Citycataircar.com (1st Generation) Compressed Air Vehicle

Catvolution.com interviewed Cyril Negre of MDI.lu about the Citycat (1st Generation) Compressed Air Vehicle (Air Car).

Please note that I am not a professional audio-visual technician or interviewer. I am not interested in arguing the quality of the audio, video, my voice, the questions I asked or anything else unrelated to the cars.

I saw a video in their web site which stated that it fills up in about 3mins. I wonder how big of a compressor that is, do you know? it doesn't sound anything like the kind of compressor that the normal person have in their garage. mine is a 5gal and it takes about that time to fill up at about 120Psi.

can you elaborate on that?

thanks

The filling station are really air transfer stations. The compressor works to keep the station's air tanks filled to 300 bars (or more). When the car comes in to be filled, you are just transferring the air from the filling station's tanks into the car's air tanks. That takes 3 minutes, more or less the same as a regular gas fillup.

hey thanks for posting these videos :) keep em coming! im facinated by these cars and im only 18 haha

[CATvolution]

that's all the vids i was allowed to take on the trip. you have no idea what else they have up their sleeve... was pretty freaky cool.

DAMN non-disclosure agreement!! 8-(

[rich2468]

oh and how long do you think it will be befor they tell us what they have up their sleeves?!?! this is the future!

[CATvolution]

sry, i ain't getting sued lol

when they open up on it, then i can spill everything i know. heehee

[patricktecher]

on entend rien

@zaagmans1 So you want a 5 hp car with a 5 mile range? That's what an air car is after all this time and that's all it ever will be. A con for technically illiterate investers

[zaagmans1]

I have been following several initiatives for polutionfree cars, and i have to admit, this is the best car i have seen so far. I am planning to buy one, if it is allowed to drive with it in holland

Study - Physics, Math - all sciences and the more you do the more enjoyment you can get out of some of these videos - the air car - charge all day and go 3 feet - but, if you are not in a hurry!!! from a successful inventor and scientist - b

There's no such thing as free energy.

[Charlieutube99]

Research zero point energy and perpetual motion. Those go well with the air car.

Just like the air car, perpetual motion machines sound great, but never work.

The air car has limited range. MDI never lets anyone do independent tests. MDI has never delivered a single car.

But every year they make a new announcment about a new version which will be available "next year". Always 12-24 months away.

Ya know, wheels turn, turning creates electricity. If we could figure out how to charge a battery powered, lightweight car with the power produced by the 4 turning wheels (like a regular car charges a battery but more completely) couldn't we power the car by running it. I'll have to start doing some math but it seems possible. My dad did this once with a bike... I wonder.

(I don't even know what "cole" is??)

Although this is not the point and would not change the value or weight of my arguments against these air stupidity, but I am working in a project where technology is developed to contribute to lower emissions. But this takes more efforts and time, but is thought through.

That's why I hate stupid people or scammers (I think in the MDI case it is the former) that seek publicity and embezzle investors' money. Money real inventors would need!

[shanghaikidx]

Whatever you may say. It is a free world. Buy one of these "air Inventions" if you feel so and if you think that you are very "revolutionary" then. hihi. But first the company must be able to produce any of these stupid cars and live up to the claims they made. Hahahahah .... how laughable!!

But you expected any expertise from somebody with "Skoda" in his name.
