Way back in February, I posted a story about an Air Car. And my misgivings about its appearance are still there – and things haven’t changed. But then again, people buy SMART Cars…
Anyway, it seems that things are progressing and a market and infrastructure is getting ready for these in India. The car produces only air as its emission and it’s no dirtier than when it went in, and lets face it, air is a truly renewable resource!
India’s largest automaker is set to start producing the world’s first commercial air-powered vehicle. The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy Negre for Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air, as opposed to the gas-and-oxygen explosions of internal-combustion models, to push its engine’s pistons. Some 6000 zero-emissions Air Cars are scheduled to hit Indian streets in August of 2008. – Popular Mechanics
For a look at the technology behind the car, from an Australian no less, watch the video below.
