I don't know if there is such a system. But I think it is quite difficult to make.

I haven't heard of this and really don't know how it would work. Just runs on air? Doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, just wonder which part to use in the engine combustion? Oxygen?

The air powered car was supposed to have gone into production last summer in India. I've also read, somewhere, that Mexico is also producing air powered cars. The cars use a combination of pressurized air and gasoline. When the air chamber runs out, you just plug the car into an electrical outlet and recharge the air cannister.

Here's the link the to the Popular Mechanics article that covers the story:

The car is great! I think the manufacturers should look forward to mass production of this kind of car is up for the future. This is a hit!

I’m just wondering when my car would have something like that. I think that I would be one of the first one to buy it, if is available on my country. I’m just crossing my fingers that such technology wouldn’t have backfired.

This is great! It should be better if you can charge it in a shorter period.
