Air Car by Guy Negre on The Science Channel
Guy Negre of MDI Air Car engine that runs on compressed air. Emissions are only filtered air that’s cleaner than outside air. 300 bars of pressure in carbon-fibre & kevlar air tanks. Car can travel at 110 km/hr and has a 150 km driving range. Refilling can be done by plugging in at home or at a special high-pressure air station. Dual-energy models use small amounts of bio-fuels that can extend the range to over 1400 kms.
Pollution free vehicle that produces zero emissions. When the car stops at traffic lights, the engine stops so no energy is lost because there’s no idling.

Who are the poor …
Who are the poor muts financing this project? I’ve know about it for 10 years - still none sold and no performance figures released. Some people have been “taken for a ride” - and it wasn’t in this vehicle.
No, now-a-days it …
No, now-a-days it costs about 40 dollars.
-Sad face-
This is called …
This is called progress, I like being able to hit a switch and have the lights come on. The USA is the greates in the world that is why everone wants to live here. I don’t see poeple flocking to move to Africa or any other 3rd world contry.
My point was that …
My point was that there are other Countries working on good transportation such as electric cars, air cars and basic transportation vehicle that we in the USA will never see because thay are over regulated to the point it adds thousands on dollars to the cost. I should be able to by a basic cheap mode on trasportation. They will not let me drive a cheap car because it will not pass a crash test but I can ride a motorcycle at what ever speed I want. The cheap car is safer than a bike
Good technology? …
Good technology? You think 7.2km at bicycling speed is GOOD!
google rexreserch negre for the ONLY published test. Ignore the claims they are lies and moose drool
This would never …
This would never pass crash testing in the USA. There is alot of good technology
around that we can not use because of regulations in USA.
Weight maybe?
Weight maybe?
I dont see this …
I dont see this taking off in the US.
You sound really …
You sound really smart. I mean it. I wish I had a brain like yours.
it is a pretty cool …
it is a pretty cool idea, but theyre really ugly and they cant go on the highway without using gasoline
to many nagtive …
to many nagtive thoughts here ! air car is great invention ! isnt that tato nano indian car doing this already like 1000 dollars for the whole car !
Nope wrong price, it’’s spelt Tata and they are not doing an air car
to many nagtive …
to many nagtive thoughts here ! air car is great invention ! isnt that tato nano indian car doing this already like 1000 dollars for the whole car !
Are these mf’ers …
Are these mf’ers serious? No ones gonna buy this piece of shat
It’s had since 1991 …
It’s had since 1991 how much longer do you think it needs. Air cars date back to the 1900’s same question
‘Radio has no …
‘Radio has no commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody.’(Colleagues of David Sarnoff on his Radio project, 1920’s.)
when the Wrights tried their first plane they said man would never fly. i say this is a great idea, new or not and we should give it a chance to prove itself and lend constructive support to an idea with a good cause instead of being overly critical and shooting it down before it even has had a chance to mature.
Hmm. Spend $2. of …
Hmm. Spend $2. of electricity to pump air into a car that can go about 4 miles. That is 50 cents per mile. Better yet, give those con artists $300,000. to built zero car. MDI and Zero Emission Motor should be renamed to Zero Production Motor because, they will never built a car for the public.
Hahaha … how …
Hahaha … how brain amputated one has to be to think that this ty compressed air stupidity solves any energy problem??? Ah, because this doesn’t emit CO2 when driving??? Ah, and who or what compresses the air??? Really, how brain amputated one needs to be.
And please, this is certainly no ‘new technology’ or “smart invention”, but the latest rubbish from France that does not work. Please, Frenchies, do us a favor and cultivate wine!
its great , but …
its great , but ugly why not make look good like mini car style
i wanna see what …
i wanna see what japan could do with this
7kw wind power unit …
7kw wind power unit, isn’t trivial to build, isn’t cheap (think $1000s for just the materials), apply for permits, erecting a 50 ft tower etc etc When you have done so you will discover unless you are way to and gone in the back blocks where running lines is super costly it is MUCH MUCH cheaper to get electricity from the mains. Sad but absolutely true.
Just try to put 7kw wind mill up in town. You will get to play meet the berserk neighbours and local council
well, start using …
well, start using your head and your hands and build one your self (wind turbine), it will be a lot cheaper than buying one, and obviously a lot than having to pay for it every month
Sure it’s so so so …
Sure it’s so so so cheap to dam a stream, install the penstocks, install the pipelines. Having dug trenches for a home scale hydro system I suggest you haven’t a clue what you are talking about.
And of course they give away 7kw (that’s how big it has to be) wind turbines and their towers for free.
I guess that’s why everyone has one in their back yard. Doh!
who says it has to …
who says it has to be photovoltaic? im sure there are more energy alternatives out there, such as wind power, hydro, etc…
So you think …
So you think spending $45,000 on a photovoltaic set up to run the compressor this con requires is “free”?.
If so your free does not equal my free.
