Free Range Air Cars My emphasis over the years has gradually shifted away from cars that carry several huge tanks full of high pressure air and still have to stop for a refill every 30-50 miles. The free range air car is not new, but it has yet to be revealed publicly. |

Conventional Air Cars Fill 'er up! Every 30 to 50 miles, if you plan on going anywhere very fast. Great idea for third world countries where going far or fast are not part of most peoples' daily routine. Here we talk about little cars with no compressor on board? Don't forget regenerative braking, air heating shock absorbers, pedal-powered compressors for your passengers... |

Perpetual Motion or Solar Energy or What? Almost every inventor of compressed air exotica has been called a perpetual motion crackpot, and almost every one of them has denied having any interest in perpetual motion. Compressed air is solar energy. |

The Self-Filling Air Tank George Heaton, Bob Neal and others claimed they could keep a tank of air full with only the energy of the incoming air as an energy source. Neal tank or gasoline tank? It depends on where you put your energy. |

Relative wind as an energy source for air cars Lee Barton Williams hit the headlines in 1926 because he knew that the front end of every car, truck, bus and boat is an air compressor with only one moving part: the moving vehicle itself. The energy comes from transforming ambient heat to kinetic energy to turn a fan or turbine. |

Gas Motor and Other Conversions Many people are converting two-stroke engines such as weed-whacker engines to run on air with few or no modifications. I once made a two-stage air engine from a compressor. |

The Energy of Compressed Air This information was once explicitly presented by compressed air, thermodynamics, and physics textbooks. Good luck reading the truth between the lines of modern textbooks, now that the Curriculum Committee has figured out that Prerequisites = Profits. Kinda like squeezing water out of a rock. Here are the facts about why compressed air is a potential source of solar energy, and why overunity claims do not challenge the laws of physics or thermodyanamics. |

Maxwell's Demon and the Laws of Thermodynamics As a poetic epilog to his 1870 textbook Theory of Heat, genius and savant James Clerk Maxwell proposed that we look at molecules and microseconds instead of pushing air into tanks against its will. Status quo science fixated on the "small being" and forgot to consider existing hardware and processes. Maxwell used math to predict the discovery of the electromagnetic spectrum (those are waves). Einstein called him the father of modern physics. |

A Rural Legend Crank up the fiction factory, this is where we lay the "what-ifs" on the table! What if inventor Bob Neal got his start by studying the work of inventor Lewis C Kiser? Why are exotic compressed air inventions found in geographical clusters? Do 2-stroke tuners already know how to make a Neal Tank? |

Conspiracy of Silence After the publication of ambient heat as an energy source for air cars in 1930 in a major textbook, and the sudden death of William L Saunders in 1931, air engines were never mentioned in a textbook again. By the end of WWII, texbooks had changed forever. |
