Who invented the air-powered car?

There is no such thing as an air-powered car in the sense of a car that runs solely on compressed air. While there have been experimental prototypes and concepts, no one has successfully invented a practical, commercially available air-powered car.

Here's why:

* Energy density limitations: Compressed air has a lower energy density than gasoline or batteries, meaning you need a large tank to store enough energy for a practical driving range.

* Refueling issues: Refueling with compressed air takes significantly longer than filling a gasoline tank, and finding air stations is much less convenient.

* Performance limitations: Air-powered engines generally have lower power output and acceleration compared to conventional engines.

However, there have been some advancements in the field of compressed air technology:

* Hybrid air cars: Some companies have developed hybrid vehicles that use compressed air as an auxiliary power source, supplementing a traditional engine or battery.

* Compressed air for braking: Some vehicles use compressed air to assist with braking, improving efficiency and reducing wear on brake pads.

While a fully air-powered car is not currently viable, compressed air technology continues to evolve. It's possible that further advancements could lead to more practical applications in the future.
