It would be great if they can modify in a way that will allow it to compresses air when you brake.
Yes.. that was one of the key things of that system... there is no idle.. as it dose not need to... gas engines need to idle to sustain the reaction.. or have a electric starter motor to start the reaction... in the air motor.. one or more pistons are always on a power stroke.. you would just need to open the valve and apply the air pressure to start it up again...

The system really has potential...

I am kinda working on my own concept... using some of the ideas I mentioned about power reclamation..
