"Hey, would you like to see a really dumb piece of science TV?
Sure you would!
Yes, the narrator appears to have no idea what “ironically” means, but never mind that. I find it pretty impressive that the voiceover proudly announces that it will cost nothing to fill up an air car, even as the guy they’re interviewing explains that the engine runs on air that has been compressed somehow, and explicitly states that the air is just an energy carrier, not an energy source. (See also “hydrogen wells, nonexistence thereof”.)
At the end of the clip, the voiceover grudgingly admits that it will take “some energy” to compress the air… and then immediately boldly postulates an absolutely classic, in-as-many-words perpetual-motion machine, in which the car carries around its own compressed-air-powered air-compressor.
Seriously. That’s what he says. In a science show." - from
