Air Car (1 of 2) from France

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq8aZVLpf-c for part two.
A new type of engine to run on compress air.
Part one of two.

An update: in Feb 2007, Tata motor in India signed an agreement with MDI to use this technology. And in Mar 2008, Tata motor acquired Jaguar and LandRover. Will there be an air powered Jaguar or Landrover soon? Your guess.

Google "Tata Motor MDI" for more details.

As the air would gradually lose its compression in the tanks over km, what would be the results in performance as far as trying to increase speed when one is driving slowly but wants to suddenly wants to go faster?

[cplai]

@birillotyilly This concept reminds me of an Anime movie called "Steam Boy". It is all about how much pressure can be stored in that "steam ball" and how much soon you need to replenish it. In the movie, the energy supply seems endless. But in real life, its applications are limited. Check out part 2 of this video, using it inside a market is more realistic than using it on the road.

Gotta love how the Brits call aluminum "alUminium".....

[cplai]

@Snoep76239 Americans spell the word without the i. So it is not only a pronunciation difference. The spellings are not the same.

[Snoep76239]

@cplai I did not know they spelled it differently. Do they do that on their periodic table too?

[cplai]

@Snoep76239 Google the keywords "aluminium versus aluminum" and the two top articles are quite interesting read on how this deviation happened.

Wolfhart Willimczik is another individual who like Rogers has efficient compressed air technology and has been suppressed. Physicist and inventor Wolfhart Willimczik has created a rotary piston machine without any bearings in the power train and with only rotating pistons.Other countries are reported to be using this technology in secret according to Wolfhart.

Fuel for thought

Nobody can say that the implosion motor does not run off of any fuel. This really is a totally bogus statement for it is a known fact that the fuel source is normal breathable air and water. Using the moisture content helps pack the air molecules at the peripheral.

But let’s look at another source of potential power. For those of you who might have a copy of the Callum Coats book “The Energy Evolution” I am going to refer to page 44

Firstly, he's Australian. And it is Al-U-minium.

Its not spelled Aloominum is it? The proper way to say it is: Al-you-min-ium

@dustin741 Bar soap actually seems really reasonable I'm still disturbed by butter sticks. Just seems wrong :-)

[dustin741]

@fizzguts thanks for the info when i came up with the idea i thought i was the only one to think about it. IDK when i was young i was always thinking of new inventions like drawing a bendable trash bin that can fit between tight spots. i also remember taking a palm pilot screen protector cutting it the shape of my lenses and putting it on my glasses to stop scratches but everything was blurry, i also took a used up glue stick and shoved bar soap in it for some reason, i was a crazy kid

[fizzguts]

@dustin741 And if you'd spent 60 seconds on google you would have known this is an ancient idea and has been floated every 10 years or so since the 1890's. unfortunately because of simple physical laws it is doomed to always be a short range low power parking lot crawler. Check out the Museum of Retrotech

Part 1: believe me or not 12 years ago (when i was 11 years old) i actually came up with the concept of this idea. i remember going to a car repair shop and seeing a drill with a hose attached to it. i asked how it worked they said compressed air. i was amazed and could not stop thinking about it then said to my self "if compressed air can turn a drill it can turn a wheel" and drew up a car that had a compressed air tank and 4 motors to turn each wheel with hoses connecting to it to the tank.

[dustin741]

Part 2: i was so impressed with myself i ran to show my mother all happy and shit like any other 11 year old. and she shrugged me off like any other mother would with a kid with a crazy imagination. i forgot all about the drawing and about 5 or 6 years latter my mother came to me saying look whats on tv i fell apart, with anger and sadness to see my childhood idea to be stolen. but realized others probably thought of it before me but it proved to me that maybe my crazy ideas went all that stupid

@saeidmomtahan It's a long running con aimed at rich technical illiterates and will be available for sale next year always next year

[saeidmomtahan]

Mind blowing.

THis car could save the planet from the path of destruction that we're on, and 10 of the 12 comments on this page are about the difference in the pronunciation of friggin Aluminium.

Where is this car anyway? THis video is from 2006
