first thx to response here and nice discuss without flame, i think this technology will be very good for the world in a near future, it already start with TATA, search it on wikipedia, search for AIR CAR please read all and look for the links!!

Man, this is a car that runs on AIR!! so stop the negs! OK .its not perfect..yet.. But remeber the petrol engine is a weapon of mass destruction!

Almost sounds like a lawn mower (go cart?) .I want to see crash test results. Either way, I see a market for them!

Not everybody drives in a climate like you. There are a large number of people who drive in rather hot environments. They will cry all the way to the bank, while you put your money into oil energy sources.

They claim...and everybody seems to believe it. Is there nobody who studied thermodynamics and makes a few basic calculations about all the performance data? How about driving in winter? I have to use car heating for 6 monthes a year.

How do you know? Did you check the data? I did.

Wouldn't be so bad if it would be correct. But I tell you it isn't. Like most of the story. The whole thing seems to be a very intelligent investor trap. Better don't fall in. You won't get out.

Who said they BUYED some rights? The agreement ENVISAGES Tata's supporting further development and refinement of the technology and its application and licensing for india.

To fill the tank in 3 minutes, you need a compressor with a driver of approx. 650 kW! How does Négre say in one of the videos? They must still do the planning of the filling stations...

Im so sorry read your dissapointment about the technology, but a have good news about!The TATA Indian Automobilies buy the rights to product a car with this thecnology.

Just watched another video and claimed mileage between fill ups is 200km which works out to about 125 miles, I don't think that is so bad for something that is being sold as mainly a city car.

Every single video I've seen about this car and the info I've read on the net all claim a recharge time of three minutes when recharging from a high pressure compressor, what makes you doubt this claim ?, do you have some info that contradicts these claims or is it that you just hate the idea of a world where oil is less important/needed ?

It's not close to mass production at all. Where did you even get such a crazy idea ?

Compressed air storage is lossy compared to batteries. Batteries will give you 90% or better of the energy back. With compressed air it's more like 50%.

You can't easily scale up a compressed air storage tank because of the pressures involved. The demonstrated range is about 100km IIRC. The range decreases seriously with speed.Also you *cannot* easily 'recharge' it in 3 minutes either !

same kind of shit they said about cars when they first came out. now look where its gone. as it improves you'll be seeing a lot more of them. this one is real and it's closer to mass production than you think.

anytime you use energy you lose it thats a given, in a gas powered car you burn petrol to provide power and once it's burnt it's lost...you don' burn it and have it magicaly return to the tank do you!, range is governed by tank size just the same as in gas cars, once you've burnt your fuel you have to buy some more.

if you watch the film again you will notice they claim a top speed of 110kmh which is about 65mph and as for range they do not make a claim in the film but range is purely down to tank size just the same as in a petrol powered car, and it only takes 3 minutes to refill the tank which is way ahead of electric cars at present
