Air car

Air car uses the motor which is powered by the compressed air. The car can operate only with the help of air and it can be combined with gasoline, diesel, ethanol, or regenerative braking electric plant.

Engines

The engines in the compressed car use the compressed air that is stored in the tank at a high pressure of about 30 MPa. Air car uses the expansion of the compressed air in the similar way to the expansion of the steam engine. The storage tanks are made with the help of carbon fiber to reduce the weight.

Storage tanks

The manufactures of the air car have taken many safety features in to the containers. The containers are non flammable. The carbon fibers safely hold the air at a pressure level around 4500 psi which makes them comparable to the steel ones.
