Simply put, perpetual motion, is impossible.
Machines cannot be 100% efficient. This is because friction causes energy to be converted into heat and effectively lost from the system. To make this explicit: this loss of energy, no matter how small, will ultimately drain all of the energy from the system and cause it to stop unless extra energy is added.
Keep in mind that I'm not knocking the idea of a car that runs on compressed air. Personally, I think that it seems like a good, cheap, low-tech way to get around.
The thought that you could somehow make this into a perpetual motion machine, however, is naive and stupid.
Sorry for not explaining this in detail previously. I should've known that someone arguing that a perpetual motion machine knew nothing about physics.
