Tata is about to start selling a compressed air car
the car is not powered by petrol, batteries or anything, just compressed air..
=> The Air-Car
would you buy one?
top speed 105km/h....
so 0-100 in?? 1 min??? LOL
Sounds real good to me.
I just hope it's not a lot of hot air. Stupid pun fully intended. ![]()
i dunno.. i'd probably be laughing at those who have to blow about $300 to $400 a month on fuel if i had the little car..
besides, there are many others out there which is like that too ![]()
would it go "boom" if you get into an accident and the tank ruptures ? ......

did you watch Mythbusters?
the only way they could make a Propane tank explode was with incendiary rounds being fired from a minigun...
now, compressed gas?

I'm not sure about that .....
during dive rescue training they'll show you pictures of ruptured scuba tanks .....
it's a scary sight ....
now they want to use compressed gas to run a car .... ![]()

scuba tanks have oxygen and a bit of helium inside....

tanks probably had flaws in them...
they shot a propane tank full of holes with slugs from a shotgun, a few rounds from a 30.06 and more things... 9mm could not pierce the tank..

actually, not really .... most times it's just normal compressed air ....
sometimes augmented with a bit of oxygen, and we call it nitrox ....
anything with helium (trimix) is mostly beyond the realm of recreational divers .....
but a ruptured tank is still a scary sight .... imagine one rupturing in close proximity to you .... >.<
Cool.. i might save up for one if its available in sg market..
Arh.....this is the car that I saw from an email that my colleague send it to me few months ago....If that car is a really working well, then next time we dont have to worry about the price for the gas.
hard to appear in sg market la for sure... u ship here how much le.... etc etc... very hard la... if not is VERY LONG. dont think
