Air Car Compressed Air Vehicle by Guy Negre - CNN Glen Beck

[Itsmeeman1]

The French Compressed Air car can travel upto 110kph (about 65mpg) for upto 200km (120miles give or take) and takes 3 minutes to refuel with an air compressor. Zero emissions and zero fuel tax. Sounds good? Yeah, until the French fucker suddenly decided to make a hybrid with a petrol engine in as well! What a fucking sell-out!!!

[GJ3200]

well they better make a big suv, trucks, and minivans if they want cred.

@vgyu8gf68

In the only published test a 5 mile range was achieved. There is minimal room to improve this as technology is old

google douglas self website

MDI have been promising this BS will be sold "next year" since the 1990's

google e.volution South Africa

The efficiency is five times less than an electric vehicle

google vencat 20 miles The now dropped USA distributor admitting numbers proving this ongoing con is a piece of crap.

Specific enough for you?

[fizzguts]

@vgyu8gf68 You are admitting in public you have no idea about the technology of this ongoing CON, the lack of results, the impossible claims and you are now all cry baby about it?

Now that's strange

[pcpfree]

@vgyu8gf68 Buddy, unless you are filling the air tank with your own breath, which is very unlikely, you will need energy for the pump to compress the air. Believe me, it is a lot of energy. either electric or combustible, It's energy spent. Didn't solve the problem. I understand that is a new possibility, but is far away from the solution.

[joakimveyron]

@vgyu8gf68 I am very much for "thinking out of the box" but this does not mean that you have to switch off your brain completely like you and this Guy Negre do, it actually means to make usage of the full mental capacity of your brain, not the opposite.

[joakimveyron]

@vgyu8gf68 Guys like you and this Guy Negre does not even make the effort (besides being completely ignorant to basic thermodynamics) to have a look at the history of technology to see whether compressed air vehicles already existed or not and why they already were complete rubbish then. It is very easy to learn from history if you want. Then you are at least freed from making the same mistakes twice. But please go ahead and waste your little money on air cars, hahahaha.

[joakimveyron]

@vgyu8gf68 No, they don't. That's why investors who were gullible and stupid enough to invest (or better waste money) on this stupidity, must be very stupid as they are kept being told for already 10 years that the breakthrough will be happening just at the end of this year, no this year, or this year, next year for sure. No, wait another year, then!!! We are sure we will be selling licences next year ... er, next year, hahahaha.

[joakimveyron]

@vgyu8gf68 Well, whatever. Who cares. What's for sure is that you can print in golden letter what I said about the compressed air stupidity, because it is the truth and what you said does not even makes sense from a logic point of view.

[joakimveyron]

@vgyu8gf68 Yep, intelligence is always seen as arrogance in the eyes of a stupid Billy Bob like you.

[joakimveyron]

@vgyu8gf68 Hahah, superior in terms of what??? Energy efficiency?? Nope, by fra not. Energy-weight-ratio or energy-volume-ratio. Nope. By far not. To drive a car by compressed air is possible, of course, but it is complete nonsense from an energy, engineering, ecological, economic, practical and whatever point of view. It is complete rubbish!

Do some research before talking to experts like me, son.

[pcpfree]

Have you ever heard about yhe first law of thermodinamics?

"Energy can be transformed (changed from one form to another), but it can neither be created nor destroyed." There's no magic. Energy must be consume to generate movement. If it is by turning compressed air into movement, you need to tell how you compressed the air in the first place. you spent "a lot" of energy to compress the air. I'm not saying this is trash. but c'mon, people. 2+2 will always be 4. The car doesn't run WITHOUT gas.

[tuneinat]

what, you work for gm or an oil conglomerate? you know all about thermodynamics but don't know that you can take a crap & run a car on the result. perhaps you might take a look at some alt. stocks before becoming the next dinosaur. an mit graduate like yourself could easily come up with an alt. without breaking a sweet,@ the expense of corp. profits though.theres this & more, all thats been hi-jacked by those that exploit the fossil fuels. remember the first automobiles, ran on steam, go figure.

[fizzguts]

"remember the first automobiles, ran on steam, go figure"

Steam which was generated by a honking great gasoline burner sucking fuel at about 8 miles per gallon

Read and research before you post nonsense.

Air cars from MDI are a CON inefficient short range promoted by a shark but NEVER sold. That would reveal the lies

[pcpfree]

No I dont work form GM or somthing like.

[pcpfree]

@tuneinat Are you a greenpeace activist? because if you are, we stop talkin right now. I know something needs to be done. I'm just saying don't be so naive to believe the air car is going to work. The first cars really ran on steam but to generate steam what do you need? Heat from burning coal. What a smart guy we have here, Ladies ang gentlemen!!! BTW The coal to generate heat was mineral which is even worse. If you are going to respond, please do some research first! Tks.

[coazzy]

its about being open minded to new possibilities dickhole, this might be able to play a role

[shanghaikidx]

Hahahaha ... .hihihi .. why is about being open-minded??? And you want to say that I am not that because I make fun of the stupidity??? HIhihi ... you are funny. I would say this is about thinking logically for a second before embezzling investors' money and before telling everybody that they have overcome the dependence on oil. It is about doing one;s homework, at minimum. Then they could have found out that this "invention" is NOT new.

[THEROW1]

I dont understand what you mean, but I am impressed at how far this car goes without gas. I would buy it. Better than walking or riding a bike.

[joaquinveyron]

1), you actually don't know how far this car goes actually. They only claim sth. 2) Compressed air is only a carrier of energy and a bad one i.e. with a low energy to weight-ratio. Even batteries are better. 3) So it remains that you are dependent on primary energies. 4) The degree of efficiency is abysmal i.e. you need much more energy than in conventional cars as you lose lots of energy while compressing the air and nothing said about the degree of efficiency of the reverse process ...

[joaquinveyron]

... reverse process i.e. the expansion of the compressed air to move the piston of the air engine.

So, if you want to do something for reducing CO2 emissions: ride a bike, use biofuel (although this also has negative effects on the environment), drive a car that is energy efficient, but don't drive a compressed air car. And you will not want to drive one, anyhow, because it has not got any redeeming feature whatsoever.

[coazzy]

If governments made this mandatory in all new cars what would you get? a chance at maintaining relative stability of the climate, a boost to the economy with more disposable income in peoples hands) and ultimately less fatalities on the road (as more & more people drive lighter cars). I say f**k big oil & f**k ignorant petrol heads, tax the f**k out of them to subsidize air cars to the poor. Once the motor industry get behind it the technology will skyrocket. Fossil Lobbies depend on ignorance!

[shanghaikidx]

Hahaha ... how brain amputated one has to be to think that this shitty compressed air stupidity solves any energy problem??? Ah, because this shit doesn't emit CO2 when driving??? Ah, and who or what compresses the air??? Really, how brain amputated one needs to be.

And please, this shit is certainly no 'new technology' or "smart invention", but the latest rubbish from France that does not work. Please, Frenchies, do us a favor and cultivate wine!

[shanghaikidx]

It is about stupid people like you that fall for any anything what they call "green" although it only might be a cheap marketing gag. Only because the world needs green energy, this doesn't mean that everything they call "green" is green.

And certainly, please, leave the governments out of this! They are even more ignorant and stupid than you!!! If there is a green energy technologies, then it comes from private initiatives.

[williamblackfeather]

I have been following this story for a long time. I guess Mexico has a factory that will produce for France, I think.

It is not that the technology is soon to be here, it actually is here. We can be thankful for YouTube making sure it is not kept a secret.

[shanghaikidx]

hahahaha .... you are thanking Youtube????????? For that "Technology"???? This shit already has been "invented" 200 years ago, but does not and will save any energy problem, because you still will have to use energy to compress the air. Rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cardesigner5]

what is he on about "no man wud drive a smart car"

maybe not him. probably drives an escalade to make up for other shortcommings

SMALLDICK

[744682532]

I hear people talk about safety of these little cars. All I can say is there's millions of motorcycle riders out there, who have no protection at all just their helmet for their melon. Heck I ride a bicycle and I have zero protection. You just have to be more careful.

[Minuvash]

AirCar is great!!!

[shanghaikidx]

What is great about an AirCar???? HAhahahahahahah hihihihih ... think a little bit for more than a second!

[exile137]

How many people are going to use an acccent? Thanks.

[v1johnny]

Those who care about climate change you asshole.

By the way ain't have to be an Accent loser.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Why don't we write his name right: Guy Nègre? Thanks.
