Air Powered Car!

A French designer of engines for Formula One racing cars has turned his attention to creating an engine that runs on, and emits, only air! By all accounts, this is no pie-in-the-sky dream invention either - as the vehicle’s release is slated for later this year.

With a top speed of 110kph (68mph) and a range of about 200kms (125miles), it looks to be an entirely useable commuter, and more. In fact, once the initial model is on the market, there are plans for a hybrid version - a car that will use a small amount of fuel to generate the compressed air required for the main engine - resulting in a 4,500km range (2,800 miles) from just one tank of fuel!

this car is almost TOO good to be true - its perfect in almost everyway - but something tells me this is jus one of those concepts which will never make it to the mainstream - but if it did then its worth going for it né

machan i saw the second half of the video on the smaller motor only now - that liitle new engine is quite revloutionary!!!!

how come no one has ever given much a great invention any prominance before!!???!!!

if u hadnt mentioned it bro - i doubt anyone here would ever have even dreamed of such a concept!

nice find

...maybe our very own Dr Lawrence Perera could make that engine work in sri lanka someday perhaps....
