The air compressed automobile thread

Any turbine!

Cheers Peter

Just a thought, but would it be more efficient (ie more usable energy) to use a "Tesla Turbine" to convert the compressed air into rotational energy rather than a "piston" type design? Allegedly Tesla claimed efficiency of up to 95% (link: Tesla turbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

It appears that piston-in-cylinder type engines inherently waste energy by the piston (and push-rods) having to change directions twice with each complete stroke.
