Here's an alternative route to saving gas. This rotary air engine is fed by high-pressure air tanks which means no gas, no combustion, no exhaust and no gearbox or shifting due to a single gear a 1:1 ratio.
Student Edwin Yi Yuan created this as a student project at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, this bike is intended to be a land racer.
It [air power] has lower mileage than petrol. I mean to cover the same distance, you need a lot more volume of compressed air than petrol. That means we're either going to have to go to the gas station more often, or have a huge heavy tank on the bike which makes it very heavy. Even a dangerously high pressure air tank still cannot compare to petrol for power to volume figure.
