A air powered car is a car that uses a engine powered by compressed air. It was invented by Guy Ngre, a French engineer; in 1991 started Moteur Development International (MDI), Luxembourg. The car can be powered solely by air or combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline, diesel & ethanol.

Also called as a low pollution or zero pollution cars

Gasoline is becoming more expensive and impractical. It is also damaging to the environment.

It is not a renewable resource, it will eventually run out.

As air Powered cars runs on compressed air instead of gasoline, with zero pollution / Ecofriendly in operation.

The compressed air tanks. The body. Air filter. The chassis.

Gear box.

The MDI con-rod system allows the piston to be held at Top Dead Centre for 70% of the cycle, so enough time is given to create the pressure in the cylinder.

No emission. 4 cylinder Uses vegetable oil as lubricant, and only needs to be changed 50,000 km. Range 120 miles. Max. speed 220 km/h. 0 80 km/h in 7sec. Solar panels on the roof can be used for the heating system. The cold air produced can be used for the air conditioning system in the car.

Refuelling can be done at home using an air compressor or at service stations. Compressed air engines reduce the cost of vehicle production, because there is no need to build a cooling system, spark plugs, starter motor, or mufflers. Reduction or elimination of hazardous chemicals such as gasoline or battery acids/metals

The vehicle's air compressor will probably run on gasoline and this gas will produce pollution when burned. Distance could also become a disadvantages. (less than 120 miles) Refuelling the compressed-air container using a home or low-end conventional air compressor may take as long as 4 hours.

The air car is a clean, easy to drive, high performance car. MDI has achieved what the large car manufactures have promised in a hundred years time.

When this will come on the roads ,it will surely bring a revolution in the automobile arena. This will be the car of the future.
