How much do you guys know about this vehicle?
India is supposed to implement several thousand models by 2008, but the states and many other countries may not see production for quite some time. Seems like an Australian company called "EngineAir" utilized Merceds Benz legend Angelo di Pietro's design which has no emissions, is high torque, and appears to be overall more efficient than MDI's model, which can be viewed here:http://www.theaircar.com/ An article concerning Pietro's model can be viewed here:http://www.gizmag.com/go/3185/ EngineAir's site:http://www.engineair.com.au/ Interesting times, indeed... |

The Di Pietro motor concept is based on a rotary piston. Different from existing rotary engines, the Di Pietro motor uses a simple cylindrical rotary piston (shaft driver) which rolls, without any friction, inside the cylindrical stator. The space between stator and rotor is divided in 6 expansion chambers by pivoting dividers. These dividers follow the motion of the shaft driver as it rolls around the stator wall. The motor shown is effectively a 6 cylinder expansion motor
We have verification of its performance We have patents issued It has outstanding efficiency It has constant high torque It has low parts count It has low number of moving parts It is compact and light It has virtually no friction It has virtually no vibration It has smooth speed control characteristics Only 1 PSI of pressure is needed to overcame the friction THAT'S CORRECT ONLY 1 PSI !! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow" very interesting i hope they implement this invention in the whole world. "Well Bush"... hands up ,forget the oil if you really love America. |

Seems like the only reason implementation would be an issue over here in the states is that all of the cars currently just have strong fiberglass for body's, basically. However, Di Pietro appears confident that he can fix that last problem, then there would be little excuse for withholding mass production of these vehicles.
The biggest concern over here in the states would be crash tests. The vehicles (in their current state) like many of the possible "cars of tomorrow" have lighter construction, and could not withhold much force. Discovery did a show a few months back on the best kinds of cars for the future. The air car appeared to beat out all the competition, in the episode that I watched. The host said something along the lines, "And that's why the air car is discovery's pick for the next future car". |

Air powered vehicles have been around for years. But not on highways.
I worked at a mine that had a air locomotive that was built around 1920. http://www.aircaraccess.com/history.htm I also have worked with air hoist and air powered muckers. I like the idea. Building a solar powered air compressor will be no problem. |
