Yes, this is super awesome, but it's essentially just an upgrade of the electric car (one that doesn't use as much energy), because it's tanks are recharged by electric compressors.
If something like this is marketed in the United States, and advertised, it would be something wonderful (along with the water-powered car).
Though, now they just have to make one that doesn't look butt-ugly or when they find out how to make it's max speed more than 68 mph, and people will buy them.

I'll have to search this company's website to see if they "ran the numbers," so to speak, with regards to see how this concept compares with other technologies on a larger scale.
Perhaps this vehicle should be advertised as "The Politician's Car"...since it runs on lot's of hot air and all.  | |

In a sense we already can and/or are. The oil from High Grease Usage Resturants can be refined into gas for any desiel car, no added parts or anything needed for the car | |

Country: Level up: 56%, 88 Points needed | | but seriously if human fat could be refined into a fuel...I swear the National debt would be erased because the government would either "draft" us to get lipo or pay us by the pound for it LOL
Then sell it off to countries for profit like oil. TAKE THAT IRAQ!!! | |
