The problem with air cars is they would ultimately use a combustion engine, and their energy efficiency is notably terrible with the energy lost from the tank to power output. On top of that, large amounts of oil is still used for the combustion engine, so it makes sense to take a more reasonably different approach.

Versus that of a BEV (battery electric vehicle) which uses very little oil at all, and has an incredibly higher energy efficiency than any combustion engine, the air car is really a secondary solution.

On the other hand, it is a better solution than hydrogen, because we already have a power grid infrastructure in place to deal with air compressors and charging batteries, whereas the infrastructure for HCV's is a bit in the future and costly.

the batteries ... solar, wind, or wave motion on the recharge?

cause electricity (to plug it in) ... may require something to to generate

Are you capable of typing like a normal, educated person?

does ... this ... bother .... you ... ?

35mph top speed......what are they going to do, limit purchases to AARP members?

teenage drivers ...

I've never seen a teenager going less than 100mph - unless it was on a cell phone.

teenagers ride cell phones? :o

Sometimes they even ride each other...

PEOPLE: READ THE APPLICATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS!!!! They have a lot of good information in them! Most of the questions I see on VJ are clearly addressed by the form instructions. Give them a read!! If you are unable to understand the form instructions, I highly recommend hiring someone who does to help you with the process. Our process, from K-1 to Citizenship and U.S. Passport is completed. Good luck with your process.

Nah, but your inability to simply come out with your point coherently, like a normal person, eventually is going to lead me to make fun of you. That's all.
