More On That Air-Powered Car
Here’s a cool video on the air-powered car coming out of India:

With all our efforts focused on electric cars, it’s sad that ideas like this are overlooked. If widely available, air driven cars would immediately fill a huge niche for local commuting. All you need to refuel is an air compressor, which you can get anywhere. Plenty of range for work/school/shopping, plenty of top speed for brief hops on the interstate. Cheap to operate. Low first cost. Zero emissions. Free air conditioning.
Two liabilities: 1) needs some work on the crash safety aspect, and, almost as important, 2) needs someone like IDEO to come up with a body design that looks a lot less…dorkish. The last one in the video is OK, the rest look meh.
