Odd. I see nothing to that effect anywhere. Of course ANY IC engine
can be made to turn by injecting compressed air. Try it yourself and
see just how long one can be made to run with nothing but a tank of
compressed air in and automobile.
Face it. What Tata is testing does not even come close to resembling
hyour "air car" idiocy".
It is an IC engine using a limited amount of compressed air for a
temporary power boost. Done much simpler every day with
superchargers.

I don't watch U-tube (on dial-up) but that ref to 200 mph and free air
sounds suspiciously like the first claims MIDI was making 10-15 years
ago. The amount of BS put out back then would have heated the world
if set on fire.
