A compressed air powered vehicle is a new concept that would use compressed air from a built-in air compressor to propel vehicles, thus drastically reducing the dependence on fossil fuels or electricity which are major sourcesof pollutants and green house gases.

The inventor, Peter Vranesh, orginally from Eagle River, WI, said, "This vehicle can be assembled from off-the-shelf components that are already in use and readily available." He sayes that he would like to see Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Chrysler Corporation --each independently--devote about 10,000 square feet of space, two mechanics and access to their engineering departments, to produce a prototype in each class of vehicle from subcompact, midsize and SUV's. This could save the American Automotive Industry. He added, "There is no new technology necessary and this could be ready in a matter of weeks." Vranesh said that he thinks this is the most important innovation of the millennium and would have numerous positive effects on the world economy, reduce air pollution, the need for foreign oil that we currently spend hundreds of billions of dollars on each year, as well as having an endless supply of clean, readily available, inexpensive energy and remove pollutants and clean the air through filters located in the intake of the compressor--thus having a positive effect on the health of the earth. The alternative fuel ideas being discussed now are years off into the future and in some cases, cost trillions of dollars to develop, resulting in higher food prices and other negative effects, including less land for food production and a continuation of green house gasses. Mr. Vranesh ended
by saying,
                            " This is a major answer to the energy problem faced by today's world."
