Air Car

No it doesn't fly, but it does run on compressed air - neat. I know it's not a bike, but if they could get a big enough tank on it, then it should be possible. Maybe for a scooter (more bodywork to hide a tank) than a bike???

The Compressed Air Car developed by Motor Development International (MDI) Founder Guy Negre might be the best thing to have happened to the motor engine in years.

The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned Air Car models, can hit 68 mph and has a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor units. MDI says it should cost only aroun d $2 to fill the car up with 340 liters of air!

The Air Car will be starting production relatively soon, thanks toIndia's TATA Motors. Forget corn! There's fuel, there's renewable fuel, and then there's user-renewable fuel! What can be better than air?
