I have to agree, I don't see any way it could be self-sustaining
unless the inventor had some kind of trick, however, from an
ecological standpoint, the idea of using air to run the majority of
internal combustion engines would do wonders to reduce pollution and
heal the atmosphere.
But to compress that air in the first place would need energy that has
to come from somewhere, a gravity wheel, a hydrogen fuel cell to drive
an electric motor, a hamster in a cage..<g>, from that standpoint any
of those could just drive the car direct.
Rogers is saying his airmotor system will replenish its air charge at
speeds over 20mph apparently using the inertia of the car.
So perhaps an auxiliary power unit that was not required to run
continuous but only runs when needed to restore the drained air charge
from low speeds.
Such a trickle charge type compressor system might be able to overcome
the loss of so much pressure at low speeds.
I don't think Rogers ever claimed it was free energy since he does
admit that it will run down at low speeds but the importance of
adapting such a system to reduce pollution makes it well worth
checking into.
