$10,000 Car - AirPod - That Runs On Air

An amazing affordable auto that runs on air!

AIRPod is the culmination of MDI studies on pollution and urban mobility.
This concept will be the first to leave the production line in spring 2009. MDI will respond to an invitation to tender of the city of Paris, "Autolib'", and is already the subject of applications for various municipalities.

With small size, a tiny price, zero pollution, fun and futuristic design, AIRPod mark a turning point in the range of urban vehicles while renewing the idea of the automobile and transportation. You can drive with a joystick, it only costs one euro per 200 km and leaves no one indifferent in crept in traffic.

It is a real breath of fresh air in our cities and the prelude to travel without pollution. Its small size make it easy to park, keeping still a large internal volume. AIRPod help us to forget the price of petrol.

AIRPod is part of the MDI production licence of "less than 500kg vehicles", and is manufactured in the same factories as OneFlowAir, following the original production concept proposed by MDI.

AIRPod
The standard version is designed for the transport of persons. It has four seats (3 adults and one child) and has space for luggage. It is dedicated to multiple uses as in the private and public sectors. Airports, train stations and municipalities also need a cheap, non-polluting car with high mobility.

This wehicle is changing our urban life in the city center in freeing ourselves of the prohibitive cost of petrol and offering us mobility never gained until today.

AIRPod Cargo
This carriage version with a single place has a load volume greater than one meter cube that makes deliveries easy in town. Designed for runners, messaging, and the artisans and communities, Cargo AIRPod brings Zero Pollution in institutions. The Post, factory handling and delivery are markets of choice for AIRPod Cargo.

AIRPod Baby
Two front seats and a chest of more than 500 liters, all for less than 1,80m long, it's the most extreme, a real challenge for car design. This model was created keeping in mind the most congested cities by traffic. It is a versatile which can also be used for deliveries, municipal services, roads and small logistics.

@ 701983 Modern cars use supercapacitors and LION/LIPO batteries, only idiots like you use lead acid batteries that weigh 60 pounds a pop. The reason air cars were abandoned in the 20's was they didnt have titanium airblades and carbon fiber. And between polluting at both places were energy is created and consumed, at least its 50% better to pick the least of 2 evils which is pollute only at the energy plant and not at the city as well. So get your banana and back to your tree!

@crazywaterz Nice, and very knowledgeable...one of the better comments here with "facts".... Thanks!

[cjv90]

how did you compress that air?... I used a compressor from my house... how did you run that compressor? I plugged it into the a power outlet... where did that energy come from? that energy came from a power plant ran by coal or natural gas... thus you are still indirectly running your car on fossil fuels but you are doing it in an extremely inefficient manner because every different medium that you use to convert that energy has losses associated with it so you my friend are the real polluter.

how many times have people proven that three wheeled cars are just gonna fail...? what makes this one different???

[splashdown50]

how hot does it get inside that greenhouse?

@jeffsandychelsea what about the pollution of the lion/lipo batteries. and cost. i love the idea, but still its rather limited. would eb nice ifsolar cells were small enough to power a vehicle.

[jeffsandychelsea]

@cjv90 I'm seriously tired of this shitty argument, so I'm going to shoot it down in flames AGAIN. Gasoline pollutes BOTH at extraction/refining, AND consumption. Not to mention that gasoline requires, guess what, big ass trucks to take it to a gas station. Electricity usually pollutes at production, but DOES NOT pollute at consumption, AND it has the FLEXIBILITY to come from non-polluting sources. Electric motors are also extremely efficient. THERE. Now you have NO excuse to spewing that shit.

looked awesome but i still haven't seen one on the road. most of these idea simply take to long to get out the door and go bankrupt.

@cjv90 I take it that you never did watch the video.

Hey! I've got something! They should make a car that runs on bad ideas!

[701983]

Okay, I guessed right. I´m not sure, if Ku:rin really is an eye-opener. MDI may say: Ku:rin has got just a very small air tank, not like our vehicles.

Anyway, "money back" will not happen. I am sure, very good lawyers are working for MDI. Or else Guy Negre would be in jail or the company would not still exist at least.

Probably, he will still promise his vehicles for sale "the next year" in the year 2020.

There will always be enough naive people with to much money.

[Topazman12]

@701983 At least Ku Rin allowed the public to know about the range and lack of potential to be a ful fledge car. While MDI says,' ..gimme gimme more money...and I promise to put car by next year.' Now investors of MDI should ask for their money back.
