This car runs on air



The only exhaust is cold air..can we hook it up to my a/c unit?


"In both cars, an electric pump compresses air into the tank at a pressure of 300 bars.

The pump plugs straight into an ordinary household socket and takes four hours to complete the recharge.

Mr Braud said: 'When you get home, you normally plug in your cell phone. Well, now you do that with your car, too.'

Inside the Air Car - the brainchild of former Formula One engine designer Guy Negre - escaping compressed air is used to pump pistons that take the vehicle up to 110kmh.

The car can travel 80km at top speed on a full tank, or further at lower speeds.

The only exhaust that comes out of the tail pipe is cold air."
