Compressed Air Car Moves Forward

by Rebecca Harrison

PARIS (Reuters) --- Visionary 19th century French writer Jules Verne once described a fantastical future world where cars would run on air.

He may not have been totally wrong.

Inventor, car enthusiast and environmentalist Guy Negre has built a car powered by compressed air and hopes it will be chuffing along roads across the world within the next few years.

Inside Negre's car, cold air compressed in tanks to 300 times atmospheric pressure is heated and fed into the cylinders of a piston engine.

No combustion takes place, so there is no pollution. In fact, says Negre, the air from the exhaust pipe is cleaner than the air that goes in, thanks to an internal filter.

The car can be refilled with air at home using an electric compressor and Negre hopes that, one day, drivers will be able to recharge the cars in filling stations in three minutes for as little as three dollars.

Guy Nègre

De Cyril Guy Nègre, gebuer den 8. Februar1941 zu Narbonne, a gestuerwen de 24. Juni2016, war e franséische Constructeur, deen un der Entwécklung vun engem Drockloftmotor fir kleng Stadgefierer geschafft hat.

Den Nègre war als éischt an der Aeronautik beschäftegt an huet duerno op eege Fauscht Formel-1-Motoren entwéckelt (déi et awer ni bis zum Asaz bruecht hunn), bis datt e sech vun der Iddi vu Motoren ouni Schuedstoffemissioune begeeschtere gelooss huet. 1991 huet e mat enger 160 Investisseuren déi lëtzebuergesch Gesellschaft Motor Development International S.A. (MDI) gegrënnt, déi 1996 eng éischt Versioun vun engem Drockloftmotor virgestallt huet. De Konzept vum Drockloftmotor huet zanterhier e puermol missen ëmgeschafft ginn an e sollt fréiestens 2009 bei engem seriëméissege produzéierten Auto agebaut ginn. (Allerdéngs gouf iwwer 15 Joer reegelméisseg d'Serieproduktioun fir jeeweils dat lafend oder nächst Joer ugekënnegt.)
