What got me about this video were not the claims by the inventor but the ridiculous conclusions by the reporter. Anyone who has filled an air mattress on a camping trip or blown up one of those huge inflatable swimming pools knows first hand that compressed air is NOT FREE! It comes with a price, and sometimes a huge price depending upon the volume of air or the pressure of the air that is required. Can you imagine blowing up the tire of your car with your lungs? Compressed air is not free! Not only is it NOT free, but it is also not an efficient way to power a motor, like the motor of a car.
The main inefficiency comes when the air is compressed. Wherever this takes place, there is a huge energy loss due to the heating of the air during the action of compressing the air. It is the same when you pump up your bike tire with a hand pump. The base of the bike pump can get so hot you can't touch it without burning yourself. All that energy that is used to heat the air is lost into the atmosphere. It takes a lot of electricity to compress air. A lot more energy that you get out of it in the motor of a car that runs on air.
It is a scam! Don't believe it, especially at the end of the video when the reporter starts talking about perpetual motion and using compressed air to generate more compressed air. It is ridiculous!

Jeff, a friend of mine, Crystal Elzwick Mateer posted this open letter - I thought you of all people might enjoy it!! Here it is:
ReplyDeleteGot this from a Friend! LOL
DIVORCE AGREEMENT
American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists
and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce.... I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot
Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood ..
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are
under assault, we'll help provide them security.
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley Maclaine. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a
right. We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you Answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Bill Maher,Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand,Whoopi Goldberg,Joy Behar & Jane Fonda with you..
P. S. S. And we won't have to press 1 for English.
