@Sailerrman You found a thousand suckers who don't understand basic physics? Sweet. Let's see, the range is about actually 5km before you have to fill up again, so they'd have to put compressed air stations about 5kms apart. It can't actually make it up a hill so really you could only drive them in the prairies, and it's top speed is about 20-25Kmh.
How much are people willing to pay for those numbers?
@TZMIndy Well we have had 200 years to explore expansion engine left right sideways and upside down so scientists engineers etc KNOW this POC will start working as claimed on the same day it rains pink unicorns.
You of course who believe anything on youtube or TV with as much science knowledge as a goldfish think it's great
@TZMIndy I didn't prove you wrong I explained why you were wrong but as you have little scientific understanding it's over your head.
Start by examining the history of air vehicles, try The museum of Retrotech
Get you mind round the ideal gas law PV=nRT
look at the Gast air motor power and consumption figures Do some numbers and you will see just how low powered, short range and pitiful air cars are and will always be, or you can continue to believe magic will make things better
@busguy100 It actually can go much farther. It can go 90 Kilometeres I think? Thats enough for an average person to go to work, around a bit, and back home.
@JoesEpicAdventures No it does not go 90 Kilometers it only will go 5 miles, you think it will because they say so. There is no independent proof of anyone going more. So you want to drive in a death trap made with no crumple zone at all no heater no air. Notice that this video has been here since 2008 and still no car or independent tests? You have 3 kids promoting this, like they have any experience beyond what they have been told in school. Where does the power come to run the air compressor?
@busguy100 They say so because they have to say so to make profit. A company that isn't in any favor isn't going to openly lie like you think in your bizarre conspiracy. The car is made out of the SAME material as a normal car and has almost the same function. The only difference is the chassis. Youll survive just as much as any other car unless something magically explodes under your car. There have been tests just not in America and its already being put into production in a few years.
@JoesEpicAdventures they say so to get people like you to invest in a company that makes a car that goes 5 miles on a charge. The air car HAS NO CRUMPLE ZONES so when hit you die. There have been tests, well show me links to the INDEPENDENT tests
@JoesEpicAdventures I think the farthest it has gone is 5km or so. There are no independant tests that confirm their claim (lie). You guys might want to check out the News section of Catecar in Australia, another company that MDI has failed to deliver too.
I almost feel bad for the suckers who have invested in this company but if they're that stupid to spend money without investigating this scam it's their fault.

You know it's going on sale next year, always next year.
Maybe they are going to the wrong direction, they should use these engines to generate electrical power, that would be safer than exposing a 400 bar pressure vessel on the road until someone hit you...
@drvitorino As he said its carbon fiber, the worst you get is a loud noise when the air comes out no explosion. Its not like a hydrogen car thats a bomb on wheels. Its breathable air so its not dangerous at all.
when they say air car i was thinking refill as u go or something like just be drivin down the road and ud be hittin empty flip the switch and ur grill starts sucking in air and distributing into ur engine or something
@javante2010 So you think a 5 mile (only test published) range and a 6 hour recharge time with a 6kw compressor is a "good car" would you like to buy a bridge

The H.K. Porter Compound Air Locomotives ,1896-1930 - Inventor Charles B. Hodges became the first and only air car inventor in history to see his invention become a lasting commercial success . His engine was two stage and employed an interheater between the two piston stages to warm the partially expanded compressed air with the surrounding atmosphere .
2002 Participation of MDI at the Paris “Mondial de l'automobile” car show with the Minicats . « From that point on a real complot has been mounted to get us down, says the engineer. 200 legal proceedings have been launched against MDI and we have been repeatedly harassed”.

Once again thanks to the slimy oil companies these babies never made it to market , oh they have to pass are crash test , who gives a crap about crash tests , people are dying by the millions every year from petroleum related illnesses and your worried about the how well the crash dummy does in a high speed wreck ! And now they want to make them hybrids burning petrol . These people are evil !
There was a guy who invented an engine that runs on water, but the douchebag gas companies bought the rights to his invention so nobody could make it.
plus i am sure these things have been through crash tests and must have passed them, other wise they wouldn't have made it to the streets. the air tanks are also ultralight weight and probably would not blow a phone pole to smitherines
steam power requires the burning of something to get the energy, usually fossil fuels. the self refilling model should be available by now. with an electric hybrid version and a visual makeover, these things could be true beasts.
@dirtyfoxduster So you repeated complete bullshit. Your point??. This piece of crap has in the ONLY published test gone 5 miles. Whee. It's a CON to suck up money from technically illiterate investors
who cares? when you get into an accident with that go-kart the compressed air cylinder will blow your body into millions of unrecoverable pieces. i saw a jeep that had an air cylinder mounted to it's bumper crash into a telephone pole...it blew the telephone pole to smitherines...no thanks on the "air car". i'll stick with gasoline, at least if my tank gets punctured i'll have a few minutes to run away.
So is he still waiting in the carpark for his air powered car to get him home or did he end up getting a lift on the bus or in a normal fuel car, or perhaps nobody could put up with his BS so they told him to walk home alone.
is that a rule with green cars,all green cars must be UGly
,,this use to be an all air car,, until shell bribed them to install a gas engine,so now its as eco as a diesel ,so its pointless,
if some one is going to build an electric car shell says ahh sure here's 20 million dollars, dont bother building it, build a hybrid and fit a gas engine,a tdi vw does more mpg that any hybrid its all a scam,,no one will get to build a real air or electric car,,oil companies to rich,will stop anyone who tries
the dumbest video on all of youtube with no real information. Your comment on how THE EVIL OIL COMPANY IS TO RICH TO STOP! what did everything run on before gas?? The very first self-powered road vehicles were powered by steam engines and by that definition Nicolas Joseph Cugnot of France built the first automobile in 1769.
I heard they are going to put a compresor in the car aircar that runs off bio feul or gas so when the car gets low on air presure the compressor will kick in so you can run further and it take so long to refuel
Argoon1981 -- we have been giving MDI the benefit of doubt since 2000. That's when they first claimed to be going into production in 2001.
The video above claims cars going on sale in India in August 2008. Not even a prototype of those cars have been seen.
As to the quick refilling, that is by precharging a very large tank to around 5,000psi, then using the pre-compressed air to rapidly fill the tank ont he car. Same as has been done in scuba shops for years.
For your information he says it only takes 3 minutes to full the air tanks with a industrial compressor. And second we need to give the benefit of doubt to this guy. If he makes it this will help us and our planet.
The 7kw compressor MDI talk about takes 6 hours to refill the tanks. MDI's own figures. The 3 minute refill is from apreviously charged bottle bank WHICH YOU HAVE TO REFILL SOME TIME. Wake up MDI lie about recharge delivery, range, speed.
Google vencat 20 miles for another MDI train wreck. 5x more energy than an electric car for the same distance.
google rexreserch negre for the ONLY issued test report 7.2km at bicycle speed ITS A CON!
@DingoBabyEat These cars do work and you should breath a big mouthful of exhust fumes from your 75 gremlin , so we dont have to put up with your posts !
who ever made this is fag and idiot to think fossil fuels will last forever, the air car is the future, not for some fag like this guy to make a video that only him and his friends think is funny, i hope some german crushes your balls in a door and then says " Gaus Guet fucker"
@dozer888888 I dont want any Germans to touch my balls unless its a German called Claudia, with blonde hair and big tits.... but thank you for this obscure and pointless comment
ok so what powers the air compressor at the station ahhh electricity then what makes electricity ahh then what maybe if the car recompresses the air then we have somthing.
MDI and Zero emission motor should be called ZERO PRODUCTION MOTOR because, they had yet to produce a single car for the public. The air car by MDI is a SCAM.
They are out there just to scam gullible investors.
Very unlikely since MDI have never ever made any production models, in spite of repeatedly announcing almost every year since 1999 that "production will start next year".
Yeah, the air car sounds good in that we won't be using as much gas and oil, but I'll wait until the technology is better to provide a safe car that runs on air, like Mercedes or something.
Hey I thought it was great! Wow someday America will be able to create things like that! Of course they will to get by Exxon and the two goons, Haliburton and Blackwater. Maybe we are best just using gasoline until we are told otherwise. Great pick for a song, too.
Quote "MDI has been playing the greenies for the engineering-challenged children they are for over 10 years and they've made a fortune selling bogus dealerships, worthless manufacturing rights, advance payments for non-existent cars, and lots of stock with a ZERO price-to-earnings ratio(wow!). The air car will never be built because it doesn't perform."
A test series has been built they go about 10km (6 miles) at 30 kph (say 20 mph). None have EVER been offered for sale as no one who had a brain would buy one. The performance can not be improved, simple physics.
They have been promising to sell them for over 10 years...A fool and his money
ah right your one of these antu-green freaks they go 50 miles and hour and they are offerd for sale you tit thers one sitting on the drive next door!!!
Interpreting your gibberish. You claim they are on sale and there is one next door to you? Well in non gibberish and I hope you find this clear enough.
YOU ARE A LYING ARSE WIPE and probably a shill for the MDI Air car scam
and your are an arrogant pig im french you twit sorry my english ios not perfect!! evil basterd and no i am not a lieing arse wipe! they have been sold and still are! may not be in a auto show room but they are on sale!!!and who the fuck is the MDI shut up ya stupid aussie arsehole!
YOU ARE A LIAR. There is no air car in the drive next door is there. Just being a bit IMAGINATIVE? MDI you Richard Cranium is the company of Guy Negre the scum bag behind this CON. You can place deposits for a place in the "production line" but NO CARS have been delivered. Google MDI Air Car
Tata Motors is going to carry the MDI air car in India in 2009. Zero Pollution Motors will distribute them in the U.S. in 2010. According to them, the cost is estimated to be about $18000. Max speed 150 km/h, range about 1300 km. In competition for the XPrize.
Just like the MDI/Zero Pollution e.Volution car has been on sale in South Africa since 2002??? Big announcement. Not a single car delivered.
Who is selling the car in France. I would like to buy one to test, since MDI doesn't seem to have any prototypes that actually perform to specs. The only test results MDI published showed that the car ran out of air after less than 5 miles of operating at slow speed.
Apart from the ridiculous conversation I was having with this mentally challenged monkey here (peanutbutter). I would like to say that this video is quite funny and nice.
I think you are both ridiculously stupid for first off,trying to have a grammatical argument, and secondly trying to have it via YOUTUBE comments. I really hope to God you are BOTH kids because if either of you are adults you are sad, pathetic, immature, and just plain stupid.
stop wasting my time with these horrible comebacks that aren't even good all over my video, get off the computer, and get lives.
no, worries. I am doing it just for the plain curiosity in the stupidness of people. I simply cannot believe that somebody can be so stupid. Youtube really is not the place where you can have intelligent conversations. However, I am still surprised by the sheer size of stupidity here.
Why aren't you happy that your nice video (which is nice indeed) has drawn so much attention. What remains is that this "air car" is utter nonsense anyhow: To waste electricity (where you waste 60 % in the power plant in the first place) and then another 50 % on compressing air, as this amount is dissipated as heat. And then you start powering this air car. What is utter nonsense remains utter nonsense. BUt this wasn;t your point in your video, anyhow. As I said, a nice, funnyt video.
... but this is the impression you give me. Sorry, if I am mistaken, hihihihihi, but that's the impression somebody gives who talks nonsense in the first place, does not think or reflect for a second on what he is saying, and at the end is not able to scrutinize arguments given to him.
the point of my video was entertainment, not information. I wouldn't want to start some argument about what's more efficient, frankly I don't care.
and i'm not the kind of person who craves attention on his videos just because it's attention. both your comments and peanutbutterblah's are just annoying and pointless, so even if it's attention, it's pointless arguments between two angry youtube people, and I'm not so keen to have it on my page.
So, I have read all about the tech and its quite sound. It has everything i want in a car, low purchase price, low operating price, and i don't have to listen to my neighbor's crank pot speeches about that farce called global worming.
The only thin keeping me from wanting one of these new french air cars is the car is Butt Ugly.
our teacher made us do this project so we took the worst car we could find to make a video about it and pretend we're really into it and hype it up. the car is a complete piece of crap.
nice video, but this (shitty soapbox, coffin) car is neither more economic nor (which is more importantly, because the company that buiilds this car claims to "save the environment") eco-friendly, as you need much more energy to compress the air than you later get out of it. As easy as that!
... and bitteschoen, one thing: this car has nothing to do with Germany. German car makers do not build these stupid not eco-friendly soapbox-coffins.
I power my house with compressed air. My solar mill, a silo converted into a thermal updraft wind mill, make so 58 KWh per day. My home uses about 30 each day. To keep my lights on during the night without using any grid power, I use excess power from the mill to run several compressors that store air pressure in an underground vault. At night the air pressure powers generates.
But the car has zero emissions (even though, as you say, the methods to compress the air are not as efficient, it still means less polution).. and thus helps curb carbon emission into the environment, or am i missing something ?
Hahahahaha ... that is saying who? Please build cars first that do not weight as much as Jupiter and burn slightly less than three oil tankers per 100 kms.
I just found your comments on another youtube "Air Car" video, where you seem to babble on incoherently calling this car junk and what not, and not backing up your points with any facts but rather taking cheap shots at other users nationalities...
It seems to me that you're either a child who just recently got access to Internet or an old geezer who's got no life.
Also, i don't think someone who claims to be of German descent living in China, should be poking fun of Americans or the French.
If it is about cars, then I HAVE plenty of reasons why I could mock cars from the US and France. Hihihihihi ... well, I really do not waste further time on a child like you. Have fun!! Keep it reeeaaaaallll!! Hihihihihi ... and please waste your scarce money on this "air car", hihihi. Besides that, this video is quite nice.
Sorry for you, that you are either not able to read or not able to put together words to sentences, and sentences to a logic context. Read through my comments, leave out my 'sarcastic' comments, and then you will find wisdom and guidance for your life.
Hihihi ... how come that I don't believe you? Starting with the many mistakes you made in these two short sentences, for instance. Don't you learn in school the difference between plural and genitive??? Although my English might be not as good and idiomatic as the one of a native speaker, it is far better than yours (and you are supposed to be a native speaker, are not you?).
Ok, here is the translation: "hihihi" means: I think you are a ridiculous, most stupid monkey.
The mistake you made is "its your grammar skill's". Correct: "it's your grammar skills". Learn to put the apostrophe where it belongs. Man, if I were your teacher, I would be busy the whole day. Let's leave it with this short lesson. Moreover, other people could start laughing about us even more than I am laughing about you, something I would like to avoid.
And "Don't you learn in school the difference between plural and genitive???" is wrong, its "Didn't you learn in school, the difference between plural and genitive?". Learn to use the question mark correctly, comma and past and present tenses.
Furthermore, "sorry for you" is not the correct way of starting a sentence, it should say "I feel sorry for you", additionally, "sentences to a logic context" is also wrong, it should say "sentences to a logical context".
Also, "well, I really do not waste further time on a child like you" is broken-English, its "well, i really do not want to waste further time on a child like you".
With that being said, you can now go and fuck a cow, you shrimp !
I really hope for the USA that not everybody is as stupid as you. It gives me a relief to know many friends there who are bright and intelligent (and who could not stop laughing about you).
Hihihihihihihihihihih ... only shows that I offended you. Btw, I used simple tense intentionally, because I was assuming that you still go to school or at least must be going.
why on fu&%^ing earth should this fu&%^ing soapbox mean any "zero emission" or any reduction in CO2 emission at all???? Please explain me why you fu&%^ing think so????
Simply, try to increase the fuel-efficency of your truck-monstruosities you drive in the US or ride a bike once in a while!!!

who cares? when you get into an accident with that go-kart the compressed air cylinder will blow your body into millions of unrecoverable pieces. i saw a jeep that had an air cylinder mounted to it's bumper crash into a telephone pole...it blew the telephone pole to smitherines...no thanks on the "air car". i'll stick with gasoline, at least if my tank gets punctured i'll have a few minutes to run away.

if some one is going to build an electric car shell says ahh sure here's 20 million dollars, dont bother building it, build a hybrid and fit a gas engine,a tdi vw does more mpg that any hybrid its all a scam,,no one will get to build a real air or electric car,,oil companies to rich,will stop anyone who tries

Argoon1981 -- we have been giving MDI the benefit of doubt since 2000. That's when they first claimed to be going into production in 2001.
The video above claims cars going on sale in India in August 2008. Not even a prototype of those cars have been seen.
As to the quick refilling, that is by precharging a very large tank to around 5,000psi, then using the pre-compressed air to rapidly fill the tank ont he car. Same as has been done in scuba shops for years.
Charlieutube99 2 years ago
For your information he says it only takes 3 minutes to full the air tanks with a industrial compressor. And second we need to give the benefit of doubt to this guy. If he makes it this will help us and our planet.
Argoon1981 2 years ago
The 7kw compressor MDI talk about takes 6 hours to refill the tanks. MDI's own figures. The 3 minute refill is from apreviously charged bottle bank WHICH YOU HAVE TO REFILL SOME TIME. Wake up MDI lie about recharge delivery, range, speed.
Google vencat 20 miles for another MDI train wreck. 5x more energy than an electric car for the same distance.

Yeah, the air car sounds good in that we won't be using as much gas and oil, but I'll wait until the technology is better to provide a safe car that runs on air, like Mercedes or something.

Who is selling the car in France. I would like to buy one to test, since MDI doesn't seem to have any prototypes that actually perform to specs. The only test results MDI published showed that the car ran out of air after less than 5 miles of operating at slow speed.

djbprod0011 3 years ago
Why aren't you happy that your nice video (which is nice indeed) has drawn so much attention. What remains is that this "air car" is utter nonsense anyhow: To waste electricity (where you waste 60 % in the power plant in the first place) and then another 50 % on compressing air, as this amount is dissipated as heat. And then you start powering this air car. What is utter nonsense remains utter nonsense. BUt this wasn;t your point in your video, anyhow. As I said, a nice, funnyt video.

the point of my video was entertainment, not information. I wouldn't want to start some argument about what's more efficient, frankly I don't care.
and i'm not the kind of person who craves attention on his videos just because it's attention. both your comments and peanutbutterblah's are just annoying and pointless, so even if it's attention, it's pointless arguments between two angry youtube people, and I'm not so keen to have it on my page.

nice video, but this (shitty soapbox, coffin) car is neither more economic nor (which is more importantly, because the company that buiilds this car claims to "save the environment") eco-friendly, as you need much more energy to compress the air than you later get out of it. As easy as that!
... and bitteschoen, one thing: this car has nothing to do with Germany. German car makers do not build these stupid not eco-friendly soapbox-coffins.
shanghaijoachim 3 years ago
I power my house with compressed air. My solar mill, a silo converted into a thermal updraft wind mill, make so 58 KWh per day. My home uses about 30 each day. To keep my lights on during the night without using any grid power, I use excess power from the mill to run several compressors that store air pressure in an underground vault. At night the air pressure powers generates.
I'm always selling power to the P.U.D.
But yes the car is butt ugly.
db98647 3 years ago
But the car has zero emissions (even though, as you say, the methods to compress the air are not as efficient, it still means less polution).. and thus helps curb carbon emission into the environment, or am i missing something ?

peanutbutterblah 3 years ago
Hihihi ... how come that I don't believe you? Starting with the many mistakes you made in these two short sentences, for instance. Don't you learn in school the difference between plural and genitive??? Although my English might be not as good and idiomatic as the one of a native speaker, it is far better than yours (and you are supposed to be a native speaker, are not you?).

Are you on crack ?
And I haven't made any mistakes you asshole !
You simply can't read.
peanutbutterblah 3 years ago
Ok, here is the translation: "hihihi" means: I think you are a ridiculous, most stupid monkey.
The mistake you made is "its your grammar skill's". Correct: "it's your grammar skills". Learn to put the apostrophe where it belongs. Man, if I were your teacher, I would be busy the whole day. Let's leave it with this short lesson. Moreover, other people could start laughing about us even more than I am laughing about you, something I would like to avoid.
shanghaijoachim 3 years ago
"hihihi" is not a word.
And "Don't you learn in school the difference between plural and genitive???" is wrong, its "Didn't you learn in school, the difference between plural and genitive?". Learn to use the question mark correctly, comma and past and present tenses.
Furthermore, "sorry for you" is not the correct way of starting a sentence, it should say "I feel sorry for you", additionally, "sentences to a logic context" is also wrong, it should say "sentences to a logical context".
peanutbutterblah 3 years ago
Also, "well, I really do not waste further time on a child like you" is broken-English, its "well, i really do not want to waste further time on a child like you".
