Car fueled by air!

From the “hard to believe” department, how’s this for cheap fuel- car fueled by air! No really- until I read it in the magazine POPULAR MECHANICS I laughed and thought “no way”. Well, apparently it is true! Last year, POPULAR MECHANICS reported that the Air Car caused a huge stir when they reported that Tata Motors would begin producing it in India. Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) confirmed to PopularMechanics.com on Thursday that it expects to produce the world’s first air-powered car for the United States by late 2009 or early 2010. As the U.S. licensee for Luxembourg-based MDI, which developed the Air Car as a compression-based alternative to the internal combustion engine, ZPM has attained rights to build the first of several modular plants, which are likely to begin manufacturing in the Northeast and grow for regional production around the country, at a clip of up to 10,000 Air Cars per year.
