I had this idea for a clean, non polluting engine. Instead of using gas combustoin, what if you took high pressuser air compressres (small of course) and plugged one up to its own cylnder, lets say a v8 block. So you would have 8 high pressure air compressors under the hood feeding to each cylinder. They would work the same as the gas would, inserting air in the cylinder pushing it down, cranking the engine. Then a generator or two could be linked to the engine so the compressors could be powered, recurculating the energy. Obviosly a starter motor would be needed. What do you guys think about this, think you could make enough pressure to push the cylinder down like gas could? Maybe I should market this to some technisions, get my name on a new type of engine and make some damn good money, haha!
