@GaryVonGary Why would anyone want to buy a hideously inefficient short range CON?
-
One thing the interviewer didn't ask, and that is if any major oil company offered to buy out MDI for a substantial amount of money. I'm going to guess that they have but nobody will ever hear of that.

@accuracyRO Find a VERY light small car, Goggle GAST air motor they have 6hp motors or get one on Ebay, 20 dive tanks, one regulator, a bit of plumbing, some machining and you're off just like the air car. 5 mile range 20 mph top speed on the absolute flat. So as you can see anyone can do it.
Now why they would want to.
No idea.

Just sell me the engine. I'll adapt it to my car.

@daswada9 Really so you get your 3500psi dive tanks filled for free! This piece of crap with its actual range 7km has the equivalent volume of 12 dive tanks. May I watch when you ask the dive shop owner to fill it for free? I'm interested to see how far you travel when you get thrown out of the shop.

@lumsdot even its just 70km you just need Compressed air that is free !!!

@DeanMartin64 you looking at future car buddy! can you make something better? well try you ford pickup truk
I was optimistic at first but as I followed for YEARS I don't see a product ready. So far I just see some light weight fiberglass frame on bicycle tires. How disappointing !

i am not sure 200km range is really achievable with such a small tank,compressed air cars are renowned for having a short range.
