    Indian car runs on air.!!

    Thought you would be interested in India’s new car that runs on compressed air.

    Tata Motors is ready to introduce the Air Car - Will it be the next big thing? Tata Motors is taking giant strides and making history for itself. First the Land Rover/Jaguar deal, then the world's cheapest car, and now it is also set to introduce the car that runs on compressed air.

    With spiralling fuel prices it is about time we heard some breakthrough!

    India's largest automaker, Tata Motors, is set to start producing the world's first commercial air-powered vehicle.

    The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy Nigre for Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air, as opposed to the gas-and-oxygen explosions of internal-combustion models, to push its engine's pistons. Some 6000 zero-emissions Air Cars are scheduled to hit Indian streets by August 2011.

    The Air Car, called the "MiniCAT" could cost around Rs. 3,475,225 ($8,177.00) in India and would have a range of around 300 km between refuels.

    The cost of a refill would be about Rs. 85 ($2.00)

    The MiniCAT which is a simple, light urban car, with a tubular chassis that is glued, not welded, and a body of fiberglass powered by compressed air. Microcontrollers are used in every device in the car, so one tiny radio transmitter sends instructions to the lights, indicators, etc.

    There are no keys - just an access card which can be read by the car from your pocket. According to the designers, it costs less than 50 rupees per 100 Km (about a tenth that of a petrol car). Its mileage is about double that of the most advanced electric car (200 to 300 km or 10 hours of driving), a factor which makes a perfect choice in cities where 80% of motorists drive at less than 60 Km. The car has a top speed of 105 Kmph.

    Refilling the car will, once the market develops, take place at adapted petrol stations to administer compressed air.. In two or three minutes, and at a cost of approximately 100 rupees, the car will be ready to go another 200-300 kilometers.

    As a viable alternative, the car carries a small compressor which can be connected to the mains (220V or 380V) and refill the tank in 3-4 hours. Due to the absence of combustion and, consequently, of residues, changing the oil (1 litre of vegetable oil) is necessary only every 50,000 Km).

    The temperature of the clean air expelled by the exhaust pipe is between 0-15 degrees below zero, which makes it suitable for use by the internal air conditioning system with no need for gases or loss of power.

    ඉතාම හොඳ ත්‍රෙඩ් එකක්. මමත් බලන් හිටියේ මේ වගේ එකක් දානකන්.
    කට්ටිය Hybrid cars ගැන කතා කරමුද. Hybrid ලංකාවට හොඳයි ද කියලා. ඒ වගේම Maintenance, Spare-parts, Servicing වගේම මිල පිළිබඳවත් හොඳ discussion එකක් යමු
