The Indian company Tata, specializing in the manufacture of automobiles, is planning to release a totally unexpected machine that will run on compressed air - this idea matured in the minds of inventors for a long time. But that#39;s only after the establishment of the company does not even know how to display the cars to the commercial market.
Using a technique proposed by MDI of Luxembourg, Tata has designed single-seater AirPod, which can travel at speeds of 45 to 70 km / h (28 - 43 mph). Indian inventors do not want to use gas or electricity, they decided to do the driving force of the compressed air. In the car to charge the air is pumped through the station, as it may come in the car with the motor. One of the advantages is the possibility to get a car charging during braking. Of course, the car is still in the testing stage, and you could find some other alternative to go than to wait for the air-ion batteries from IBM.
The company MDI worked on their technology for a very long time, but it does not stop her in 2007 to conclude a license agreement with Tata, provided that the first prototype of the car has appeared in late 2011. In May, the developers had full tests of two cars Tata, which enabled Tata and MDI think about the full production, only the company has not even imagine how the end user will perceive such a controversial novelty.
