From being fuel based to natural gas, to electric hybrid, electric, and now a great possibility of a fueless cars running on air, technology seems to have come a long way. The Magnetic Air Cars, Inc., the San Jose-based company claims that it is working on the world’s first fuel-less car using no gas, fuel, or external recharging device, only air to propel the vehicle. Utilizing three on-board substations to harness compressed air, the resultant airflow is channeled, modulated, and converted to torque that propels the car. The Magnetic Air Car uses compressed air technology for propulsion, but unlike Tata Motors air engine, or DiPietro, theirs uses a different design.

Standing lofty in the San Jose’s West Coast Green conference last week, the car is one of a kind and is supposed to be produced by 2010. Using a silicon salt battery having 30% more mass power than a lead acid storage battery, it can completely charge in one hour. The battery is also environmentally friendly: it’s 95% recyclable, and it can be used in almost extreme conditions: from -40 to +50 degrees Celsius.
A prototype of the car is being built at Club Auto Sport in San Jose. So for all you lovers of innovation, grab this one and go green!!
