Will You Buy a Car That Runs on Air?

Air CarOne day, in the near future, we'll have the opportunity to make driving safer for our health and environment with options like the pollution-free Air Car, being readied for market by Spain-based Moteur Developpement Int.

Based on proven technology used on the Space Shuttle, the Air Car runs on Compressed Air Technology, a pollution-free engine that burns compressed air stored in tanks made of carbon fiber. The only emission: Cold air that's used to run the car's onboard air conditioner.

The vehicle is built for city driving, as it gets about 100 miles per tankful. Why oil and gas companies are probably very worried about this latest innovation: The average cost of a fill-up is about $3.

"Why oil and gas companies are probably very worried about this latest innovation: The average cost of a fill-up is about $3."

ALAN: It scares me when giant companies, what with the power they have over the American government, get "very worried about this latest innovation..."  Can anyone tell where the government ends and these companies begin? If the average cost of a fill up [for 100 miles of driving] is about $3 that will mean the government will not be collecting billions of dollars of gasoline tax. The money to pay millions of dollars for thousands of dollars worth of roads has to come from somewhere and that somewhere is always the average tax payer. I hope India and Spain can make this happen.

The idea of an air car is more than 100 years old.

Presumably we still believe that the world is about to run out of oil.

Thats a lie the oil barons like to use to control the price of oil, and thereby control the world economy.

The second lie is the Earth is getting hotter.

We are actually on the brink of another ice age, global warming is a myth.

What is not a myth is the amount of toxic chemicals the pieces of junk we call cars, buses airplanes etc are emitting.

This toxic nightmare will continue to poison us for many generations to come.

Wake up people, stop believing the garbage propaganda you are being fed, and look for facts.

Here is one for free.

The air car was in production nearly 100 years age and was crushed by the greedy oil barons.

Three different manufactures were put out of business by questionable means, as were many other green inventions.

Don't think for a minute that you can have a car that does not run on oil.

The oil barons will simply not allow it.

I saw tha car, 5 years ago in a red color, at that time French made, in 3 versions, city car,  pick up and taxi, in Montegrotto-Italy, perfectly running with the same specifications detailed in the present article. No engine, which is really stunning. It was on show at a Congress held by NEXUS Magazine-Italy. The French Co. tried to set up a plant near Rome, but somehow (threatned?) they gave up and it was impossible to get any further news. Great, it's gone on production then, in Spain. As I was saying some time ago, Italy with funtapolitics and much more is being left behind. Never mind, sooner or later we'll wake up!! Have many good and wonderful days ahead on...compressed air.(by the way, Nexus Mag. is a bimonthly publication, in many languages, originated in Australia, www.nexusmagazine.com is the web adress-visit it if you like to be stunned).

The link to " Air Car runs on Compressed Air Technology " on The Science Channel website is already down...

Coincidence?

Dr. Mercola? Any world??

This is a wonderful car to combine with compressed air generation at home using nanosolar panels, at home.
