Any thoughts here about the reality of this?
It has been confirmed, sort of, that Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) is expected to produce the world's first air-powered car for the U.S. by late 2009 or early 2010. The Air Car is estimated to get between 800 and 1,000 miles on one tank of air and 8 gallons of either conventional, ethanol or biofuel. ZPM, the U.S. licensee for MDI, based in Luxembourg and the developer of the Air Car, says it holds the rights to build the first of several modular plants that will begin to produce Air Cars around the country at a rate of about 10,000 per year.
I checked http://zeropollutionmotors.us/ for more information but the site is not very informative.
I assume that you plug it in and the built in compressor pumps a tank full of air. The air pressure them runs a motor that propells a very small, very light car for some unspecified distance. Where the "8 gallons of either conventional, ethanol or biofuel" comes in is not explained.
I only note that you can "invest" in the product at the site and that, otherwise, the production claims seem awfully grandiose. :confused:
