Comments on: New Air Car: How Long will the Feds Sit on this one? http://www.techimoto.com/2008/06/05/new-air-car-how-long-will-the-feds-sit-on-this-one/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:18:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: james jones http://www.techimoto.com/2008/06/05/new-air-car-how-long-will-the-feds-sit-on-this-one/#comment-368 james jones Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:22:37 +0000 http://www.techimoto.com/?p=406#comment-368 We need demand first, infrastructure will follow. Most Americans drive less than 50 miles a day. Those of us who live near work could charge this thing at home. Their home compressors generate domestic hot water from the waste heat, pretty cool. I expect alot of employers will install metered outlets for electric cars and these could be used if you had a compressor on board. The electric car buffs also have a trailer that they use to push their cars. It is the front end off of a small front end drive car, turned into a trailer. That way you could take these things on long trips. The problem with getting this thing into the US will be crash worthyness (thanks to Ralph Nader, loved my Corvair) and the auto unions who will fight this tooth a nail, as they did foriegn imports in the 60's.

I'm all for buying it and keeping a pan-cake compressor in the back. Go to a rest stop plug in the compressor and get your air for free! Or ask any store for a plug in, I bet most would accommodate you for three minutes. Who needs infrastructure when every building as an outlet? I would be interested, too in the impact studies.

The problem is the technology does not seem to match information in the brochures. I wish this would work, perhaps the y should use the rotary air engine that was developed in Australia which is much smaller, lighter and more fuel (air) efficient. The Air Car has proved that air is not the way forward, our biggest hope is batteries. In fact what did Tata buy, perhaps some world press about green technology.

Is there any word on this? I’ve been looking forward to these air cars for some time, but it is my understanding that they may never make it to the U.S. due to impact safety issues.
