Default Car that runs on air!

http://www.theaircar.com/

After twelve years of reserch and development, Guy Negre has developed an engine that could become one of the biggest technological advances of this century. Its application to CAT vehicles gives them significant economical and environmental advantages. With the incorporation of bi-energy (compressed air + fuel) the CAT Vehicles have increased their driving range to close to 2000 km with zero pollution in cities and considerably reduced pollution outside urban areas.
As well, the application of the MDI engine in other areas, outside the automotive sector, opens a multitude of possibilities in nautical fields, co-generation, auxiliary engines, electric generators groups, etc. Compressed air is a new viable form of power that allows the accumulation and transport of energy. MDI is very close to initiating the production of a series of engines and vehicles. The company is financed by the sale of manufacturing licences and patents all over the world.


This is incredible! It not only runs on Air, and wont need to refuel for 50,000km, but it purifies the air as it drives! Unfortunately its one of those mini cars, but its incredible! Once this gets refined, the oil industry is going to take an AMAZING hit!

I agree with pached, the automotive companies will never let this happen.

It's the same thing with medical progress, the government actually shuts up people who make breakthroughs in cancer and AIDS-related cure research.

Remember, the world runs on money. If you come up with something that destroys the big players' control over that money, then you're going to be sanctioned. If that technology is developed, there's no way the fat cats would allow it to be sold anywhere NEAR the price of "normal" cars and such.

Otherwise, fuel cells were discovered many years ago, but progress in development of it is minimal.

Quite astute and informed we are.

In fact, there have been MANY technological advancements in the way of alternate fuel for vehicles. However, those patents are bought up and locked away in safes by those "big players". It's the truth people, believe it.

It would be interesting, but if these "Big Players" want their money, their going to buy this patent up fast. Humans should all die.
