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...

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.

Hello, ordinary heat pumps consume three or four times less energy than they make usable...hello? helloooooooo!!!

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.

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 air engine and the steam engine are identical in concept, but the air engine runs cold and needs no condenser.

Post any tidbit you can find about air car inventors of the past, to assist in researching their biographies. Posts about living individuals should not give any personal information. If you're descended from one of these inventors, send photos and blueprints!

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.

How much access can individual researchers get to patent office files on historical patents? Is an attorney necessary?

Inspiration for this whole category comes from the writings of Don Lancaster, who says that if you want to succeed, you'd better not act like an inventor!

I'm working on my first thousand unsuccessful tests. This is prerequisite to the first successful proof of concept, if you're doing something that's new to science (or lost and still being denied).

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.

You already know calculus. The curriculum committee is after your money. Universities are controlled by the banking industry. Cliquemongering and the Discouragement Fraternity. The prerequisite system is a price-fixing club.

All about propaganda and conspiracy in general, how we are taught to think and agree with the masters of the status quo.

Forget cars, what about drinking water? Where I live, people who drink out of their own well don't live very long.

Before the Hollywood movie, we were learning about a silent breed of undocumented alien, inhuman humans who intimidate anyone who goes up against the conspiracy of silence. Now that the "Men in Black" notion has been reduced to a joke by the movie, no one remembers where the term came from.
