Compressed Air Motors Show Promise in Cars
Roy J. Myers of Los Angeles demonstrates a car powered by compressed air, aiming to reduce fire risk and fuel weight. The 200 pound air tank drives a six cylinder engine yielding 35 mph on a LA to Bakersfield trial, with 10 pounds of air per 1.3 miles and 10 percent leakage. The system recaptures spent air and re compresses it, using a heated fuelless setup and a dial throttle for air intake. Myers notes broader use awaits further development and tests.
