Wonder what resistance I would get if I tried to import one of these to the UK ?

They may not be the solution to all transportation needs but with a range of nearly 200 miles they would fit nicely in most people's daily driving habits. As for compressed air being hazardous, Gerry, it is NOT volatile. What you see being carried on trucks is compressed oxygen and other flamable gasses. Gasoline or hydrogen are much more dangerous in an accident. But the main advantage is that it frees the American people and the people of the world from dependence on oil for transportation. The enviromental impact would be positive inspite of the increase in demand for electricity. This is new technology...give it a chance for developement.

We get on the norm west winds of about 80 to 100 Km/Hr Gusting to 110 or 120 Km/hr sometimes! Pretty much year round! It dosen't look like a very safe vehical to be driving broad side to blizzard type winter winds in winter, or even on a hot July day when the wind is strong! Are we now saying 'as long as it's clean, go with it! To heck with safety!' Let's not compromize peoples lives with something that doesn't make a whole lotta sence anyways!

So, in conclusion to what Evan had to say, I say this.. until we all find a truly environmentally friendly, high efficient clean vehicle... either start walking, or obtain an air car. Seems right for me, and I will hope to obtain an air car when they become available. As for the global warming.. cyclical or not, probably so, but realize that the rain forrests are being cut down at such a phenominal rate per day, these rain forests provide weather paterns, clean air, oxygen for this globe we live on. I am not a tree hugger, but wish to clean up some how. perhaps the thing we should all do is revert back to horse and buggy, but then we would have to consider all those horses and the poop and methane they produce would open another can-o-worms on the environment in global warming.

If you look back about 30 to 33 years ago we were going to go into an ice age. It didn't happen. The earth has its cycles, this is just one of them. I don't think we have the power to change the climate. This is just put out by the DOOM & GLOOM pepole. Air power I feel is a very good way to go. At least someone is trying to come up with a solution to get away from our dependance on other countries for oil. We need to say the hell with the tree huggers and people who think animals have more rights than people, and start drilling. One of these days we will be shut down by other countries when they deceide to cut off our oil. Do you really believe there is global warming?
