A Car that Runs on Air
Now, if someone started telling you about a car that runs on air at the Saturday arvo barbecue you would probably think it was part elborate spoof and retort with a story about the Labor Party actually having real, workable policies on climate not just soapbox marketing.Although the car that runs on air is much more of a fact than the latter.
MDI (Moteur Developpment International) have been working on this for a number of years, having developed the technology which utilizes compressed air to power a vehicle. A prototype has seen various trials in France as a taxi.
A Taxi version of the Air Car:
Tata Motors recently signed an agreement with MDI (the developers of the Air Car) to help develop the technology and retain a licence for it's use in India. Tata cars, buses and trucks are being marketed in several countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and in Australia.
There is an article on how compressed air technology works at The Air Car
Or watch the video of the air car:
