Air Powered Car By 2009-2010
The possibility of an air powered car on American roads by 2009 is looking more and more likely. New York startup automaker ZPM and India’s Tata motors jave both licensed technology from MDI.
MDI is planning to release air powered cars of their own in Europe starting under $15,000. ZPM is working on a 6-seater for America. It would be powered by a 75 HP air motor and enough comperssed air on board for a 1000 mile range at 96 mph. Prices should start just under $18,000.
Air cars are simply cars that run on compressed air. Air has been driving power tools for years and someone at MDI figured out that you could apply the idea to a vehicle. The cost is so low because the technology is simple and available today. Unlike an electric, plug-in hybrid, or hydrogen car that depends on the latest developments. Air cars leverage years of working with compressed air in other applications. Photo credit ZPM.
