Cars can be run on air - right now

Odds are you've never heard of this car.

Odds are you've never heard of this car. Why not? Why is a French company developing it with zero help from the high rolling US-UK dominated global financial system which until recently had money for every loony scheme imaginable?

All you have to do is follow the money.

Top industries
Spending on lobbying so far in 2008
Industry Amount in millions
1. Drugs $113
2. Insurance $76
3. Electric utilities $65
4. Computers $60
5. Oil and gas $55

The Oil and Gas industry along with the Car industry are crooks; controlling the media and playing on our ignorance to make a profit as they continue to pollute the environment.

The banking system and the oil industry are closely intertwined and they want to protect their investment in the gasoline infrastructure at all costs.
Fortunately, France doesn't have the same commitment to gasoline as fuel that the US and UK does.
France does have oil companies, but it doesn't have the equivalent of Exxon or Royal Dutch Shell.
India doesn't either.
But the French and the Indians do have superb engineers.
Assuming that the collapse of the global financial system doesn't derail the launch of this car, India and France will have vehicles that are completely independent of the oil companies.
No toxic fuel, no toxic emissions, super low cost, utter reliability, and here's the really cool part: the "fuel" could be available anywhere there is room for an air compressor including your own home.
What's not to like about this? Why is the news of this technology all but banned in the US?
The banking system and the oil industry (and news media industry) are closely intertwined.
It's really that simple.



A car that runs 200 miles on compressed air.

What's not to like about this?

1) You waste allot of energy compressing air. Energy that has to be produced somewhere, so it's not emissions free... Frankly, it's not even energy efficient.

2) Moisture will kill it. It will suck in cold climates, if it works at all.

3) You are driving with a HIGHLY compressed air tank.

4) I seriously question a real world, 200 mile range.

5) It looks like giant orange suppository.

Because no one else is foolish enough to invest money in it?

Yeah, it is a really bad idea. With the recent advancements in Solar panel technology cheap energy might be here for real soon, but driving around with a compressed air tank is a disaster waiting to happen.

God is always good!

They are pushing perpetual motion because they made an air compressor that runs on compressed air? That's definitely not the way to attract investors.

The second ad mentions a 200 KM range, not a 200 mile range. 200 KM is about 124 miles.

But I don't think using compressed air tanks it's a disaster waiting to happen. I thought compressed natural gas cars were a potential major disaster and if those are okay, compressed air should be less of a concern.

If the French made it, it's not worth a crap.

You know, this might work better with a motorcycle than a car.

Provided, of course, you don't get it wrapped around a tree.

Š07;AirŠ07;-Powered Car Coming to U.S. in 2009 to 2010 at Sub- $18,000, Could Hit 1000-Mile Range

The CityCAT, already being developed in India (bottom left), will be available for U.S. production in three different four-door styles. But it's the radical dual-energy engine, with a possible 1000-mile range at 96 mph, that could move the Š07;AirŠ07; Car beyond Auto X Prize dreams and into American garages.

The Š07;AirŠ07; Car caused a huge stir when we reported last year that Tata Motors would begin producing it in India. Now the little gas-free ride that could is headed Stateside in a big-time way.

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Š07;AirŠ07;_Powered_Š07;CarsŠ07;_to_Hit_US_by_2010';
Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) confirmed to PopularMechanics.com on Thursday that it expects to produce the world’s first Š07;airŠ07;-powered car for the United States by late 2009 or early 2010. As the U.S. licensee for Luxembourg-based MDI, which developed the Š07;AirŠ07; Car as a compression-based alternative to the internal combustion engine, ZPM has attained rights to build the first of several modular plants, which are likely to begin manufacturing in the Northeast and grow for regional production around the country, at a clip of up to 10,000 Š07;AirŠ07; Š07;CarsŠ07; per year.

And while ZPM is also licensed to build MDI’s two-seater OneCAT economy model (the one headed for India) and three-seat MiniCAT (like a SmartForTwo without the gas), the New Paltz, N.Y., startup is aiming bigger: Company officials want to make the first Š07;airŠ07;-powered car to hit U.S. roads a $17,800, 75-hp equivalent, six-seat modified version of MDI’s CityCAT (pictured above) that, thanks to an even more radical engine, is said to travel as far as 1000 miles at up to 96 mph with each tiny fill-up.

We’ll believe that when we drive it, but MDI’s new dual-energy engine—currently being installed in models at MDI facilities overseas—is still pretty damn cool in concept. After using compressed Š07;airŠ07; fed from the same Airbus-built tanks in earlier models to run its pistons, the next-gen Š07;AirŠ07; Car has a supplemental energy source to kick in north of 35 mph, ZPM says. A custom heating chamber heats the Š07;airŠ07; in a process officials refused to elaborate upon, though they insisted it would increase volume and thus the car’s range and speed.

“I want to stress that these are estimates, and that we’ll know soon more precisely from our engineers,” ZPM spokesman Kevin Haydon told PM, “but a vehicle with one tank of Š07;airŠ07; and, say, 8 gal. of either conventional petrol, ethanol or biofuel could hit between 800 and 1000 miles.”

Those figures would make the Š07;AirŠ07; Car, along with Aptera’s Typ-1 and Tesla’s Roadster, a favorite among early entrants for the Automotive X Prize, for which MDI and ZPM have already signed up. But with the family-size, four-door CityCAT undergoing standard safety tests in Europe, then side-impact tests once it arrives in the States, could it be the first 100- mpg, nonelectric car you can actually buy?
