Did you hear about the Air Car yet? They're being developed in France.

They run on engines powered by compressed air. From the report I saw, they're still tweaking it, but the air is compressed en masse and then pumped into the car's air storage tanks. It looks exactly like pumping petrol, only it's air.

The compressed air pushes the engine, and then leaves the car via exhaust or whatever. Runs on air, gives off only air. The report showed the newscaster driving about in one and everything.

But here's the best bit - these babies can do up to 80mph, and only cost £2500 (US$5000, roughly) to buy! Two and a half grand for a car that doesn't harm anything!

They said they've still got a bit of development to go yet though. It's being designed by a former F1 race engineer, and if and when they're put on sale I'll be first the bloody queue.

How neat is that?
