The Air Car
Monday, August 28th, 2006
A co-worker told me about this car he saw on the Discovery (or Science or something) channel, and we found the web site for it:
The MDI Air Car - the world´s cleanest car.
A car that runs on compressed air. My first thought was, okay, how clean is it really? Because people tend to forget this with electric cars: the electricity has to be generated somewhere, and it’s probably a polluting coal plant that’s doing it. But their site says they have a fuel/air hybrid (I’m just guessing, the fuel part is for an internal compressor maybe?) that gives the car a range of 1200 miles. I wish I saw the show or it had more detail here, though, the site seems like mostly rah-rah we’re great stuff.
