Question

Click

In an interview in the Daily Telegraph, he's banging on about possibly producing "a type of transport which will ensure personal freedom for the next few years". The interviewer reckons it could be a compressed-air powered car ....

Anyone know what he's up to?

Exclamation

But how would you compress the air. Using electricity? produced at a power station? The inefficiency of converting electricity to compressed air must surely rule this out.

Wasn't the 'Segway' (sp?) going to be the great liberator? How about a new C5?

I reckon it will be a small car with a sail, or a nuclear power plant Anyway if it needs government backing then it ain't going to happen.

Speedking -- that's what I was thinking ... doesn't sound promising, does it?
