More spam by the tinfoil hat site. Gotta say, they advertise the normal
stuff and leave teh weird subjects until you actually look at the site.

Gee...at my age, I have plenty of...uh "compressed air".
Maybe I ought to look into one of these!

You shouldn't be around my nephew. He's seven. I guarantee you he
doesn't have much compressed air. He lets it out all the time.

Age has nothing to do with it.

That aint "air". ;-)

So, skip right to the source:

A "Beyond Tomorrow" segment, worth the watch.

I think for things like the fork lifts, as well as lawn mowers, it is a
great thing. It really get rid of fumes and will really help the
environment. All you're doing is taking energy in one form and putting
it in another. I could be wrong, but I don't see how it will increase
fuel efficiency that much. Effectively, you're just making the CO2 at
the electric power plant rather in the car engine (assuming the air is
compressed with electric motors).

I think it has many advantages like weight. And it is probably more
reliable. I mean far fewer parts to break. But, I would have to see the
evidence that it is really that much more efficient to believe it.

Worse than that, air (and most gases that have low boiling points) are not
very "elastic." Air has a ratio of specific heats of around 1.4, so about
1/3 of the energy is lost just to the compression and expansion. Batteries
can do a lot better. The compressed air has to be used at raw pressure -
that's the point, after all - and it is very difficult to make motors that
can maintain efficiency over the range of pressures necessary to make the
system work. It's much more like charging a giant, lossy capacitor. I'd be
shocked at getting anything near 50% overall efficiency, something EVs do
with ease.
