A Car That Runs Off of Air

With the ever changing car market it seems like there are more and more possiblilities for non-gas options.  If only we could get these in the U.S.

The AirPod has only three wheels, two doors and a joystick instead of a steering wheel.  In an effort to build a non-polluting car the makers build this low emissions vehicle powered by compressed air.

 
Using technology developed by MDI, the car’s tank can be refilled through a charging station, or take in air while driving with the help of its electric engine—for a full tank, it takes two minutes to refill.

The AirPod is able to travel at a top speed of 28 to 49 mph (45 to 80 kmh)—and travels150-200km on a full tank.

The AirPod has caught the eye of Indian manufacture Tata but will only be commercially available in the near future.
