Q&A on MDI.lu's AirPod with Cyril Negre 2 of 2

we have to admit that we've been spoiled for decades with the combustion engine.
i see tons of limitations in this prototype.

futuristic Trotters' Reliant Regal

I think so the wrong is the design. They must think more in the safety. The design is too tall, doesn't have a good stability with 3 wheels. If some car it this one in a intersection, this one will flip like a ball.

i drove a 3 wheels forklift and it run fine not going to flip over. safety really driving a motorcycle is.

They must have some way of heating the compressed air as it needs heat to expand.

compressing the air is what makes it hot the more it is compressed the hotter it becomes (or visa versa)...hints why turbos need intercoolers. air compressors for tools have no heating unit on them. nor is the air hot when you release it. if hot air is held compressed for too long it becomes helium-4.

When the car is running, the air is being decompressed which makes it cold. So to improve efficiency it should be heated to get increased expansion from the air. In this application a simple air heat exchanger would do. Though it probably already has one.

"if hot air is held compressed for too long it becomes helium-4."
Congratulations you have won the stupidest statement by a mouth breathing fool of all time.

they have plans for this. it will be an option to use in hybrid mode.

They have no plans for this The trial with Air France is in the someday one day state typical of MDI
The so called hybrid motor does not exist except in MDI's imagination
