I read an article on pneumatics running on air, in 1952 two brothers from New York city, Long Island I think invented a engine head that puts air into a car engine running it on air, it's was a eight cylinder 450 that used 250 pounds of pressure to push the piston down and the air was put through the spark plug holes, and the radiator was taken out and was air cooled, sense compressed was powering the engine it didn't run hot so cooling was not needed, and lighter oil a 5-10 weight oil and a compressor was put in to keep the 250 psi up and the gas tank was changed to a air tank, they drove it from New York to San Francisco back to New York city and it only cost them a quart of oil and transmission fluid, and he knew belt to drive the compressor bolted to the front of the engine, this type of air power has been around since 1919 when the Ford model T. came out, this is another invention that no one has used and don't understand why not it isn't hard to convert our engines to air powered !! Here a thought, You can use the distributor and plug wires to control the Electric air valve that goes to each spark plug hole pushing the piston down in order !! The gas petal controls how much air pressure is being used, the system can be close reusing the compressed air, putting less stress on the compressor leaving it to be used on hill climbing or going faster !!
