Air Powered Fuel-less car
« on: September 30, 2008, 10:01:41 AM »
http://cleantechnica.com/2008/09/29/magnetic-air-car-could-be-ready-by-2010/#more-1204

Last week, I took a trip down to San Jose for West Coast Green, an environmentally-focused conference with an emphasis on sustainable building. One booth stood out from the crowd—Magnetic Air Cars, Inc.. The San Jose-based company claims that it is working on the world’s first fuel-less car.

The Magnetic Air Car uses three on-board substations to harness compressed air. The resulting airflow is channeled, modulated, and converted to torque that propels the car.

Hate to say it guys but if they get it to work properly 1 of 2 things would probably happen, it would either mean that we would all start having to pay for air or the design would dissapear along with all related documents for the design like the tyre that never wears out.
If there is money to be made from fosil fuels then you can bet that it wont make it to the production stage because of the big oil companies.

paying for air....genius! I argued this point to an economics teacher. (to kill an afternoon) I told him I was going to start buying up all of the earths oxygen. Then, give all of humanity a wireless interface necklace that counts breaths. Charge each person based on a breaths versus weight/size ratio. :lol: Burnt up a whole 45 minute class. ;)
