I like it. When you think how many short trips folks make daily it makes a lot of sense. Shucks, Washington DC runs on hot air.

Hmmm. I could run it off my dogs rear "air" outlet.

Well it is flammable. That would be an extra octane boost

Methane is the answer! Burp and Fart your way around town.

i see some one here in nz is experimenting

with a motor cycle powered by compressed air

and it is opereational

as ive seen it beeing tested

the inventor has been offered a

sum to sell the patients rights

to an american firm

ive been trying to find the article in the news media

so i can send it to the board

but they are pretty closed mouthed about it

he tried it on a race track bike some time ago

but ran out of money

so the experiment was stopped

but it looks as tho it has surfaced again

as ime not a motor engeineer

how it works is a mystery to me

but when it surfaces ile send info to the board

ive seen a rifle powered by compressed air

and they can kill a animal so

so i cant see that it dosent work

as a driving unit

It would be OK until it started developing leaks in the pneumatic system. When parts and seals start leaking, it would be a nightmare

Hmm, would that be an American OIL COMPANY?!? Tell him to sell! We must suppress such technology!
