I've actually seen compressed air powered engines in car prototypes.  It's a nice concept, but air just lacks the strength needed to get a car going.  Plus, having highly compressed air tanks on a car is pretty dangerous when you get into an accident.

So there's your relevance with the automotive section.

I actually say some mini van on youtube that was air powered a while ago, it was pretty sick.

I am now trying to make a radial engine... tough, tough, tough indeed

So only 2 people think this topic is interesting? That is pretty sad somehow.
