I didn't realize that the Discovery Channel is staffed by morons...

So, I'm watching this show called "FutureCar" which seems pretty cool, until they got to the "air-powered car".  They explain that it's a car that runs on compressed air, and compresses its own fuel by compressing air as it runs.  A perpetual motion machine, they call it, without a hint of skepticism.

Of course, I'm the idiot watching the Discovery Channel while half a world away from home, but hey, it was a long day... :-)
