A couple companies are working on compressed air cars. Including Tata Motors (don't laugh, they own Jaguar and Land Rover and Daewoo). Fortune lists them as the 265th largest company in the world. I believe they intend to release the first air car in 2020. Specs include an 80 mile range, top speed of 50 MPH, and it re-fuels in 2 minutes.

Didn't see a link Larry,so i looked found this one. https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-elec ... -car-myth/

Tata will make it happen, whether it makes sense or not. Their chief design engineer on this project used to be a top rated Formula One race car designer from France.

I just looked it up and the first compressed air carriage to run without rails hit the streets of France in 1844. So this isn't actually a new idea.

Water powered BS crap. I swear these dam Millennial journalists are getting stupider by the minute.

And compressed air, WTF. Sure you can make it work but the adiabatic efficiency sucks. Your typical pneumatic system used in industry operates at about 12% efficiency

I love how they show it blowing steam out the exhaust at almost 1,000 BTU per pound, that's proof that it's efficient

Seems more like a commercial to sell investing in the company, rather than any proof of concept.

Too early to sell your tulip shares yet.

Crowley I think proved that there would be water powered cars, but it is nothing like they show here. In his case, a custom cam maker, he invented the six stroke engine, and I strongly feel that will be the wave of the future.

Why would it not, a person gets a free power stroke just by injecting water at the right time, and rids the engine of heat reducing the parasitic load of the cooling system? That is pretty cool.

They would be better for locomotives and gensets then cars granted, because it could haul around fuel and water easier then a car, but they say what is old is new again, so maybe it is time to go back to the steam engine...of sorts...a gasoline and steam hybrid engine.

I thought Honda or some other big company already accomplished this 10-15 years ago. Don’t recall who it was , but I remember being in the dentist office and showing to my wife the back cover of a National Grographic magazine that showed two to three guys in white coats standing next to a chassis and drivetrain and one guy was holding a glass of water while standing next to the fuel fill, and another guy holding a glass under the tail pipe. The remarks were, l”Water in, water out.”
