Where does the power for all the ancillary items come from?
Couldn't an alternator be run off the main air engine?

Sounds like this car would be great for commuters. Drive it to work, plug it in and drive it home.

If it had it's own air compressor built in, it could essentially recharge itself as you're driving, providing that you'd never have to refill it...
d00d! That's almost like self-perpetual movement!

This would be excellent if it was possible. But it's not.
