(2) Uh, no spark required because there is no combustion; think air compressor going backwards = air motor. OK, they are talking two models: just air getting good range, and a hybrid air/fuel motor model getting better range and mileage. http://theaircar.com A couple points for previous commenters:

Air powered car cannot work, you need to store the air after than you compressed it, it would take a lot of place and need a lot of energy to compress.
