Sources close to the designer said "a similar version is being pioneered for Sussex and JD. The car will run on hot air and it is thought that these 2 will be able to produce this in sufficient quantities to enable the car to be powered for long periods of time." :mrgreen:

reading through the blurb the model they are planning to produce have an on board compressor driven by the alternator/generator set and take 5.5 hours to recgarge

Interesting concept but it has been tried before and failed to get off the ground so we will see
