342. RE: World's First Air-Powered Car: ABOLISH THE LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS
If all of you folks are wondering why these cars are taking so long to come to market, I will tell you; I have good sources that say the "inventors" are waiting for the laws of thermodynamics to be abolished. If they are able to operate outside of the laws of thermodynamics, they will be able to do magnificent things with this idea. Pay attention in science class kids!!

MDI is not claiming the air car is a perpetual motion machine. No abolition of the law of thermodynamics is needed. Let's put that strawman away.

I did get carried away there a bit huh? Here is another angle. My son is a fireman and he tells me that they have equipment down at the firehall to compress air to 4000 psi. The claim is that the air cars have a built in compressor that can recharge the tanks in 4 hours. Fine! However my son tells me that their compression eqipment cost around 26,000 dollars. Let's add that into our equation.

I don't know if there is liability involved with that or not. I have built some hospitals and paid of $3,000 for a medical gas valve when the welding supply store sells the same valve made by the same manufacturer in the same plant for under $100.

Time will tell. It will soon be August. Meantime I'm not holding my breath and wont be in the market for an air-car anyhow. I do like to have some steel around me on the highway but some ride motorcycles! It's interesting.
