They would be perfectly suited to my needs. come and check out the farm! and our blog at: http://howtogogreen.wordpress.com Thanks keep up the good work, great site!

Compressed air, often referred to as industry's fourth utility, has many uses and applications that are well understood. It will be interesting to observe how entrepreneurs from around the world use compressed air product ideas to finally displace the internal combustion engine. What a great article.

It seems to me that the Europeans have had a much more practical and economical "vision" on transportation for a longer time than American manufacturers. While the technology described may be "an" answer rather than "the" answer, following such technologies will lead to better, safer, and greener methods as they evolve. Certainly to make the process less wasteful and closer to a "perpetual motion" machine, the technology must be followed for long enough to evolve - with something other than the economical bottom line being the prime motivator.

I would buy one right now if it was available. My commute to work is 75km per day total at speeds up to 110 kmh. Since my home electricity is hydro power, this makes the setup virtually carbon free. Too bad they are not selling in Canada. MUCH cheap hydro electricity here. The fact that it has been in development for 10 years is nothing. I have been watching this project progress for the past 3 years now and am happy that they are now at the market stage. This is a GOOD idea.

I had heard a couple of years ago about buses and small vans in France using this technology. Looks like it's catching on. Here's an application of this air-compression motor technology: use it as a buffer between solar/wind generators and the electrical grid. That is, let wind and solar drive an air pump, and let the compressed air drive an electrical generator. Or even 'harvest' tanks of compressed air for use elsewhere. Might be safer and cheaper than flywheels for energy storage. Buffering is a big issue for wind/solar; check out the "Nightwind Project". Take care man, you're doing good work.. Hey Alpha,
