A Breath of Fresh Air

The MDI Air CarThis is an incredibly cool concept. More people need to use their imaginations like this if we are to have any real chance of reducing dependency on petroleum.

"After twelve years of reserch and development, Guy Negre has developed an engine that could become one of the biggest technological advances of this century. Its application to CAT vehicles gives them significant economical and environmental advantages. With the incorporation of bi-energy (compressed air + fuel) the CAT Vehicles have increased their driving range to close to 2000 km with zero pollution in cities and considerably reduced pollution outside urban areas."

"As well, the application of the MDI engine in other areas, outside the automotive sector, opens a multitude of possibilities in nautical fields, co-generation, auxiliary engines, electric generators groups, etc. Compressed air is a new viable form of power that allows the accumulation and transport of energy. MDI is very close to initiating the production of a series of engines and vehicles. The company is financed by the sale of manufacturing licences and patents all over the world."

    Interesting, so we have a hybrid where compressed air is supposed to take the place of the battery. I'll be curious to see how that works out.

    I hope they work on some of those typos,(e.g., "invovation", "principal" instead of "principle") as well. Maybe I'll drop them a line. That won't help them sell this thing.
