Air Cars

November 3rd, 2008 Alex

A car that runs on air sounds pretty cool. The technology exists for a car that runs on compressed air. Indian car maker Tata has bought the rights to the technology but has no plans on producing it in the US. The car can only run 35 mph for 60 miles on a tank of compressed air so it would need an alternate source of energy such as a motor that compresses outside air to make it run 800 miles. I dont really think that this technology will really pick up anytime soon since there is already so much research and development on the other hybrid and alternative fuel cars. It is nice, however, to know that there are different alternatives out there.
