    Attention The motorbike that runs on air

    YouTube - LOL - Motorbike Which Runs On Air

    Engineering students in India have developed a pollution-free motorbike, called the air bike which runs by using air pressure.
    Equipped with two compressed air cylinders, the 100cc bike currently runs at a speed of 18km per hour, but the students hope to make it faster.

    How is that pollution free.

    Do they squeeze the air into the cylinders by hand?

    I was interested to see what indias` power production stats where , I would have thought Solar would be a good idea there. But looking at their own estimates even in the future coal is their biggest fuel supply, with nuclear sites more numerous than we have here


    (Data units “million tons equivalent in oil” or “MTEO”)
    Source: BP Statistical Year Review 2005
    and future estimates


    (Data units “million tons equivalent in oil” or “MTEO”)
    Source: Draft Report of the Expert Committee on Integrated
    Energy Policy
    , Planning Commission, Government of India
    still for all that a good start at least they re trying something

    im going to be picky but dont all cars and bikes run on air? remove air from the combustion process and all your going to get is a puddle of petrol,

    i would like a car though that runs on nothing but air, or water or even cheese as long as its cheaper than the money i waste on petrol. Its a medical condition you see and it forces me to waste fuel its an addiction really... its the combination of a lead foot and being addicted to speed so what can i do? ive heard withdrawals from people like me who have had speed addictions and the occasional lead foot where they spoke of things called a "bus" and a "train" but luckily for me they dont come close to where i live ... id have to "walk" to where they are lol
