I mentioned earlier about this, but it looks like it’s going ahead that India’s getting the first air powered cars. One of the models known as the CityCat can hit almost 110 km/hour and travel just over 200 km on a single tank of 340 litres of air at 4350 psi for about $2. The car itself is due to cost $12,700. Refueling takes a few minutes however the car can refuel using a power outlet to run a built-in compressor in about 4 hours.
Read about it here from Popular Mechanics.
I’m all up for a small air car in Australia or air-powered motorcycle/scooter if possible, so it’ll be interesting to see where this will head. MDI apparently will bring its technology to 12 other countries including Germany, Israel and South Africa.
