    • Tata is about to start selling a compressed air car

      the car is not powered by petrol, batteries or anything, just compressed air..

      => The Air-Car

      would you buy one?

    • Sounds real good to me.

      I just hope it's not a lot of hot air. Stupid pun fully intended. icon_mrgreen.gif

      did you watch Mythbusters?

      the only way they could make a Propane tank explode was with incendiary rounds being fired from a minigun...

      now, compressed gas?

      I'm not sure about that .....

      during dive rescue training they'll show you pictures of ruptured scuba tanks .....

      it's a scary sight ....

      now they want to use compressed gas to run a car .... icon_confused.gif

      scuba tanks have oxygen and a bit of helium inside....

      tanks probably had flaws in them...

      they shot a propane tank full of holes with slugs from a shotgun, a few rounds from a  30.06 and more things... 9mm could not pierce the tank..

      actually, not really .... most times it's just normal compressed air ....

      sometimes augmented with a bit of oxygen, and we call it nitrox ....

      anything with helium (trimix) is mostly beyond the realm of recreational divers .....

      but a ruptured tank is still a scary sight .... imagine one rupturing in close proximity to you .... >.<
