EV Weblog Comments - PHEV http://www.evconvert.com/ Helping people get rid of Gas since 1995 by: Kustomatic (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c003077 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p> <p>I think air powered cars are great. But I still want them to build a solar + Electric vehicle. That’s more energy saving since compressed air will be more expensive.</p> by: paul (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c002310 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p> <p>I would say that all these comments are useless unless we test drive the vehicle. When and why haven’t we yet? It’s probably cause it’s not practical for a wide variety of vehicles “yet”.</p> by: Ben Brown (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c002275 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p> <p>I am <span class="caps">REALLY</span> looking forward to air cars and think we need them <span class="caps">NOW</span>. I think the Korean and French companies are right on. I also want to encourage air car clubs because they will help bring these cars to the public’s attention.</p> by: Selvarajah (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c001715 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p><p>Thechincal know how and advice need to convert 3 Wheeler Taxi in to Ev Vehicles<br />Regards<br />Selva<br />K.SELVARAJAH 41,INNER FAIRLINE ROAD DEHIWELA <br />> SRILANKA TEL: 94112712171</p> by: James May (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c001622 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p><p>Good luck Marvin, Please tell us all about your compressed air car when it arrives. I agree, we need to move away from fossil fuels in an orderly fashion.</p> by: Gavin Shoebridge (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c001620 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p><p>Looks interesting but my personal choice would still be electric.<br />If anything, just for the lack of noise, vibration & moving parts.</p> by: Marvin Kitzerow (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c001618 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p><p>,Air powered vehicles are the future, here and now. They make hybrid gas and electric, bio-fuel, electric and hydrogen vehicles obsolete. The technology is too simple not to work. Air/steam engines powered mighty locomotives for decades. Until there was a way to store energy that was practicle other than coal energy, powering an automobile was not practicle. What makes air driven vehicles possible is the invention of the ultralight, high pressure, carbon fiber air tank.</p> <p>So far, as I can see, the companies that are the nearest to production are manufactured by MDI in France and the PHEV being manufactured by Energine Motors in South Korea></p> <p>The world needs to get behind these companies and promote this technology just as Tata Motors Limited, the 5th largest passenger car company in the world is doing in India.</p> <p>This exciting technology is a God send not only to humanity but also to world peace and global warming! I can easily see solar powered air compressors producing the air that propels these vehicles making them the first truly, zero emission automobiles. To continue manufacturing fossil fueled automobiles, in light of this compressed air technology, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. A compressed air refueling infrastructure is user friendly and will be able to be implemented almost over night. Almost all small residential garages already have air compressors that will be able to refuel air cars at home. Besides air refueling at service stations, there will be air dispensing stations at K-Mart, Walmart, 7/11 etc.</p> <p>For too long mankind has suffered at the behest of the oil barons who have gotten rich off of oil and used their profits to wage wars and cause consternation in the world. By being able to refuel our vehicles with compressed air that we generate on our own, for next to nothing, there will be an enormous boost to the economies of the world!</p> <p>Any automobile manufacturer who does embrace compressed air technology will be “left out in the cold”!</p> <p>I can’t express how excited I am to be witnessing this technology coming to fruition. I have put my name at the top of the list and can’t wait to recieve my first compressed air vehicle.</p> <p>Marvin R.

Interesting engine…any news on commercial availability yet? by: Michael B (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c000049 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p>There’s some interesting Air technologies emerging here in Australia too. http://www.engineair.com.au/ has a rather unique engine design, which is quite compact and light-weight. by: SeanG (PHEV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/phev#c000048 <p><strong>PHEV</strong></p>Air powered engines – it’s fascinating. Is it like the little water rocket I used to pump up and then blast off as a kid?<br /> I like the picture of the Korean robot – but it looks more threatening than helpful. Haha.
