This is not a new idea. In fact, the air compressed car has been in the works since the late 1990's and could be on the market sometime next year. I cannot explain the science of how it works because I might not do it justice but I can tell you in era where fuel efficiency is a hot topic, the air compressed car will hopefully set the world on fire.
Pending on the model of your air compressed car, it can reach speeds of 65-90 mph. An air tank should be able to fuel the car for 125 miles and cost about $3 dollars to fill. There is even an option in which the car can refuel itself by purchasing a specifically designed air compressor for the home.
The benefits of this car are the decrease in CO2 emissions and an alternative fuel source to power public and private transportation. Air or most specifically compressed air is not a rare commodity, thus allowing a steady price for consumers rather than the consistently fluctuating price of gasoline. Simply put, the air compressed car is better for the environment and your wallet.
I don't think this is the only solution but it can be a viable alternative. Why can't Americans embrace the automobile and the air compressed car? Why must there only be one type of car to drive or one way to manufacture a form of transportation?
I don't want to think of Americans as selfish and shallow. I don't think Americans only want to drive large, fuel hungry automobiles that do nothing but show off or over-compensate for other qualities they lack. I don't think Americans are speed junkies and only care to drive fast cars so they can land fast women/men. I'm tired of Americans coming up for excuses why alternative forms of transportation like the air compressed car cannot work. I wish more Americans could start to think openly about how this could work or maybe more importantly, why it should work.
