Air powered car proposed by Obid M. Smith in Miami
The article discusses Obid M. Smith’s 25 year air powered car concept. He claims a 150 pound air tank at the rear replaces gasoline and can be refilled at air stations, with four compressors renewing air while driving and no oil changes due to lack of heat. He toured 9000 miles in 1929 using converted gasoline engines on compressed air.
