Air car in INDIA

Advantage and Disadvantage

 INTRODUCTION

Our world is facing fuel

crisis, air pollution.
• All kind of conventional source of
fuel are on verge of exhaustion.
• Gasoline is the primary source of
fuel.
• Gasoline is becoming more and
more expensive and impractical.
 Air Powered Car

The Air Powered Car is powered

by air engine
which uses COMPRESSED AIRas fuel.
 Inventor

Manufactured by:

French Co. Moteur Development

International (MDI)

Founded by:

French inventor GUY NEGRE

 Vehicle Part

Electrical System
Compressed Air Tank

It is a carbon-fiber
tank

It holds 90 cubic meters of

air.

This tank can be ruptured,

but can’t be explode.
Break Power Recovery

It uses one
mechanism that
stops engine when
the car is stationary
(at traffic light ,
junctions etc..),
which recover 13% of
power used.
 Body

Its body is made up of FIBER GLASS and INJECTED FOAM.

• It is slightly costly

,but it does not cut like steel.

• It does not rust.

It is light weighted.
 Air Filter
Carbon filter are used to get rid from dirt , dust ,
humidity and other particles.
MDI cars produces clean air, which is cold on exit
and is harmless to human life.
•
 Engine

T his engine use compressed air as fuel.

The engine was developed between the end

of 2001 and the beginning of 2002.

Totally eco-friendly engine.

The engine becomes idle automatically

when car is stationary.
 Electrical system

Only one cable connects all electrical

parts (Headlight ,Dashboard light,
light inside the car) in the car.
Advantage are: Ease of
installation. Easy to repair

Removal of long cable.

Working
Facilities

Internet connection
GPS device

Computer screen showing the speed of car

2 Types Of Energy Mode

Single Energy Mode: It

uses only compressed
air. The maximum
speed is 50 km/h.
• Dual Energy Mode:
• It uses compress air as well
as fossil fuel. At speed over
50 km/h, the engine will
switch to fuel mode.
Fueling Process

Three modes for

fueling tank:
•Air Stations
•Domestic electric plug
•Dual-energy mode
 Air car in INDI

• T a t a M o t o r s , on Feb.05,2007 signed
an agreement with MDI Co. of France, to
develop air car.
• The Air Car, called theM i n i C AT could cost
around Rs. 3,50,000 ($ 8177) in India and
would have a range of around 300 km
between refuels .The cost of a refill would be
about Rs 90.
Advantage and Disadvantage

Advantages:
• Economical
• Pollution free
• Better Comfort
• Less maintenance
• Easy to refuel

Disadvantages:

Less Speed

Air pumping station are less in number

Conclusion

Air powered cars is a realization of

latest technology in automobile field. The air car
is a clean, easy to drive, light weight and high-
performance car.

It eliminates the use of non-renewable

fuels and Thereby preventing pollution
and step to a healthier environment.

The Mexico government scheduled to

replace 45000 cars by air car in highly
polluted area of their country.
