Old idea resurrected. I first came upon the idea of compressed air as
an energy source on seeing a report back in the late 60s/ early 70s. It
wasn't applied to cars, though.
Seems as though it could have potential for urban private transport,
though, thermodynamically, its overall efficiency would have to be
measured in terms of the energy required to compress the air compared
to the energy obtained from the air.

I wonder why the question of compressed-air cars has not yet come up
here? Seems more logical route to go than hydrogen and fuel-cells?
