Air Car

When I saw the headline AirCar I imagined at first it meant walking, perhaps with a lean on the corners and some sort of idle motion while waiting for street lights. But no. There is actually such a car, or better, such an engine. Using compressed air, released to drive pistons, along with a fuel module as in the now familiar hybrid models, the Midi is said to have achieved a driving range of 200 km before needing a “fill up” of more air.

There remains the problem of compressing the air, of course. Using dirty coal to do it, won’t do.
