I think it's pretty awesome!

It'd be even sweeter if they could harness the power, rather than losing it constantly; it would enable you to make purpose-built short distance vehicles. Especially if there was some kind of way to reset it? so you could keep in all the gas.

Maybe even have some sort of compression chamber, that is powered by the gas it captures.

Meh I'm not an engineer (As you can tell) but I understand that it'd be impossible for it to be self sufficient.

A fucking soda powered car! Yeah!
