Reminds me more of an oversized air tool than a car. I love the way they go on about no cost energy. It isnt. Its energy exchange. Youve got to input some form of energy to compress the air in the first place which then expands to provide the energy to turn the gas turbine!! If you use an electric compressor for the first stage it uses 240v from the national grid which is supplied by coal fired and nuclear power stations
