GUELPH, Ontario, June 16, 2011; W2 Energy, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has built a small compressed-air version of the SteamRay rotary engine designed specifically to power vehicles.

This particular SteamRay will power a line of high-end compressed air motorcycles currently being designed by a major motorcycle and chopper manufacturer. It will also power a new version of the Solar Bug.

The owner of a compressed air vehicle will either charge it at home or switch out scuba-type tanks while travelling.

"We at W2 Energy think that compressed-air vehicles are one of the hot trends in high-efficiency, low-pollution vehicles," says Mike McLaren, President and CEO of W2 Energy. "These vehicles will be quiet, incredibly fast, and very powerful. I look forward to driving one myself."
