I would assume a tank.

yah... but they use energy to put the compressed air into the tank... soo... the car may be economic... but putting the air in the tank uses electricity... which is like burning coal, which is like polluting the air... Eh, I'm gonna run my car off of old dead midgets

Quote:Di Pietro said it used compressed air to drive a rotary engine, abandoning the pistons and cylinders seen in regular designs.hooray for rotaries... let's see some hydrogen rx8 action!
Di Pietro said the engine's potential was immense and he claimed to have attracted interest from the United States, China, the Netherlands and Britain.
