Just saw today(april 17th/99) on TV5-International French TV programs
now broadcasted into North America,on the SWISS News Journal at 17:00
Eastern Time an item about a Swiss inventor from the Swiss school of
engineers(?) in Geneva that said Swiss had invented an AIR COMPRESSED
motor-it weighted about 30 kgs..It simply runs on compessed air !

It was shown at a Swiss trade show (?).An expert said that the idea was
simple,surprising but that it worked,thus..The motor needs to be
recharged via electricity,for 4 hrs and it is good for 200 miles and
cost about 2 Swiss francs(?) per 100 miles !

Ideal for the city,to curb pollution-but not for highway..So good in
fact tht production was going to begin next year.Also that Mexico (city)
was going to replace all the motors of its buses ,cabs with that engine
in an effort to curb pollution..Estimates was than within 10 yr it would
be generally available in the market..

I did not get the name of the company that as promoting that motor..(to
be made in Switzerland (?)..Nor did I get its website..They did show(on
the nws) part of the promo video made by said company..

Yours,ryb...
