RE: [RT] Fw: Air engine car

Hey, I’m being a little the devil’s advocate.  Been around this block before in the ‘70s and had a Datsun 1200 (the old B110 predecessor to the B210) that never got less than 45 MPG and I even got it to >70 MPG on one trip from the mountains to the shore (put the thing in neutral and coasted down mountains). 

 

About the Corvair, it was light years ahead IMO.  It was mechanically great IMO, you could pull the engine and two people could lift it out of the compartment.  It was fun, quick, cute.  A friend had one and I had a Ford Falcon (a piece of junk).  The only reservation was my car got better gas mileage.  That wasn’t a big deal back then with gas at $.25 a gallon.  The Corvair didn’t fail for mechanical reasons.  It failed because a government wannabe crusader destined it so in his omnipotent vision IMO.

They are starting at this size, but that doesn't mean that they will stay at this size.  the 1903 car was a start and the Hummer was the end of the evolution to get bigger.  The Mustang is no match for a Hummer either.   What about a Corvette and a Hummer?  I would guess that about 80% of the cars on the road would get the worst of a collision with a Hummer.   The Corvair failed for reasons other than its size.  It was a mechanical mess.  Does anyone remember the Messerschmit, I could have spelled it wrong, that was sold here during the last oil problem?  It was a 2 seat car that looked like an airplane cockpit on wheels.  There were dozens of them in the SF Bay Area at that time.  They were smaller than a Crosely.  I think I got that name right.  Another tiny car that is no longer with us.

1903 cars didn’t travel at 70 MPH and I don’t recollect seeing any Hummers tailgating 1903 cars at 70 MPH.  My comments are I wouldn’t feel safe putting my family in such a car.  Regardless, those that champion such cars are, likely, those who created the demise of the Corvair.

What will the hydrogen car be?  Isn't it also compressed gas?  With every new technology there is a starting point.  1903 cars don't look like a Hummer either.  Evolution works wonders for everything except the human being.

I’d feel safe riding around in that golf cart with a tin can bent around it (NOT) when I look up at the stoplight to a Hummer.  That thing makes the Corvair look like a Sherman tank.  Do you know how to spell Ralph Nader?  My understanding is the US standards for safety inhibit if not prohibit the compressed gas technologies.

This is the same company who, a few months back, came out with a car that costs only $2,500.00 new

(but it's not available in the US, why does that not surprise me?).

A non polluting vehicle that eliminates the reason to buy gasoline from off shore companies. How bad is that?

AMAZING AIR CAR!

The Compressed Air Car developed by Motor Development International (MDI) Founder Guy Negre might be the best thing to have happened to the motor engine in years. 

The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned Air Car models, can hit 68 mph and has a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor units. MDI says it should cost only around $2 to fill the car up with 340 liters of air! 

The Air Car will be starting production relatively soon, thanks to India's TATA Motors. Forget corn! There's fuel, there's renewable fuel, and then there's user-renewable fuel! What can be better than air?

Check it out yourself and see - What A Cool Car! Enjoy! :)
