    I wonder if that ever became a police training video afterwards.

    If you scroll down all the vid's are pretty amazing. The 11 year old girl with the killer voice. The German building a judder bar etc.

    And the guys from Top Gear driving a Bugatti at 400 plus kilometres per hour.

    They have to have the best job.

    There are some seriously lucky people. Esp the Person who goes through the light over 4 lanes of traffic and misses the cars going right.
    I may be slow at getting things but..... no wait I'm just slow.

    Pure perpetual motion will not exist. Energy can only be transferred, not created and no method of conversion will ever be 100% efficient.

    So imagine if they have a solar panel on the roof, an electric air pump that can be powered eather by the panel or some of the compressed air, that way you have 2 inputs (when it is sunny) vs 1 output. Sure isnt 100% efficient, but preatty damn close, and could travel far, and no harmfull emisions.
    Sure it looks like granny's car and doesnt go fast, but its is preatty good for a first ruff sketch. And it only costs around 5000 euros ...

    you could use the exhaust air to turn a turbine which would generate power - think outside the square.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    But then it wouldn't be an electric pump, but rather a generator used to power a pump.

    Personally I think the compressed air guys were off the mark. But in their brilliance they realised they could get a lot further on a lighter vehicle. So they made the new car small light and three wheeled and then managed to sell the idea to a couple of airlines to try out. I'm thinking they should bury the thing. Oh and find out the designers name and make sure he never touches a bike.
