The AIRPOD is a three-wheel car that runs on the compressed air.
AIRPod is a prototype of an alternative fuel vehicle produced by Motor Development International. (MDI) and will be the first to leave the production line. It is designed as an zero-emission urban vehicle. It can be driven with a joystick,it can cost one euro(65-70 Rs) per 200km.
The car body/chassis is made of composite sandwich (glass fiber/ polyurethane form). The car weigh around 220 kg. Car's engine produces a maximum torque of 15Nm and is powered by a tank of compressed air ( which is a glass or carbon-fiber tank, holding 80Kg of air compressed to 300bars), which can be refilled through a charging station or taken in while driving with the help of an electric engine.The car has regenerative brakes which can recapture some energy during braking and store it in a battery.
The gear changes are automatic, powered by electronic system developed by MDI. The maximum speed it can attained is 70km/h.and refueling time is only 1.5 minute. It will have a range of around 160-300 km between refuels. It mileage is about double that of the most advance electric car (200 to 300km or 10 hours of driving ), a factor which makes a perfect choice in cities where 80% of motorists drive at least than 60 Km.
The AIRPod come in three models that with varying number of seats and amount of cargo storage while keeping the same basic chassis; AIRPod, AIRPod cargo, AIRPod Baby.
