 A air powered car is a car that uses a engine
powered by compressed air.
It was invented by Guy Ngre, a French
engineer; in 1991 started Moteur Development
International (MDI), Luxembourg.
The car can be powered solely by air or
combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with
gasoline, diesel & ethanol.

Also called as a low pollution or zero pollution

cars
 Gasoline is becoming more expensive and
impractical.

It is also damaging to the environment.

It is not a renewable resource, it will eventually

run out.

As air Powered cars runs on compressed air

instead of gasoline, with zero pollution /
Ecofriendly in operation.
 The compressed air tanks.
The body.
Air filter.
The chassis.
Gear box.
 The MDI con-rod system allows the piston to be held at Top Dead
Centre for 70% of the cycle, so enough time is given to create the
pressure in the cylinder.
 No emission.
4 cylinder
Uses vegetable oil as lubricant, and only needs
to be changed 50,000 km.
Range 120 miles.
Max. speed 220 km/h.
0 80 km/h in 7sec.
Solar panels on the roof can be used for the
heating system.
The cold air produced can be used for the air
conditioning system in the car.

 Refuelling can be done at home using an air
compressor or at service stations.
Compressed air engines reduce the cost of
vehicle production, because there is no need to
build a cooling system, spark plugs, starter
motor, or mufflers.
Reduction or elimination of hazardous
chemicals such as gasoline or battery
acids/metals
 The vehicle's air compressor will probably
run on gasoline and this gas will produce
pollution when burned.
Distance could also become a disadvantages.
(less than 120 miles)
Refuelling the compressed-air container
using a home or low-end conventional air
compressor may take as long as 4 hours.
 The air car is a clean, easy to drive, high performance
car. MDI has achieved what the large car manufactures
have promised in a hundred years time.
When this will come on the roads ,it will
surely bring a revolution in the automobile
arena.
This will be the car of the future.
