Compressed Air Powered Car

As car companies keep trying to create more efficient cars, a company has introduced a compressed air technology car a.k.a CAT. The car runs entirely on a stream of air delivered to a two-stroke engine.
No gasoline, no pollution and
no costly expenditures at the pump. Inside the Air Car, an electric pump compresses air into a tank. The air in turn pumps pistons that take the vehicle up to 70 mph. The car can travel 50 miles at top speed on a full tank, and farther at lower speeds.
The company plans to make two versions -- a three-seat compact priced at $9,850 and a six-seat sedan for $16,000.
The air pump that fuels the car plugs into an ordinary household socket and takes four hours to recharge.
