    Philippine News -- Manila Standard Today -- Air car from India -- july24_2008

    The Air Car was developed by a French engineer, Guy Negre, for a family owned company, MDI, in Carros in Southern France.

    It runs on compressed air. According to Popular Mechanics in its June 2007 issue, “Barring any last minute design changes on the way to production, the Air Car should be surprisingly practical. The $12,700 CityCAT, one of a handful of planned Air Car models, can hit 68 mph and has a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor units. MDI says it should cost around $2 to fill the car’s carbon-fiber tanks with 340 liters of air at 4350 psi. Drivers also will be able to plug into the electrical grid and use the car’s built-in compressor to refill the tanks in about four hours.”

    What can nanotechnology do for your batteries?

    With Altairnano’s innovative technology, the possibilities have never been greater. Think about an innovative rechargeable battery designed to meet the challenges of ordinary rechargeable batteries. Those challenges include a long recharge time, short cycle life, poor operational safety and no tolerance for extreme temperatures. If you had a battery that could meet those challenges, you could move into new applications and new markets.
