A Development that I've been keeping an eye on since the late 1998 is a company called MDI, now established in Spain the business was established in France by an inventor named Guy Negre who's background in the car racing business supplied his inspiration. MDI has created a high performance Auto mobile that runs completely on compressed air technology. In comparison to traditional gas powered engines, the compressed air based technology is infinitely superior in regards to energy used and thermodynamics. Some information on the air-powered automobile: The engineering science that MDI vehicles function on is not new, as a matter of fact it had existed for a number of years. Compressed air engineering permits engines to become both non contaminating and frugal for it's user and the environment. Fully 10 years into R&D, MDI is poised to present its environmentally friendly automobiles to the marketplace. The AirCar by MDI despite reports to the contrary, compare very well to hybrid, electric and the still unavailable hydrogen powered cars. The AirCar is reasonably priced, has a good range of driving distance before needed a fill-up, and it's environmental efficiency compares positively to other so-called eco-cars. They are easy to drive, uncomplicated, inexpensive and reduce the environmental footprint over standard autos, significantly. The AirCar is safe, dependable does not cause pollution, does not have fuel that can explode, it's not toxic and it's also very affordable. The company plans to make two versions -- a three-seat compact called the Minicat priced at $9,850 and a six-seat sedan for $16,000 called Citycat. The operations of the AirCar, include an electrical pump that forces air into a tank. The air in turn move pistons that take the vehicle up to 70 mph. The vehicle can travel 50 miles at the greatest speed on a full tank, and much farther if travelling at more reasonable levels. They're currently developing models that have even greater distance capabilities, and also hybrid versions that meld additional energy options to allow for for limitless range. They're somewhat costlier but attain higher levels of speed and greater range by running on a combination of compressed air and regular gasoline or bio-fuels derived from organic matter. MDI says the air-only versions satisfy the demands of almost all urban drivers, that drive shorter distances each day. The Minicat and Citycat will both be available with air only engines. They have been designed for city driving conditions where speeds of 50kmh and below are the norm. The MDI cars are positioned perfectly for new laws that will charge a tax on gas-polluting engines that are driven in cities. You can see reference to this in London, where there is already a fee for driving an automobile in the city limits. All MDI automobiles will have the option of being equipped with a hybrid engine, which has been added so the vehicle can be driven longer distances as well as city driving. When the car is taken out of the city at speeds over 50km/h the engine will switch over to the fuel burning source, but when in a city driving below 50, it will work exclusively on air. The dual source engine will be able to use gasoline, diesel, ethanol or alcohol as it's combustion source. Both engines will be equipped with 2, 4 and 6 cylinders, once the air tanks are emptied the driver will be able to alternate between fuel modes, as a result of the car's on board computer. The Air-only models have Zero emissions. According to MDI the only exhaust is hot air coming from the tail pipe.
