MDI Aircar with a stylish new American website, The trouble is where are you going to get the compressed air from?

Hi qudos,
You could use electric compressors, petrol, or reversed air-drag! Bet
you didn't read my PM about the SS-G, thats was Chris B name for it.I will
show you my Autocad drawings sometime.

Hi qdos,
That what they they always say about most idea's in the past, like
the jet engine, and space exploration, etc. my Grandfather was a pioneer in
the BIS the British Interplanetary Society, and my father worked on the Saturn 5 moon rockets in the USA.
But I thought we have a few problems to sort out here on earth! I can't
stay chatting to long today because I'm getting my first EV in 1/2 an hour if we all listened to...... where would we be now?
With Best Regards,
Nigel

Someone here in my villiage paid for one of these some 6 months back, and was promised delivery in June...heard nothing yet:(
He bought it for like £2600 or so, if it ever turns up it will be a great runaround for the price.

what was that payment for?

He understood it was close to full payment for the car (it was the projected sale price)

Sorry, but it's the usual total rubbish as always.
The explanations, such as they are, make it as hard as possible for you to spot that this is an internal combustion engine.
At low speed it runs on compressed air, with poor efficiency and energy density, but possibly better than a conventional engine.
At higher speeds it's an external combustion engine, using fuel to heat and expand air.
Then it's an internal combustion engine and can recharge the air tank.
106mpg equivilent is really not very impressive. Many EVs do that on both cost equivilent and well-to-wheel calculations.

New or second hand? I find it very difficult to believe that is going to be the New OTR price
