The 'Hybrid Air' system uses compressed air to move the car's wheels when driving under 43 mph (69 km/h). Peugeot said the new hybrid system should get up to 141 miles per gallon of gas. Models were claimed to start rolling out as early as 2016 Archived 2013-01-29 at the Wayback Machine. However, the head of the project left Peugeot in 2014 ...
Compressed air system with a PCM heat exchanger. [1] [2] Diagram of a compressed air system with a PCM heat exchanger. A compressed-air car is a compressed-air vehicle powered by pressure vessels filled with compressed air. It is propelled by the release and expansion of the air within a motor adapted to compressed air.
The resulting air expansion is used to move a piston or turbine and turn the crankshaft. [1] The Eolo car would use electricity and the air around the car to re-fill the compressed air tanks, which could take up to two hours. [1]
A flying car or roadable aircraft is a type of vehicle which can function both as a road vehicle and as an aircraft. As used here, this includes vehicles which drive as motorcycles when on the road. The term "flying car" is also sometimes used to include hovercars and/or VTOL personal air vehicles. Many prototypes have been built since the ...
Maglev hover car, based on Tesla Model X. A hover car is a personal vehicle that flies at a constant altitude of up to a few meters (yards) above the ground and used for personal transportation in the same way a modern automobile is employed. The concept usually appears in science fiction.
The Tata OneCAT (Compressed Air Technology) was advertised as an upcoming compressed air car in 2008. India's Tata Motors was said to be collaborating with Air engine developer Guy Nègre of MDI to produce the vehicle. [1] The vehicle contains air tanks that can be filled in four hours by plugging the car into a standard electrical plug.

Comparing air and water, air has vastly lower heat capacity per gram and per volume (4000) and less than a tenth the conductivity, but also much lower viscosity (about 200 times lower: 17.4 × 10 −6 Pa·s for air vs 8.94 × 10 −4 Pa·s for water). Continuing the calculation from two paragraphs above, air cooling needs ten times of the ...
