Hardly revolutionary or an alternative for gas.
The alternative for gas is solar/wind/nuclear IMO, everything else is just adding complexity and inefficiency. The only problem is energy storage density, but once that is improved then just go electrical cars.

It may not be revolutionary (as it was used 80 years ago), but it is great to know alternatives.
I agree. Electric would be most desirable.
