A Real Alternative Fuel that Makes Sense



Want a real alternative car that makes actual sense?  How about one the runs on compressed air.  Think it's a joke or a waste of time? Check out the Magnetic Air Car and put away your doubts. The technology isn't new either. In 1932, J.M. Custer of Piggott, Arkansas had an idea for a car that would run on compressed air. He not only built the car, but it actually ran. He used an engine that resembled a radial airplane motor in appearance. It was mounted upright in the same space occupied by gasoline motors in standard cars. Four tanks filled with compressed air powered the car 500 miles at a speed of 35 miles an hour. The engine did not require a cooling system, ignition system, carburetor, nor the hundreds of moving parts included in a standard gasoline motor.


The technology didn’t attract much interest for 75 years. But it’s resurfacing, using today’s high technology.
