Who ever wrote this commentary SUCKS!!! I think they need to take a little bit of time and, take i jornalism class, because all your parentheses (are pretty annoying) to say the least, are not needed. GOOD DAY!

man, that is a weir car. I was wondering how efficient this car is? I mean, how much CO2 does?

This is exactly what I expected to find out after reading the title Air Powered Car, Round 2: Fuel Vapor. Thanks for informative article

phrawzty, you ARE being pedantic!

"can drive from Canada so San Francisco without refueling". I don't mean to be pedantic, but Canada is a pretty big place. The difference between a Vancouver - San Fran run is quite different from, say, a MontrÃƒÂ©al - San Fran run. :)

Yeah, Evan! Cool find! I agree with your commentary on the air car technology. The question is, if this can be installed on current vehicles (as I believe I read), WHAT DOES IT TAKE to do that, and will the fuel efficiency be retained. Or, more likely, will the existing engine in my 2000 Accord be compatible with this technology without losing compression, top speed, reliability, or useful lifespan, or if it will present problems when doing regular mainenance. Will it be a bolt-on system that mounts onto an EFI unit or will it require the resuscitation of carburetors and distributors? I will definitely keep this thread in mind! BTW, any of you OhGizmo dudes hear about the technology a professor at Purdue developed that uses aluminum and gallium as a catalyst to split water into hydrogen for fuel-cell cars? He claims that converting bauxite into aluminum is 50% efficient, and that 2 Al atoms generates 3 atoms of H. Stoichiometrically it works. The gallium is unaffected by the reaction and can be recovered, and the Al2O3 resulting from the oxidation of Al can be reduced through electric means back to Al, or used as the ceramic powder alumina it produces. He says that you could just end up fueling your car with aluminum-gallium pellets and water. The electricity COULD, he says, be more eco-friendly by using wind, solar, biomass and other sources. Considering that an internal combustion engine car is about 15-25% efficient, and that this produces no direct CO2, and is probably safer than carrying compressed hydrogen in your car, this seems like a pretty cool idea. Anybody care to follow up on this and post?

Isn't this the same technology that's used in the 2000-2006 Honda Insight (manual trans only)? They call it "Lean-Burn" and it is responsible for the 40% efficiency boost of the manual trans Insight over the non-lean burn auto trans models. It was also used in the CVCC models.
