The (Hot?) Air Car
April 30, 2007 – 10:58 pm
I really enjoy the Digg site of the social bookmarking sites I’ve looked at… which total two (digg and delicious). I just used the “blog this” feature on Digg for this crazy air car thing.
“Now the first commercial compressed air car is on the verge of production and beginning to attract a lot of attention, and with a recently signed partnership with Tata, India’s largest automotive manufacturer, the prospects of very cost-effective mass production are now a distinct possibility.”
My first thought was that you still have to compress the air which requires power that must be generated somehow, so while it is zero-emissions, it’s not zero-impact. (Many people who commented on Digg said this, too). Someone countered that we do know how to generate clean electricity cleanly (wind, solar, water, nuclear).
Anyway, I’m watching District B13 which is suddenly demanding all of my attention.
Update: Wow - that was intense! 85 minutes of some well shot parkour action starring Cyril Raffaelli and David Belle. They do all the stunts themselves, and it’s pretty impressive.
