Magnetic Air Car Will Alleviate Fossil Fuel Crisis

It is technology to the rescue again, this time, a new breakthrough has been achieved for the fossil fuel crisis.

We know of green homes, clean energy, etc. but how about a car powered by compressed air? The company called Magnetic Air Cars Inc says it is working on a prototype car that will not use any gas, fuel, or external recharging device, only air to propel the vehicle. This so called Magnetic Air Car could be ready by 2010 “or sooner.”

The Magnetic Air Car uses three on-board substations to harness compressed air. The resulting airflow is channeled, modulated, and converted to torque that propels the car. There is a “Silicon Energy Storage Battery” which has 30% more mass power than normal lead acid battery.

The process of chemosynthesis delivers a more environmentally friendly, high-capacity, quick-charging (1 hour), 10-year-life battery.

Indian car company Tata Motors is working on its MDI air-powered car, and the team explained that there are differences between both technologies. While the MDI uses pistons, the Magnetic Air Car will be using a form of “magnetic technology.”

The execs also told us that they are looking to raise a bridge round of financing over the next few months before more substantial funding comes in.
