Air powered car sparks Brandy invention in Webster City
A Webster City Iowa inventor named Brandy demonstrated an air powered drivetrain for an Overland truck using chemicals drawn from ambient air. The system produced power heat and light with no gasoline and cost five cents to run the vehicle for a full day. A later engine concept would be compact light and spark plug free delivering one horsepower per pound. The plan includes heating homes with the same chemicals and using air as the energy source.
