On overrun then engine by way of electronic valve timing or simply additional valve in the head, acts as a compressor to charge an air tank

During initial acceleration, engine is run on air.

Just the weight of a tank to add to the car. No batteries, motors of other wizardry!

What am I missing here? Pressures? I'm guessing the engine could produce 150psi, perhaps more if Atkinson cycle is used.
