  • An interesting concept, looking forward to seeing them in the UK!

  • @sbscottmonkey the actual 5 mile range 6 hour recharge time horrendous inefficiency and the complete absence of independent tests doesn't phase you? Strange.

  • now.... how do we get more power so we can have the car be a Ferrari on air!

  • Why are ecological cars always so ugly???

  • Free energy labeled 'economic terrorism' - The widespread adoption of these new, non-polluting energy and propulsion systems will effectively replace the use of oil, gas, coal, nuclear power, impacting 4.5 trillion dollars a year in world economic activity, replace the current? geo-political order with one based on decentralized abundance. (Examiner; March 21, 2009)

  • The term "air engine" disappeared from engineering textbooks after the 1930s and the second world war. Gas engines had been perfected, the oil industry was established, and gas was cheap.

    Serious interest in air cars was rekindled by the energy glitches of the 1970s. Dozens of inventors have patented designs for hybrid, closed cycle, and self-fueling air cars, as well as conversions for existing engines and designs for air cars meant to stop at air stations for refueling.

  • Armando Regusci Loves to Build Air Cars

    In my correspondence with Mr. Regusci of Uruguay, I found him a sincere person and his design very appealing. Like my torquerack engine, his invention does away with the crankshaft, replacing it with sprockets and chains and freewheeling clutches, to turn a shaft.

  • @mikehanoo33 Mr. Regusci of Uruguay has limped round neighborhood for 5 miles. Whee a hobby but so's collecting tea spoons and about as useful

  • great. thanks. i will share it on the facebook and tweeter to Royal Iran.

  • if you take the ratio from gasoline to energy to turn the turbine in the machine we know as a vehicle, it is not efficient at all, a lot less compared to compressed air; also we still need to factor how cold we need to bring natural gas in to a liquid form and how much energy to keep it in a liquidized state in both tank and the fuel station if we convert it to an alternative vehicle fuel. as we well know our addiction to coal "cheap fuel" will dominate the market for years to come

  • but an energy source and even a income generator such as solar is not recognized by most governments is being under utilized because of the energy industry lobbyists keeping solar out of the market. if we did the actual math and studies about this alternative resource the rate of investment is higher then most bonds, investments and far more stable then most of the market trading in the world. Gas is possibly good portable medium in energy usage but it is not as reliable as the sun

  • @DravenDarkshadow

    If you do the math you will realize the $40,000 investment required to run a home on solar photovoltaic has NO payback. Unless you are a long long way from mains power so the cost of running power lines is high there is no point in photovoltaics except for a nice fell good sensation.

  • @fizzguts showing figures without the area coverage for the $40k equipment/battery/converter and so fore has no math value here because for 40 grand you can either get a nice setup that also generates more then erough energy to sell back or just enough from a retail store to cover your own use

    for example an approximate self build about 13-16k already covers for your own usage, now for an additional investment of another 24k to 27k you can easily start making money from generating energy

  • @DravenDarkshadow

    To FULLY run a home on PV you need about 6KW of panels with the corresponding batteries etc $40K. Ie the run ovens stoves heating water etc. A $13K system assumes your water heating and cooking needs are from propane or some other source. I'm not arguing you can't make money selling the excess back to the grid BUT in the western world the money earned does not come near the money the same $ would earn invested in a decent safe investment such as bonds or term deposit

  • @DravenDarkshadow

    What on earth are you wittering on about? The former MDI USA distributors own figures confirm this piece of crap is FIVE TIMES LESS efficient that a pure electric vehicle Google Vencat 20 miles for figures to do calcs It's a stupid CON

  • This emits no polution but what energy creates the compressed air. Electricity generated by, probably coal, maybe natural gas, unlikely wind or solar. It still emits Fossil Fuel. An equal power small gas motor would be more efficient.

  • keep in mind that during "rush hour" in the city meaning both going to work and coming back from work, the avg speed significantly decreases as we go higher in population which means from 7MPH in London to maybe 37 MPH here in Canada

    unless we are always driving on the highway it is simply better to drive the air car within the city

  • hail to the engineers

  • Awesome! Now, hire someone to design a body style that's not ugly.  We Americans will never adopt the technology unless it looks sexy.

  • One simple word will explain why we don't have fuel efficient cars here in the US...TAXES...our government has such a chock hold on making money from or gas tax, that is why we can't have fuel efficient cars, why do you think that the GOV hasn't raised the fuel mileage requirements for the auto makers? they simply want use to spend more on our fuel!!...and if you could get a high mileage car in the US, the GOV will just find another fee to slap on ya at the DMV!

    Just the Facts!!!!

  • So you are saying you can't buy a Prius or a Tesla or a Getz or a Jazz or a Swift in the USA

    Or are you saying you want "magic" to occur so your Ram will get 1500mpg

  • @rancheroman1961 The government will get their taxes no matter what. You can see that now since Health Care has passed. Gas mileage is consumer driven. Fuels & tuning is a compromise for polution standards. Communist countries that take all peoples money,(100%) taxes still get the same fuel mileage so theres no incentive there to keep it low. FACTS light cars with small motors get better MPG. Electric cars use more energy than equal sized gas cars, (unless run on fuel cells).

  • When this car comes out in Mexico, I will go down there and buy one. I think we all should and then demand that the US allow us to drive to work and to the grocery store with them. Remember, this is an old video. The model that is being built by Tata Motors can go about 200 miles on one charge and travel at a speed of about 70 mph.

  • FACTS

    Tata aren't building any air cars. They have admitted the technology sucks (joke there)

    The speed and distance claims are moonshine and lies.

    In the ONLY published test from MDI the car went 5 miles at the speed of a fat bloke on a bicycle.

    This is old technology an has no potential for big improvements

    It is five times LESS efficient then an electric vehicle (MDI USA's own figures)

    The cars as always going to be available "next year"

  • I'll keep my diesel thanks.

  • Four thousand three hundred and fifty ONE psi. i like the addition of that last single digit. haha.

  • Great idea! I have tried for years to buy a 'dealership' from this company... I never get a reply from the company! I wonder what the bogus issue is... restated, this should be EVERYWHERE... what holds this back? Nicholas

  • "what holds this back?"

    Because the promoters are lying scamming con artists who have never demonstrated any of their claims

  • wrong as usual, what holds it back at your kinds level is either you trying to steal the ideas, or you trying to stop them as they interfere with your inferior business models. at my level, what stops them is more to do with the existence of those like yourself at the lesser levels, who would ironically benefit - at the expense of the lifeforms that truly deserve to be here - by the allowance of yet more things you'd put towards making Earth hell.

  • These technologies will never come to market until Big Oil

    goes broke. Like that's possible:(

  • The prototype shown in the 2006 video is the one that MDI used to announce in 2000 that they would start selling cars in 2001. Didn't happen.

    MDI still hasn't delivered any cars. Never has.

    My guess is that they cannot achieve the performance they claim, specifically the range. The only test of range showed their car running out of air after only 7.22km (less than 5 miles).

    Got to tinyurl and put mditestresults after the home url.

  • Where the fuck did you get the idea you aren't a total asshole. You must know you are.

    Why are you age 34 here,

    /user/randomlaughlngman

    & age 24 at the fake copy account you're using at this vid?

    did the Montauk Chair blow a coil again cause you did too many brainrapes in one session?

  • "& age 24 at the fake copy account you're using at this vid?"

    Sorry I don't speak gibberish so I have no idea what you room temperature IQ is trying to convey

  • funny how fizzguts-faggot got a reply i made to a known troll into his inbox, quoting the exact words of that reply sent only to a schizo troll that made 4 fake copy accounts of mine, 2 of which were banned by yt & two it claimed to have removed itself. funny that, if fizzguts isn't the exact same troll, just like all others like him on yt + elsewhere. 4d repto parasite....

  • "it claimed to have removed itself."

    Sorry don't understand gibberish. You must take your Chlorpromazine

  • well at least you managed to reply to a comment to the account you are using to reply back from for a change. hard keeping track isn't it, when you open / use so many accounts, all to spread lies about things like the true ways the universe operates. looks like you've been at the online pharmacy references too, searching for drugs matching conditions you wish you didn't have for real.

  • Kill yourself stalker, you've already had two fakes you made of my account banned. So you keep sticking up for the other repto loons like you.

  • Tell you what. Find and post a link to an independent test that CONFIRM's MDI's claim (not just repeating MDI lies) and I'll delete all my posts

    Hello??

    Silence??

    Fuckwit

  • there's about 50 videos here showing these things working, you ahrimanic fucktard loser demonscum, and you're at all of them ignoring the video and posting shithead comments that prove fuck-all other than you're yet another loser that only knows tidbits of false mainstream 'science'. India's been running vehicles using this for years. you faggots always post shite like 'hello silence' as if your overlords informed you no truthful replies would again be forthcoming, and you believed those voices

  • Quote "India's been running vehicles using this for years"

    Nope that is a fantasy from the funny voices in your head. Nice boy about as sharp as a bowling ball.

  • yes they have, would you like me to go search for the years-old articles that say so, since you're so incapable of researching things you spend your pointless existence rubbishing on the internet.

    again, your lesser-level-existence is revealed in your persistence in deluding yourself into believing that i am a male. only those on your pathetic inferior level have that major personality issue.

    remain aware, it is your kind who have to be gone before these things can be properly released, not the

  • ..majority of those that your kind are always backchatting to online, or on talk shows. you may believe you serve 'us' in your lies, nothing could be further from the facts.

  • god how do you have the energy to write that??

  • ? how'd you mean, why - should i be flat-out or something, why if so? why why why answer me purleaze & help the galactic census out. inquiring minds want answers to that and much more besides.

  • actually i respect you for writing that because 99% of youtubers dont even have the energy to read the info on videos

  • i'm the opposite - i tend to comment on things i've known of since before the web was around, and rarely watch the videos. but yes, i do always read the info about the videos. for me lots of it is more like seeing all the good ideas (and info) actually getting some kind of publicity. video for me requires alcohol, juice, tea, and at least 1 joint & my AV setup for now can't combine that with my computer; hence few vids watched. i'd only watch visualisers-to-music anyway...for the most part

  • Quote "would you like me to go search for the years-old articles that say so,"

    No because lies from MDI saying air cars are in India don't impress me. I'd like a link to the production site of air cars in India or an independent test confirming the insane claims of MDI

    Oh!

    Nothing?

    Not happening

    Cretin

  • faggot, you quoted me & then you replied "no". so why then did you go on to add your retarded signature that always reads "oh nothing" since you clearly stated that a) you didn't want a response to the positive anyway, and b) how the fuck can anyone reply you within your own answer? you have to wait til they reply you, like i'm doing here, you stupid tarded fuckup.

  • So you admit you lied by saying that air cars are made in India. Good. Now that wasn't so hard was it.

    You just need to admit now you are a semi literate window licker.

    The truth will set you free.

  • no faggot, learn to read. that's a truth - doesn't look like it set you free though did it - maybe because you're an inferior repto4Djewscum. cause you just failed to manage to comprehend a simple comment yet again. plus you only call me a window licker as i pointed out you are one some time ago, to a great many of your peado-group-mind yt accounts and then some.

  • Hey hey calm down

    You admitted you lied about Air cars being made in India

    You now admit you lied about there being an independent test confirming MDI's farcial claims

    No need to repeat yourself it just keeps proving you live in your own wee padded cell at the institute for the terminally confused

  • peado jewbag faggot fizzguts - when you say 'you admitted' you refer not to anything i wrote here or anywhere else, but only to words your inferior sick mind likes to pretend are in any of my comments here. India does have those cars for ages, i said that originally and i never went back on it. ditto to all else i stated here. you go around YT dissing all vids about pneumatic propulsion because you're jealous of the uploaders & inventors & designers of them.

  • how did your guts get all fizzed to begin with? did you give yourself an enema, or were you at the recieiving end (either end - mouth, anus) of an air-pressure hose, and that's the real reason you have such grudges against anything involving them. well faggot? oh what's that, i'm allowed to borrow your delusions and pretend you answered in the affirmative? ok then, both the above.

  • i before e except after c

    Proves you neo nazi's are all uniformly dumb Bwahahaha!

    (There's a joke there boy!

    Nice lad, about as sharp as a bowling ball)

    I keep saying you should stop raving on about how you were wrong about there being air cars in India. It's getting tiresome, enough OK. Everybody knows there are no aircars in India Stop going on about it!

  • you know i'm not a boy; that's your multiple-you-tube MPD demon-infested 'legion' inferior-genes talking again - same way you fantasise i'm a blonde boy in all your other pervert child-molester accounts.

    India had vimanas aeons ago, air-cars are very backward for them - the point being, your kind haven't even evolved to comprehending aircars yet, nevermind way more advanced tech. i see your still gargling with your own feces and then splurging it into YT comments.

  • Neo-Nazi Scum

  • i'm not a neo-nazi, you loser jewscum4d-parasite fallen-demon peado-cult member. i'm just honest about what you scum are, and the truth that if you were wiped out when you should have been then there'd be nothing wrong now.

  • You're as insane as that cunt fizzguts cause you're both in the same groupminded repto cult anyway. You 'both' have the same no-soul.

  • Comment removed

  • Quote 'could it reuse its own exuast (air)

    somehow meaning you would never have to put more air in?"

    You need to talk to someone you trust with a good science or engineering background. They will explain hopefully politely just how mind numbingly stupid that suggestion was. I'm old and grumpy and would just call you a brain dead nit wit

    Opps sorry about that

  • so your saying ideas are bad,

    meaning that inventions are stupid

    and enginering is pointless thanks for bringing us back to the cave man years.

    fuck off

  • I'm saying one idea (yours) is so monumentally stupid the whole world is laughing. Yes inventions can be stupid, patent libraries are full of stupid patents amongst the valuable ones.

    Engineering is wonderful and is laughing hysterically at your mince idea.

    Hint Study conservation of energy, Laws of thermodynamics, Carnot cycle, Stirling engines

    Or take my advice and talk to some one you know and trust with an engineering degree.

    They may be polite, I'm not.

    Tough

  • Shut it you They Live zombie repto spaz.

  • Hes saying your just too stupid to think about this...

  • Don't listen to him, he's a twat - your idea is on sound principals. It'd be a closed-system but would need topping up sometimes. Sometimes his kind are trying to steal others ideas or want to be first to develop something, so that's why they talk shit about what's possible. Check my 'friends' for a similar water-wheel design someone came up with. The same is possible with gears also.

  • "It'd be a closed-system but would need topping up sometimes"

    What once every 2 miles or once every 500 Miles BWAHAHAHA!

    Another perpetual motion loony crawls out ot the swamp

  • Go fuck yourself peado. You know you're a repto and you know fuck-all about physics. You go crawl back to the festering hole you crawled out of scum. Perpetual motion is real, you're just too stupid to figure out how it works.

  • Oh dear someone who believes V was real. Sorry just checked your profile I didn't realise you are completely unhinged.

    Ignoring my challenge still? Bwahahaha

  • TV has fuck-all to do with the truth about what you are, freak. I don't have anything on my profile, all my faves and subs are sound and scum like you would do well to learn the facts contained within the factual of them. But you won't be able to do that.

  • no! cant be bothered explaing soz

  • I dont thats a good idea

  • For the dim wits slamming the United States; This invention is FRENCH. It's from FRANCE... It's not the United States. It's a country in EUROPE. Europe is across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States... Check a globe... if you even know where the US or Europe are located on it...

    P.S. apparently this FRENCH inventor has worked out problems with the technology. Also, it could easily be more efficient than a gasoline vehicle. That's 22% efficient if you're lucky... Not a very high standard.

  • Before complaining about emissions of this car, consider that Oil must be 1) drilled 2) transported to refinery 3) refined 4) transported again to the gas station. Each of these stages burn lots of energy.

    This car? A mix of Nuclear, Wind, Solar, Coal, etc. can provide power to the air compressor. Some of these things are transported efficiently once by train. Power plants are at least 2X the best efficiency of an engine. Electricity isn't transported on tankers, trains or trucks either.

  • We all know it's French

    Not every one knows it's a scam because they don't care to THINK or READ. It's gone 7.2km at bicycling speed. For the last 15 years they have been promising production "next year" They have taken well over $13million from suckers and have NEVER had a car independently tested. The performance and efficiency claims are LIES and have NEVER been demonstrated

    But hey invest, go for it. A fool and his money.

  • Comment removed

  • All internal combustion is is burning fuel that makes gas, which is used to move the engine parts which then turns the wheels so DUH you can use any form of compressed gas to turn the same mechanisms.

  • "so DUH you can use any form of compressed gas to turn the same mechanism"

    Yes stupid we all know it can crawl round a parking lot, the PROBLEM is the range is about 5 miles and that is NOT able to be fixed. It's a called physics. You know the bit you slept through at school?

    Tell you what. Find and post a link to an independent test that CONFIRM's MDI's claim (not just repeating MDI lies) and I'll delete all my posts

    Hello??

    Silence??

    Fuckwit

  • I'll just report you cunt and have your account deleted cause like all repto scum you think you can go around being abusive to people that tell the truth. Kill yourself and get the fuck off this planet faggot.

  • man i fucking hate youtube comments

    cool tech btw, should use this tech at fun spot

    they'd save soo much

  • Yeah, it must look life "cool take" in the eye of an American like you, but this car is pure stupidity (just like the USA).

    Please explain, just for the fun, why do you think that "they'd save soo much"???

  • Funspot has racing carts on wood/steel tracks.

    If they could just "recharge" the engines, they would save money due to higher fuel prices.

    Fun for the family and environment.

    =/ why so serious?

  • OMG, another stupid Billy Bob. Why do all stupid people come from the USA?? .... what makes you think that you solve any energy problem or allow us to get rid of our dependency on fossil fuels or other energy forms??? Where do you think you get the energy from to create enough pressure??? Do you know how much energy is dissipated as heat when compressing air??? And your stupid "invention" is not even new. So, no need to blame your incompetence on "evil, evil" oil companies. You are rubbish!

  • "If they could just "recharge" the engines," ... yeah, but they cannot just do it, they compressors that need more energy after all than you burn in an internal combustion engine.

    "Fun for the family and environment." ... complete rubbish, unless you think it is fun to emit more CO2 to the environment.

  • There is more than one way to power a machine.

    This tech will improve.

  • Come on, boy, continue to smoke your weed. What is rubbish remains rubbish. If a concept is principally rubbish, then no positive outcome will come out of any technological improvements whatsoever. It is really a drawback of democracy that brain-amputated people like you are allowed to vote.

  • Systemhendrix: "haha what the hell does politics have anything to do with compressed air powered technology?

    Marijuana and brain surgery are also irrelevant, old man. For your info, we're a Republic.

    Unless you have intelligent to say, other than pointless internet insults, don't reply.

    You'll be doing a favor for everyone, apparently. "

    You are giving a real bad name to Jimi Hendrix if you are referring to him with your name!

  • really, Billy Bob, marijuana and brain surgery is relevant if this is what made you dumb and stupid. If I were American, I rather would shut up, after the numerous incidents where you gave proof of lies, incompetence, and stupidity.

    You are a Republic?? Yeah, that's the point: to allow stupid and incompetent people like you to vote that's really why USA is what USA is today.

  • prick

  • "shanghaikidx" - living proof a one cell life form should not be let near a computer

  • It's to bad they have to build Air Stations. IF the car was BREATHABLE, it wouldn't be 3$ for 90 miles. It would be for free!

    Maybe that's the next step.

  • thanks for sharing!

  • 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!

  • Thanks for taking gibberish, it's appreciated.

  • What is gibberish? -->

  • Quote "What is gibberish?"

    What Hansolo60 wrote, it made zero sense

  • i heard that mdi cars could reach up to 62ph or 100kph on just air, seen it on another video, dono if this is true or not??

  • take a closer look, it's center drive :)

  • how come the car in the video is right hand drive if its a french company? the UK, japan and australia must be the target markets!

  • oh, please don't call this science. This stupidity must be an annoying offense to anyone with a little bit more than average intelligence. How, on fucking earth can one think that this shit leaves less CO2 in the air than any conventional car???

  • do you mean OFFENCE? theres no "s" in the word, if you have difficulty spelling how can you pontificate on scientific progress?

  • Well, perhaps the word 'offense' does not exist in your monkey island [England], but well does it exist in AE. Hihihihi ... but it worth a try. I am pretty sure that you can impress your hooligan friends with such a "masterpiece" of intelligence, hihi.

    Thanks for the compliment, but to me, talking sense is not yet pontificating on science, but only part of my daily life. My intelligence, obviously not reachable for you, is beyond any means.

  • thank fuck for that

  • What the hell is up with the "Hihihihihihih"?

    And what king of no-life do you have to be to consider youtube a playground?

    BTW i live in England, I am not English; I also think that England is quite a stupid place, with the roads on the right side and "Protestand Christians" (I know it' spelt wrong...probably).

    One more question, do you enjoy making people feel bad? Dose it make you feel big and powerfull? And if you are a adult, then shame on you; you do know that kids use youtube?

  • I also would be happy to see you read and write in Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian or any other language in which I excel and most of British and Americans not, if you really want to play the "I am a teacher and have to correct typos"-card.

    Man, winning against people on youtube in logic, knowledge, wisdom, beauty, is easier than breathing. I have to look for another playing ground.

  • a nice addition to this design would be to capture the energy during braking, to drive the on-board compressor and partially refill the tanks during operation.

  • Who Cares!!!!!

  • These are in their early stages. Tata is not a small company and not into playing jokes on the world. This car is not for everyone! People that can't wait 4 minutes to fill up need another car, people that drive 100 miles each way each day will have to plug their car in at work to get home.

    People that love burning gasoline and leaving rubber on the road will want something else. Everyone that keeps writing this is not for you, are right. It is not for YOU. I will take one. Read about them.

  • Test result 7.2km Chance of improving this past about 20 kms zero. The Mexico deal was for 20,000 taxis in 2002 Result nothing.

    Google e.volution South Africa same car, same claims, shown at Oct 2000 motor show to be built in South Africa in 2001 result nothing.

    A fool and his money

  • These will be made in Mexico in a few months to be sent to France. American rules would make this car to heavy to be practical.

    However if it was made like the old Trihawk then these rules will no longer apply due to it being designated as a motorcycle.

    I see that alot of people actually do not believe what they are seeing but it is true.

  • "I see that alot of people actually do not believe what they are seeing but it is true" I believe what I am seeing a car being driven round a parking lot at slow speed. This does not impress me. Why does it impress you?

    The actual is 7.2km at 30kph. The claims are fairy tales.

  • great stuff ; a clean car for both of my daughters?

  • needs a nuvinci cvt

  • all you posters are pretty stupid and ignorant

  • "this type of vehicle is already sold in India and it short before production in Australia as well, its excellent because its WAY cheaper then conventional card , no need for annoying emission checks and finally you can steal electricity for the compressor like everywhere, not to mention the free tire stations ; )

  • "this type of vehicle is already sold in India and it short before production in Australia as well, its excellent because its WAY cheaper then conventional card , no need for annoying emission checks and finally you can steal electricity for the compressor like everywhere, not to mention the free tire stations ; )" Complete lies. No cars are being sold and none will be as it's a con. You need a 4000psi compressor to fill the tanks for a miserable 5 mile range at 25mph.

  • they have been ordered to be used as taxis in mexico, they run at up to 60 mph for a distance of 120 miles. the problem is the electricity used to compress the air is significant and just moves emissions to the power station. also it takes like four hours to fill the 300 litre tanks unkless you have a high powered air hose it can be done in 3 minutes

  • actually these specifics are for the e volution air car, different one but same principles

  • Quote "they have been ordered to be used as taxis in mexico, they run at up to 60 mph for a distance of 120 miles"

    No that's the claim which has never been demonstrated. If you ring the "promoters" they won't even discuss how far they have been tested to.

  • even when the car comes out, the goverment will find a way of fucking taxing it

  • ho cares what the goverment is taxing?The goverment is an illusion.

  • can you build your own air car if you took the rotary from a 5000 Ft-Lb Air Impact Wrench?

  • - @ dinewalton -

    I suppose you could - but I don't think the tool is efficient enough for that particular application. All of the components would have to be lightweight to maximize distance.

  • this is incredible, i hope they start selling these in north america

  • this is a bit outdated, this type of vehicle is already sold in India and it short before production in Australia as well, its excellent because its WAY cheaper then conventional card , no need for annoying emission checks and finally you can steal electricity for the compressor like everywhere, not to mention the free tire stations ; )

  • A/C is nice, but what about heat? By using compressed air, there are no gas explosions in the engine, driving the pistons, generating the heat. I live in Wisconsin, and heat is required. Anyone know if they're incorporating some type of heating system into these?

  • ya it's called a space heater and it plugs into the lighter socket :P You could make it for $30 or i could make one and charge you $300

  • would,nt a turbho cargher sending air back the

    engine incrase tank life.

  • can u imagine what a hurricane would do to this type of car? God forbid one gets in a car wreck with this vehicle.

  • I haven't driven into a hurricane lately.

    And god forbid any car should get hit by a hummer.

  • What does god have to do with this?

    If god had anything to do with anything, he would not have made a plant that has hurricanes, torandos, floods, volcanic erruptions,,,, well you get the idea.

    I believe god supposdely did create this planet... correct?

  • why didnt they use a tesla turbine with the compressed air, it would be a simpler motor and extremely powerful and efficient

  • Holy Toledo! I hope they get these on the roads pronto: it sounds just like my old air compressor though. :(

    Would the low revs cause the noise?

  • this made for china made vehicle.......

  • China has too much pollution for this car to use its air LOL

  • why is this car not in U.K. :~)

  • because it evade fuel duty

  • I hate laws like that. It's ridiculous. At least have a seperate tax for these, like, maybe a flat tax on the purchase?

    or maybe they should be allowed to operate without paying the fuel duty. perhaps an incentive for decreasing dependency on forien oil and halping the invironment, whether you believe in global warming or not.

  • Gah! I mis-spelled foreign... and "helping"... and "environment"...

    I type like a drunk monkey. My apologies.

  • what about something like a motorcycle or scooter?? anybody heard??

  • can I vote this guy for president??

    :)

  • that's the ugliest car i've ever seen. besides the honda element, of course.

  • Yay France.

  • This idea seems like very good thinking to me.

  • If it looked like LOREMO then I think it would sell!

  • whats happend to the MDI aircar website they used to have?! :S its changed... ??

  • The United States is going to have to build at least 50 Nuclear Reactors to use this technology. Meanwhile we keep building coal fired power plants. Write your congressmen and leaders today. We need Nukes.

  • you don't know what your talking about. No nuclear plant has ever made a profit without government subsidies. and then we have to despose of the waste and guard it from terrorist. If we are going to put taxpayer money into energy lets go green.

  • No you are wrong. Nuclear energy is green. You have been brainwashed. There are new ways for disposal of nuclear waste including recycling most of it. The Navy has had about 50 reactors running consistanly for 60 years now. No accidents. No spills. If you think coal is green your an idiot. Solar can't produce enough and neither can wind. So unless you want to go back to the dark ages your going to have to accept Nukes.

  • NO its not after a period the radiation cause hydrogen embrittlement of the metals and its useless. you might get 100 years from a reacotr and then it has to sit their and be sealed. If you used solar and wid to make compressed air for the car being viewed here,you could also use it to run electric turbine during peak period. Some plants do this now to make better use of the off peak power. THERE ARE BATTERIES YOU CAN MAKE AS BIG AS A SWIMMING POOL TO DO THE SAME,IT WAS INVENTED 21 YEARS AGO.

  • You can't get enough energy from solar or wind. We are going to have to build Nukes to supply our future engergy needs. There is no other alternative. We will be out of Oil in another 40 years. Your mis informed about metals. Also Batteries are not GREEN. Battaries are just as bad as Nuclear waste.

  • I know thats wrong, hemp can produce 10 times the methanol of corn. in austrlia and bottom half of the usa if everyone had solar water then stip 10-20% off what you need now. IN EUROPE HEAT PUMPS are the go, use heat in the groundall year to make hot water and heat and cool your house, you can do the same in the USA. In many plastics and food industry heat pumps would reduce energy cost by 40%. The world is dumb, the solutions are there, there is no will to do things

  • Batteries are just as bad as nuclear waste? Are you trying to say that batteries are dangerous to human health for up to half a million years? If we continue to build new reactors around the world we will eventually have a bigger problem than what we are facing now... If you think there are no other alternatives then it is YOU that is missinformed. Places like Whole Foods (grocery store) have been powering their stores 100% from ONLY solar and wind for a while now. Be informed...

  • What kind of idiot are you. Half a million years? Where did you pull that lie out of? Here is a fact. 80% of all nuclear waste has a half life of less than 20 seconds! Oh but your such an idiot you can't live with the truth.

  • Hmmm, name calling. I guess you'd have to resort to that since you don't know what you are talking about. I'm talking about the Uranium that comes from nuclear power. While yes, it is much weaker, it's still radioactive and remains so for the about the time I stated. By the way, why do you have to attack people like that? Are you THAT insecure?

  • The Uranium is not a large problen. The amount of Uranium used could fit in a shoe box. There is no problem storing it. It is the lower level by products that get contaminated. Everything from wrenches to pipe. Contaminated water has to be stored but it's half life is no way near what you seem to think it is. As for name calling. If your a liar then your a liar. If your so insecure as to get all upset over people pointing out the truth. Go crawl back under your rock.

  • You must be a child Seadregs. Either that or you are just very ignorant (or both).

  • Your just telling lies now. I did a search on Whole Foods. They have a store in Brentwood that runs at 24%. NOT 100%. The refrigeration could never run on solar. 4 million people without electicity today. Ge used to in crazy boy. By 2050 we won't have any electicity unless we use Nukes. PERIOD. Where did you come up with 1/2 a million years??? More lies you pulled out your behind??

  • nuclear is not green and batteries are horrible if you dont think their that bad go get some from a land fill and eat some of the acid polluting the earth and no plants are needed to get compressed air it can be made at your house or at better more efficent place like an OUTDATED,UNNEEDED,DEADLY NUKE PLANT and oil companies can become wind power companies and we and focuse on hydro power and solar but people like you prevent that

  • Dream on. You will be living in a tree by the 2050. Nukes are Green. Ask any scientist who believes in Global Warming!

  • i dont trust you let alone a scientist

  • We need car like this but I don't think those oil giants will let this things go into the market, they are going to assassinate those scientists, destroy their labs or take over their companies ... etc, they do that all the time.

  • Yes, the third is the most likely danger. Or they just make the competition implausible. That's all it takes. So far MDI has been very shy and moved with small steps. That is probably exactly because this. Still, they don't seem to be going away. They get further and further and won't disappear with mere "wonderful allegations".

  • Ah, we sit back and watch France, as well as other countries, lead the new technological path into the future. Meanwhile, we as Americans squander billions of dollars trying to police the world.

  • sure do look funny

  • i know ill buy one (even though i not even close to being able to drive) if it looked atles like a honda civic

  • I can't beleive, america is not all over C A T , we have NASA.. come on - is bush making money on all the fuel, he's pushing. With this tech. why keep pumping oil,and paying other country (we could use our own small amount of fuel)...

  • i want it!
