There are definitely engines that run on compressed air. Technically all ICEs do too, but they also require fuel.

I'm pretty sure I read something about Koenigsegg having some gizmo that allowed the engine to act as an air pump, off throttle. It fills a tank and is available as boost for later.
Not quite what the nutter in the OP is talking about mind you

Yeah, I think they use it to spool the turbos up quicker or somesuch?

Fails in the newness category.

That's all sorts of mental!

Am I the only one who noticed he asked where the fuel goes in a formula e car

I confess I didn't watch to the end. They don't mention the date at all, do they i.e. an April 1st reference perhaps...

Awesome

Presumably these guys have cars and have tried driving them with no-fuel?

It really is time someone lured all of these fucking retarded cunts into a big grinder and made dog food out of them.

No We don't want to be feeding beloved animals that shite.





Also, I thought the nfct might be the big earth theory


The views in that video are backed by divine substance;

Now, I don’t know for a FACT that F1 cars run on petrol

But I have to question what the benefit of lying about it is

There was a train engine that used enormous compressed air tanks to help response, but the tanks didn’t last long. We drain a 3000litre bottle from 30bar to 18 bar in 3 starts. So a whole 30 seconds.

I would happily pay to watch videos of person shouting NO, then slapping each of these idiots in the face with a steel gloved hand. Might help society in general.

Dave!

That's one of my favourite conspiracy theories too...

Beyond either that post or the wording therein, I can't find any evidence that that statement is correct in any way.

For clarity, please don't think for a second that I consider the above to constitute evidence.
