... or, seat your mother-in-law in the back seat and get limitless range and speeds of 160+km/hr without any need to recharge !

Only issue is the exhaust will then be hot air ... OK for winter I guess ! ??



Kev..

According to the laws of HHO cells, it will be refuelled by a chinese knock-off ARB compressor.

but what about the energy required to fill the tank up with compressed air or does it recharge as it goes i would think it would have to be a fairly big tank

A big Vindaloo and plumbing off the drivers seat?

A uni in Australia has a protoype running around. The idea is you charge it overnight using a low speed, low power compressor.

Much lower carbon footprint then a combustion engine even using the grid to power the compressor.

Maybe a Vindaloo for the drag races, and baked beans for normal commuting...

i would imagine it would have good acceleration

at this rate, if cars are going air powered we will be going backwards and start using hot air ballons for air transportation
