Entrepreneurial leadership is a marvelous thing. The creativity of an inventor using his or her skills to solve social, environmental, and/or business problems is wonderful to behold.

I, like you, have been concerned about the ever increasing price of gasoline. I’m also puzzled about some of the alternatives that have been developed, such as bio-fuels from corn. When you stop and think about the time and money allocated to produce these products, the overriding effect they have on the cost of food, as well as the enormous amounts of resources used to manufacture them – it’s amazing that the public has bought into their viability. Ah – the magic of public relations.

Within the past year I happened to be watching the Science Channel on television when I came across an incredible story about some vehicles, more specifically their engines and the fuel that powers them. I was awed by their potential, inspired by their inventors, and relieved by their practicality.

The Air Car is a thing of beauty. Using compressed air to power both a piston engine, as well as a rotary engine, the results are superb. I continue to wonder why the main stream news media, political candidates, the automotive industry, and the public-at-large have not raised their voices about this fantastic invention. Could it have something to do about special interest groups? Hmm.

Air in, air out – what can be better, cleaner, and more efficient?

If you’d like to see the air car video; the same segment that appeared on the Science Channel, google “air car.” Once you’ve watched it I urge you to tell your friends.
