A company in India is starting to mass produce the first air powered car. Rather than run on electricity, gasoline, or hydrogen, this car runs on compressed air. It will go up to 68 miles per hour, and has a range or about 125 miles on a single tank. You can refuel it anywhere you can get access to compressed air. It also has a built in air compressor that can be run by simply plugging it in. The built in air compressor takes about 4 hours to “refuel” the car. So it’s something you would want to do overnight.
The cool thing about this car, is that it is completely emissions free. Whether you believe strongly in the dangers of global warming, or not, you have to agree that anything that cuts down on pollution is a good thing. Of course, the electricity that is used to produce the compressed air has to come from somewhere. So if it comes from a dirty coal burning plant, then all you have done is shift the pollution away from you.

Do you ever find yourself having to give a gift to someone who has everything? You know, the kind of person who buys anything he or she wants? And if they haven’t already bought it, then the item is way out of your price range. So you end up getting them a gift card to someplace that you know they shop. Really a cop out gift because you can’t figure out what to give them. You put it in a card and bring it to the party. You almost feel embarrassed about giving it to them. So you kind of slip it to them when no one is looking, or simply slide it in with the other gifts and hope he or she doesn’t open it until later. Well, I want one of those has the perfect gift for you. Nothing. As you can see, nothing comes in a nice white package. The slogan even tells you that “less is more.” Sounds like the perfect gift. Now at least he or she can laugh at your gift. Though I think I would also add a gift card.
