Air-Powered Cars - MDI and Tata Collaborate
MDI and Tata Collaborate

Sure, we have plenty of air, so why not use it to motor around in Tata Nano cars? The company that boasts they can build a $2,500 car is working on an air-powered model with an engine from MDI Enterprises. The engine uses compressed air to make it very cold, then it is heated and fed into the cylinders of a piston engine driving the power. Since nothing combusts, there is no pollution. The Nano with the air powered engine will travel 200 km/h for about $3 worth of electricity. Since environmentalists have worried that the super cheap Tata will overrun India, the company responded with this alternative.

Below are four more air-powered cars.
