Conventional cars work by exploding fuel and air in a chamber to exert force on the pistons, but what if rather than using an explosion to provide that pressure on the piston, you just stored your ‘fuel’ at a constant high pressure. That’s the concept behind the air car , and it looks like a pretty promising technology.

The insight ultimately could lead to a cost-effective and energy-efficient strategy for turning biomass into alternative fuels. Cellulose is biosynthesized in plant cells by the polymerization of glucose into long chains ( green, dark blue in diagram at right ). The microfibrils are encrusted in other polysaccharides and lignin.
