Cars powered by air?

I was watching a show, or 3 part thing over the past 3 weeks, "Future Cars". They also talked about ethanol, biodiesol, solar, electric- how your neighbors car could be powered by something different than yours. recyling old car parts into diesol and something called "skateboard" a car platform that can be used universally for different vehicles.

dang, seems really awesome if could ever really be perfected. I still have a hard time believing it (or anything) will ever completely take over gas powered cars.

i only caught a little bit of the series, but it was pretty damn cool.

Ughh I hated that show. All the designers were hippys and skateboard is one thousand times dumber than crossover vehicles are now (didn't think that was possible, but they pulled it off).

FYI someone invented air power boats too:


:p

I saw that last night, and I like that air car concept as well, but I also like the “water fuel” concept, because I have worked on making fuel from water, a little bit last year. It is very explosive. The way that they are planning to do it, will just use the hydrogen that is pulled from the water and not the oxygen, but they both can be used as fuel and produced on demand. I may have posted this video http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...niting+bubbles
on here before, but anyway, it is a video that I uploaded last year, after I had started tinkering with it. I used a water and baking soda solution - the baking soda acts as an electrolyte to increase the “electro-chemical” reaction, to separate the two hydrogen molecules and the one oxygen molecule. I also used 12 volts and 10 amps from a battery charger, and a few drops of dish soap to catch the gas. The production of this gas called "Hydroxy", can be done without an electrolyte though.
