Compressed Air Car May Be Reality
New York company will build compressed air car for under $18,000 by 2010
Compressed air could would be the first mass produced vehicle of it’s kind, acheiving up to 106 miles per gallon. The car is expected to be ready by 2010, and at a price tag of $18,000. It would be a six seat model, and reach speeds up to 90 miles per hour, with a fuel range of more than 800 miles due to its dual energy engine. The motor will be a fuel compressed air combination, with one or more storage tanks of compressed air as well as a tank of fuel wich would be atleast 8 gallons in size. The car will run on compressed air at speeds under 35 miles per hour, and any speed above that, an external combustion engine that runs on a combination of gas, biofuel, or vegetable oil would be used.
An onborad air compressor would refill the tank while the car is runnin, or the cars owner could plug it into an electrical source and have it refilled within 4 hours.
