This am azi ng vehicle is f ast and f u riou s- - and p owered by AI R ! W atch and learn as com p resse d air exp lodes ou t of the tank to ru n a p neu m atic m otor p owering gears

and m oving you r vehicle. C om p resse d air vehicles have been in the works f or years with f u nctional locom otives in the 187 0' s and cars in early 20th centu ry. This is the technology behind the f antast ic vehicle that is the Air Scream er. Pu m p u p the volu m e …. .. of air. F ill the tank one crank at a tim e.

The crank is bu ilt into the Air Scream er' s body. Saf ety valves are in p lace that bleed of f over p u m p ed air and elim inate the p ossi bility of disa st er. I f you crank too m u ch, the sa f ety valve lets ou t air u ntil the tank reaches op tim u m p ressu re.

As se m bly and op eration is a breeze . A p u m p - u p bar with a p ressu re m eter is bu ilt into the car f or easy op eration. This m eter m easu res the volu m e of com p resse d air. The si licon tu be ( red in color) creates an air tight f it. W hen the air cham ber is f u ll, you can release the com p resse d air; the air then exp ands and drives the vehicle a dist ance u p to 16 5 F eet ( 5 0 m eters) in 35 se conds. The Air Scream er is am azi ngly f u n and req u ires no batteries or sp ecif ic weather conditions to lim it its u sa ge. Ju st const ru ct, f ill with air, and get ready to watch it zo om !
