View Full Version : A car that runs on air. Dr Cynical 10-03-2004, 04:53 AM Air car (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=509&e=1&u=/ap/france_air_car) What do you guys think of it and would you buy one? HomicideHank 10-03-2004, 05:47 AM When I was in Amsterdam on er, um, business, they had little Mercedes clown cars like that but they were gas-powered. I won't be buying any alternative to the internal combustion engine anytime soon. That's not to say I wouldn't like to see us reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but the auto companies need to come out with a solid long-term plan to work in new autos like this air-powered car (or any other hybrid, fuel cell, etc.) before I'll make that step to buy one.. Ranger2408 10-03-2004, 06:51 AM that car is awesome for inner city travelling, it still requires electricity though so unless they use renewable sources of power it will still pollute in some way. It aint bad i would have that and an ordinary car if i wanted to go further (if i had the money of course ) Dr.Depravity 10-03-2004, 10:02 PM I bet it wont catch on. they say its too inefficient. Hows the hydrogen cars coming? bmw supposedly had a few working models. but i havent heard anything lately.

By the way, what does the pump force air through? Is it a combustion engine setup minus the ignition and fuel delivery system? hollister 10-03-2004, 10:14 PM Besides, ten grand is too much to pay for something as undesireable as that thing from a performance standpoint, and imagine your electric bill, jeez. Dr.Depravity 10-03-2004, 10:14 PM Sorry, but they would have to outlaw all the older steel bodied cars before I would risk it, and I like the Steel bodied cars too much to ever support their extinction. By the way, what does the pump force air through? Is it a combustion engine setup minus the ignition and fuel delivery system? Kinda sounds that way. I wonder what pressure the air is kept at, and what size the tank is. Doesn't sound the safest to me. Especially when that cougar ass ends it. ;) hollister 10-03-2004, 10:16 PM No **** lol hollister 10-03-2004, 10:16 PM It might hit 85 M.P.H. then, for a little while lol PacKillsMorales 10-04-2004, 09:22 AM i bet the only reason it does seventy is theyve put a governor on it. i bet ya could get 110mph lol Palma 10-04-2004, 10:51 AM For inner city traveling it would be great. Especially in crowded city centers like the one I live in. So crowded here that people park anywhere they damn please. Even on the pedestrian curb. The Fix 10-05-2004, 05:25 PM how many clowns can fit in that thing. :eek: :D bigdlb12 10-05-2004, 11:02 PM I want one that runs off of milk Ranger2408 10-06-2004, 04:15 PM why milk? how will the cows feel about that eh eh? bigdlb12 10-24-2004, 12:56 PM this cars run on air http://www.fast-autos.net/lingenfelter/lingenfelter427tt.html or goes faster than air and faster than a f-14 jet in a 1/2 mile race |
