POPSSmall (Car, House) Is Beautiful I think everyone should have at least one tiny house. Might be a good idea for all of us living on the Atlantic and Gulf coast. When you run you need somewhere to go.

POPSFuture engines full of compressed air They are expected to be so popular, that there will soon be fueling stations for them. Maybe they could just supercharge the tyre pump. The car is expected to need 2 litres of fuel per 100 kilometers. The prototype of the bike, can hold 91/2 litres of compressed air, which will carry a rider for just over a kilometer.

POPS106 mpg "Air Car" Creates Buzz.. & questions
The concept is similar to how a locomotive works, except compressed air -- not steam -- moves the engine's pistons, said Shiva Vencat, vice president of MDI and CEO of Zero Pollution Motors. Gas still plays a role The six-seater planned for the U.S. market would be able to reach speeds of more than 90 mph and have a range of more than 800 miles thanks to a dual energy engine, Vencat said.. The design calls for one or more tanks of compressed air under the car's floor, as well as a tank holding at least 8 gallons of fuel. Whether the engine uses just air or both air and fuel would depend on how fast the car is going. It would run purely on compressed air at speeds less than 35 mph, Vencat said. Since the car could only go a short distance when using just air, fuel is needed to get the full range, he explained. "Above 35 mph, there is an external combustion system, which is basically a heater that uses a little bit of gasoline or biofuel or ethanol or vegetable oil that wil

POPSVisions of Putty Somehow, I don't think I'll be trying this on any of my precious laptop components just yet. The idea of purposefully placing something akin to silly putty on a keyboard, allowing it to flow around the keys, and expect not to end up with a gooey mess disturbs me greatly. I think I'll stick to compressed air. Interesting idea just the same... why else ruin hundreds of dollars of componenets?

POPSThe "air car": a compressed-air engine Energy-efficient and near-zero or zero emissions? Sounds like a winner to me. Apparently it relies on stored compressed air mixed with fuel. I don't quite understand the technology. An India-based company is developing it.
