Eco friendly cars

An USA car manufacturer plans to develop a new car that is fuelled by air. Although not a very fast car, the design developer, Zero Pollution Motors, bets that people will buy this car with 20, 000 USD. a carthat works with almost nothing, but air, and some vegetable oil or gas.

The principle is simple: the car, called CAV, is endowed with a compressed air  tank (a gas cylinder). the air is pumped to the cylinder head, simulating mixture explosion.

This car can reach about 56 kph only with compressed air and is just good for almost 80% of the consumers who drive at work or shopping. On the drive way, CAV can do about 1,300 km witth economic speed, helped by a little enginethat compresses air from the outside to keep a full tank.

The engine is not particulary difficult, and it can run  on gas or diesel and biodisel, ethanol, or vegetable oil. The vehicle will be available soon with an accesibile price.

Last year, the Indian car manufacturer, Tata, came with a similar ideea they were the first that intended to develop a car  that runs with compressed air, named Air Cat, the little craft is run with compressed air force that pushes on the engine cylinders. Tata wants to sell  with $15 milions the rights for the technology, machinery, tools, the assembly lines, all the know-how for car manufacturing along with training and the trademarks use. The indian comapny has no plan to produce the air car.
