Floating on air… Powered by air… It’s almost the same thing right?

Blow blow harder old chap, the tank is almost full. This might be in our near future if a certain French engineer is allowed to have his way; I really do hope he is allowed free reign. Former F1 engineer has developed a car that runs on air… that’s right. AIR. Taking about 3 minutes to pump a full tank and supposed to reach a top speed of over 80 mph, this sounds absolutely fantastic.

You obviously cannot blow your way to a full tank. That was a complete dramatization of course, but I must say I am excited. Big guns TATA is funding him and he is hoping to get the first few cars out of the production gate by the end of this year. Woo hoo..

I hope the big oil companies don’t try to stop this innovation out of existence.  Enjoy the video after the jump.

    '…Curiosity killed the cat…' It’s a good thing I’m not a cat. If I were to akin myself to a representative of the animal kingdom a monkey would be more my type :-)
