I was thinking the same thing. Somehow use the braking forces to compress more air for fuel
Bye bye Gasoline....

Now thats an idea as well.... Can't believe this technology isn't being explored here in the States!

I would think there is no incentive. I bet the profit margin on this is low. The Big 3 are used to making a grand or two on a car.
And it would kill sales of their cars.
Of course, adding in all the safety features would add weight which would reduce it's efficiency.
I still think the American automakers haven't got past Henry Ford's attitude of "any color you want, as long as it's black".
Too many politicians are being bought by big oil. They would kill any attempt to infringe on big oil's profits. Why is it that gas is at records highs - and so is the profits of the big oil companies?
Zoinks!

That's what I was thinkin. Who's your ISP? Cause everyone I know is payin a monthly fee for it. If you know how to get it free, key me in! I want free internet!I dunno what internet you use.. I pay $60 every month. WiFi at Starbucks is not free....

About six months ago a 15 or 16 year old boy in a small country near Turkey had devloped such a creature. It was very slow and about 90% efficent. Goverment officials snatched it up and was sent to engineers in Germany for further review. No follow up reports have been issued. MDI has been around that I know of since the late 90's. One of the problems they faced was storage of the compressed air- the solution was our favorite material, Carbon fiber which will crack on impact making a controled release rather than a steel tank that becomes a missle. I've been following this topic for about seven years now. There is also a company in Austrailia that makes a conversion kit for scooters, small outboards, and several other applications including their companys forklift. The solution to salvaging & reusing the spent air is closer than might think. Just imagine how this will change the entire earths economy when anything that uses a motor or engine to do just about everything is powered by air-transportation,energy production, anything that uses electric or fossil fuels will become almost free except for the cost of the conversion to air power. Nearly every physics forum you go to has a section devoted to this subject. Great post Sonny! BTW, does anyone know the formula to determine the maximum CFM for a supercharger or a turbo of any given size? Yes, really.Perpetual motion.

Engine size (cid) x max. rpm/3456 =cfm
@100% VE (volume efficiency)
Example: 350 cid x 6,000 rpm = 210,000/3456 = 608
Man... The possibilities this thing opens! Never even thought about all the obstacles they had to over come just to get to point a...
