Have a look at this nice video presentation:

Not too bad and with your own air compressoryou can charge
the car up yourself.

The power for this could be generated by alternative energy sources,
better not by burning fossil fuels...

I have endless trouble with videos. Often they they turn
out to be a crap waste of time. This website certainly
has bandwidth problems, Stefan. How can you be promoting
video clips, even if, as in this case, they are using up someone
else's bandwidth? Is there no text reference? Do you mean
these people?

Hi Stefan,

My son saw this video several months ago; it inspired him to try to build an air-powered bike for a school science fair.  Some pictures are attached below. He's 14 years old and I must say I am proud of his effort. One picture is of the air-motor and paintball tank as he was doing initial testing. The second picture is a side-view of the bike, still in assembly.

The project is not done yet but he tells me he was able to do a stationary test and the motor ran for 14 minutes at an approx speed of 10mph. The tank is 4500psi 68in³  size. The motor is an air-mixer motor I borrowed from work. The motor can develop one horsepower. The throttle is an air gun trigger secured between the motor and the air-tank. He secured the trigger with duct-tape  (that's my boy)!!!

His picture is down below.

Just wanted to show this for everyone's amusement. His science-fair is next month.

Thanks everyone for your interest.

I know there's not much interest here, but I just figured I would follow up with the finished bike. The Science fair is next week.

Thanks for your interest.
