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 government does not even exist just the corporations;we have puppets not the government
This is a wonderful car to combine with compressed air generation at home using nanosolar panels, at home.

Coincidence?
Dr. Mercola? Any world??
Click on 'air car' in the first paragraph. It is the website for the air car. Great information.
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).
why is it, that the govt's of the world, will NOT let us utilize the inventions made to help SAVE our world ?
