The French have come up with a car that runs on compressed air. From the BBC:
'Engineers in France believe they have come up with the answer that environmentalists and economists have spent years searching for: a commercially viable, 100% non-polluting car, which costs next to nothing to run.
The latest prototype will be unveiled on Thursday at the Paris motor show...
...But we were told it has a steering wheel in the middle, with passenger seats either side, a boot the size of the biggest estate, but in overall size terms is no bigger than a Smart car.
The air is compressed at pressure about 150 times the rate you would put into car tyres or your bicycle.'
