Believe it or not!!

 

Don't buy your next car yet….

What is this?

Will it be the next big thing?

Tata Motors of India thinks so.

What will the Oil Companies do to stop it?

It is an auto engine that runs on air.

That's right; air, not petrol, gas, diesel or electric but

just the air around us. Take a look.




Tata Motors of India has scheduled the Air Car to hit

Indian streets by August 2012



The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy N.

for Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air to push the

engine's pistons and make the car go.

The Air Car, called the "Mini CAT" could cost around 365,757

rupees in India or $8,177 US.

The Mini CAT which is a simple, light urban car, with a tubular

chassis, a body of fiberglass that is glued and powered by

compressed air. A Microprocessor is used to control all electrical

functions of the car. One tiny radio transmitter sends instructions

to the lights, turn signals and every other electrical device on the car -

which are not many.

The temperature of the clean air expelled by the exhaust pipe is

between 0-15 degrees below zero, which makes it suitable for

use by the internal air conditioning system with no need for gases

or loss of power.

There are no keys, just an access card which can be read by the

car from your pocket. According to the designers, it costs less than

50 rupees per 100 KM, that's about a tenth the cost of a car running

on petrol. It's mileage is about double that of the most advanced electric

car; a factor which makes it a perfect choice for city motorists. The car

has a top speed of 105 KM per hour or 60 mph and would have a range

of around 300 km or 185 miles between refuels. Refilling the car will take

place at adapted petrol stations with special air compressors. A fill up

will only take two to three minutes and costs approximately 100 rupees;

and the car will be ready to go another 300 kilometers.

This car can also be filled at home with it's on board compressor. It will

take 3-4 hours to refill the tank, but it can be done while you sleep.

Because there is no combustion engine, changing the 1 litre of vegetable

oil is only necessary every 50,000 KM or 30,000 miles. Due to its simplicity,

there is very little maintenance to be done on this car.

This Air Car almost sounds too good to be true. We'll see in August 2012
