New car to be powered by hot air
Permalink  

A company will be introducing a car to the US in late 2009 or early 2010 that will be powered by hot air and a backup combustion engine. Supposedly you'll be able to go about 800 to 1000 miles between fill ups and drive up to 96mph. It'd be cool if all the claims were true, or if it actually ever made it to market.

At first glance I thought the car would be powered by Hillary, Obama and McCain.

On the serious side,

Wouldn't it be great if this were for real?

unfortunately these sorts of stories tend to surface around the time oil prices rise. I hope they're true, but I have to admit I'm skeptical...
