TATA Air Car

A car that runs on air, in India soon

A car that runs on air could soon be a reality for Indians.

Tata Motors has signed an agreement with Moteur Development International of France to develop a car that runs on compressed air, thus making it very economical to run and be almost totally pollution free.

Although there is no official word on when the car will be commercially manufactured for India, reports say that it will be sooner than later.

The car -- MiniCAT -- could cost around Rs 350,000 in India and would have a range of around 300 km between refuels. The cost of a refill would be about Rs 90.

An overview of the air car

The technology that MDI vehicles use is not really new. Compressed air technology allows for engines that are both non-polluting and economical.

After ten years of research and development, MDI is prepared to introduce its clean vehicles onto the market. Unlike electric or hydrogen powered vehicles, MDI vehicles are not expensive and do not have a limited driving range. MDI cars are affordable and have a performance rate that stands up to current standards. To sum it up, they are non-expensive cars that do not pollute and are easy to get around cities in.

Two technologies have been developed to meet different needs:

  • Single energy compressed air engines.
  • Dual energy compressed air plus fuel engines.

The single energy engines will be available in both MiniCATs and CityCATs. These engines have been conceived for city use, where the maximum speed is 50 km/h and where MDI believes polluting will soon be prohibited.

The duel energy engine, on the other hand, has been conceived as much for the city as the open road and will be available in all MDI vehicles. The engines will work exclusively with compressed air while it is running under 50 km/h in urban areas. But when the car is used outside urban areas at speeds over 50 km/h, the engines will switch to fuel mode. The engine will be able to use gasoline, gas oil, bio diesel, gas, liquidized gas, ecological fuel, alcohol, etc.

Both engines will be available with 2, 4 and 6 cylinders, When the air tanks are empty the driver will be able to switch to fuel mode, thanks to the car's on board computer.

How does it work?

MDI explains that 90m3 of compressed air is stored in fibre tanks. The engine is powered by compressed air, stored in a carbon-fiber tank at 30 MPa (4500 psi). The tank is made of carbon-fiber in order to reduce its weight. The engine has injection similar to normal engines, but uses special crankshafts and pistons, which remain at top dead center for about 70 degrees of the crankshaft's cycle; this allows more power to be developed in the engine.

The expansion of this air pushes the pistons and creates movement.  The atmospheric temperature is used to re-heat the engine and increase the road coverage. The air conditioning system makes use of the expelled cold air. Due to the absence of combustion and the fact there is no pollution, the oil change is only necessary every 50 000 km.

The car

  • The end product is a light weigh vehicle that can reach speeds up to 220 kmph.
  • MDI's vehicle's have fibreglass bodies which makes them light, silent urban car. The car's body is tubular, light weight, and is held together using aerospace technology.
  • The vehicles do not have normal speed gauges. Instead, they will have a small computer screen that shows the speed and engine revolutions. The system allows for infinite possibilities such as GSM telephone systems, GPS satellite tracking systems, programs for delivery people, emergency systems, internet connections, voice recognitions, map presentation, traffic information, etc.
  • The seatbelt system is different from what we know. One part of the belt is anchored to the floor of the car, like traditional cars. The other part of the belt, in stead of being attached to the side of the car, is also anchored to the floor of the vehicle. This helps to secure the bodies of the driver and passengers in the case of a collision.
  • The vehicle's electric system is also revolutionary. MDI has bought a patent that is bound to reduce the important of electrical systems in all cars. The trick consists in using a small radio signal. The system makes the car 20 kilos lighter and considerably quieter.
  • There are no keys - just an access card that can be read by the car from your pocket.
  • In the single energy mode MDI cars consume around Rs 45 every 100 km.
  • When there is no combustion, there is no pollution. The vehicle's driving range is close to twice that of the most advanced electric cars (from 200 to 300 km or 8 hours of circulation).
  • The recharging of the car will be done at gas stations, once the market is developed. To fill the tanks it will take about to 2 to 3 minutes at a price of Rs 90. After refilling the car will be ready to driver 200 kms.
  • The car also has a small compressor that can be connected to an electrical network (220V or 380V) and will recharged the tanks completely in 3 or 4 hours.
  • Because the engine does not burn any fuel the car's oil (a litre of vegetable) only needs to be changed every 50,000 km.
  • The temperature of the clean air expulsed form the exhaust pipe is between 0 and 15 degrees below zero and can be subsequently channelled and used for air conditioning in the interior of the car.

MiniCAT

The smallest and most innovative: three seats, minimal dimensions with the boot of a saloon: a great challenge for such a small car which runs on compressed air. The MiniCAT is the city car of the future.

Specifications:

  • Airbag, air conditioning, ABS, 3 seats, 1.5 m3. 
  • Dimensions: 2.65m, 1.62m, 1.64m
  • Weight: 750 kg 
  • Maximum speed: 110 kmh 
  • Mileage: 200 - 300 km 
  • Maximum load:   270 Kg 
  • Recharging time:   4 hours (Mains connector) 
  • Recarge: 3 minutes (Air station)  

CityCAT

A spacious car with seats which can face different directions. The vehicle s design is based on the needs of a typical family.

Characteristics:

  • Airbag, air conditioning, 6 seats. 
  • Dimensions: 3.84m, 1.72m, 1.75m 
  • Weight: 750 kg  
  • Maximum speed: 110 kmh 
  • Mileage: 200 - 300 km 
  • Max load:   500 Kg 
  • Recharge time:   4 hours (Mains connector) 
  • Recharge time: 3 minutes (Air station)

The MDI Group

The MDI Group is headed by Guy Negre, a former Formula One engineer. MDI is a small, family-controlled company, founded in Luxembourg but now located at Carros, near Nice (southern France) where Guy and Cyril Negre, together with their technical team, have developed a new engine technology with the purpose of economising energy and respect severe ecological requirements -- at competitive costs.

Fwd: A Lecture

Once A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water
in it.

He held it up for all to see; asked the students, "How much do you
think this glass weighs?

'50gms!' ?....'100gms!' .....'125gms' ......the students answered.



'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor, 'but, my
question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few
minutes?' "Nothing" the students said.



OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the
professor asked.

Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.

You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?' Your arm
could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis; have to
go to hospital for sure! ventured another student ; all the students
laughed.



Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?

Asked the professor. No replied the students Then what caused the arm
ache; the muscle stress?' Instead What should I do?

The students were puzzled. Put the glass down! said one of the
students.

Exactly!' said the professor' Life's problems are something like this.

Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK. Think of them for
a long time; they begin to ache. Hold it even longer; they begin to
paralyze you.



You will not be able to do anything.



It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before
you go to sleep.

That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh; strong;
can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

Remember friend- PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!



That's life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love in mental hospital

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound judgement that you have a sound mind. The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?

IIM Student


A beautiful teacher was having trouble with one of her students in 1st Grade class. She asked,"Boy. what is your problem?"
Boy answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade.My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 4th Grade!"
Madam had enough. She took the Boy to the principal's office. While the Boy waited in the outer office, madam explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Madam he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his
questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.She agreed.
the Boy was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Boy.: "9".
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Boy.: "36".
And so it went with every question the principal thought a 4th grade should know. The principal looks at Madam and tells her, "I think Boy can go to the 4th grade."
Madam says to the principal, "I have some of my own questions.
Can I ask him ?" The principal and Boy both agreed.

Madam asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of"?
Boy, after a moment "Legs."

Madam: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
Boy.: "Pockets."

Madam: What starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval,
delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?
Boy.: Coconut

Madam: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft And sticky?
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Boy was taking charge.
Boy.: Bubblegum

Madam: What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?

The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...
Boy.: Shake hands

Madam: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do.
Boy.: Tent

Madam: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first.

The Principal was looking restless, a bit tense and took one large Patiala Vodka peg.
Boy.: Wedding Ring

Madam: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good.
Boy.: Nose


Madam: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver.
Boy.: Arrow

Madam: What word starts with a 'F' and ends in 'K' that means lot of heat and excitement?
Boy.: Firetruck

Madam: What word starts with a 'F' and ends in 'K' & if u dont get it, u have to use
ur hand.
Boy.: Fork

Madam: What is it that all men have one of it's longer on some men than on others, the pope doesn't use his and a man gives it to his wife after they're married?
Boy.: SURNAME.

Madam: What part of the man has no bone but has muscles, has lots of veins, like pumping, & is responsible for making love ?
Boy.: HEART.

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to the teacher,

"Send this Boy to
IIM AHEMEDABAD,
I got the last ten questions wrong myself!". 
 

Heart Attacks and drinking warm water....

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal,
but about heart attacks. This makes sense.. the Chinese and
Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time
we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!

Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold
water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold
drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff
that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this
"sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the
intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very
soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot
soup or warm water after a m! eal.

A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart
attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of
intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be
aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

Isn't it strange ?

Isn't it strange how Rs. 20/=
seems like such a large
amount when
you donate it to temple, but
such a small amount
when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours
seem so long when
you're at place of worship, and how
short they seem when you're
watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't
find a word to say when
you're praying,
but you have no trouble
thinking what to talk about
with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult
and boring it is to read
one chapter of
the Bible/ Quran / Gita, but how easy
it is to read 100 pages of
a popular novel?

Isn't it strange how everyone
wants front-row-tickets
to concerts or
games, but they do whatever
is possible to sit at the last
row in a holy place?

Isn't it strange how we need to
know about an event for
temple 2-3
weeks before the day so we can
include it in our agenda, but we can
adjust it for other events in
the last minute?

Isn't it strange how difficult it
is to learn a fact about
God to share it
with others, but how easy
it is to learn, understand,
extend and repeat gossip?

Isn't it strange how we
believe everything
that magazines and newspapers
say, but we question the words in the
Bible and other holy books?

Isn't it strange how everyone
wants a place in
heaven, but they don't want
to believe, do, or say anything
to get there?

Isn't it strange how we send
jokes in e-mails
and they are forwarded
right away,
but when we are going to send
messages about God, we think
about it twice before we share
it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

Now that you've read this message,
forward it to anybody that you
consider a friend.

"We are each of us angels with only one wing.
And we can only fly while embracing each other."
Sharing and Caring endures human life

Belive it or not

Read this true Incident... and let everybody you know in and around
Delhi,
especially Gurgaon know this.......


My friend lives in Delhi... One day he went to Gurgaon to visit his


uncle for some days. One evening he and some other of my college
friends


went to Priya's for a movie. He had so much fun that he forgot that it
was


very late. He reached Gurgaon around midnight.... ..





He had to walk about a mile from where his friend dropped him.... As he
was


walking alone, he could sense that the night felt very creepy as it was
so


dark. While walking, he was astonished to see an old creepy looking guy


selling some books. It was a very unusual thing to see a thing like


that..... It got the shivers on him when he noticed that his old guy is


unusually pale and staring at him...


The old guy said "Son why don't you get a book...it would
keep you


company". Then he did something which he would regret for the rest of
his


life .........





My friend started to act brave & thought why not & had a look at his


collection.. he noticed that all the books were related to supernatural


activities.. .but he found one that was very interesting. So he asked
the


old man "how much is it?"....





The old guy replied, "Well son...this is an interesting book...it's
only


for Rs 250. "





My friend was shocked and said "but...but.. .it's expensive"





This time the old man stared which freaked my friend. My friend quickly


checked all his pockets & found Rs.200 & said "This is all


I hav e." The old guy replied "It's OK son ...you can have the book


for that price"





As ! my friend was just about to run for
home...the old man called


back & said "Son ... whatever happen, you don't ever flip the book


to it's last page... remember these words or you would regret
it...!!!!!"





My friend nodded and never looked back ... Reaching home...he


quickly asked his Uncle whether there was any new old book seller


nearby? The Uncle replied "not that I know of but ...we've heard that


there's 1 old man comes once in a while during full moon nights but
heard


that there is something creepy about it...why son?"





My friend freaked out... he told his uncle "nothing uncle...just


asking". He started reading the book with the old man's words on


his mind. At night, 2 o'clock, as he went to bed, a gush of wind blew
which


chilled him up to his bones. At that glimpse, he noticed the wind had
blown


the pages to its last page. He
remembered what the old man has said!
But we


humans tend to have the tendency to know. Out of curiosity, he flipped
to


the last page & fainted...





What he saw at the last page is stated below:


Don't look further down if you have a weak heart I warn you


























































































































..........


Original price:-- Rs. 20/-


Promotion price:-- Rs. 10/-

Does Management really know their Staffs?

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young
Boy leaning against the wall, doing nothing. *

*He approached the young man and calmly said to him,
How much do you earn?"

The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal
question,
he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2 000.00 a month, Sir.   Why?"

Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $ 6000.00
cash
then gave it to the young man and said:
"Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking
pretty!  Here is 3 months 'salary', now GET OUT and don't come back".

The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight.
Noticing a Few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner:
"And that applies for everybody in this company".

He approached one of the onlookers and asked him,
"Who's the young man that I just fired?"
To which an amazing reply came of, "He was the pizza delivery man,
Sir...!"*

*He surprises... and walks away!!*

Indian government wants people to use this tool

Government of India has an online Grievance forum at http://darpg-grievance.nic.in/

The government wants people to use this tool to highlight the problems they faced while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc etc.

I know many people will say that these things don't work in India , but this actually works as one of the person in CSC ( Chennai Satyam Center ) found. The guy I'm talking about lives in Faridabad . Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in his area and the residents were very happy about it. But 2 weeks later, BSNL dugged up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the residents including this guy. But it was only this guy who used the above listed grievance forum to highlight his concern. And to his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of faridabad was served a show cause notice and the guy received a copy of the notice in one week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as its clear that both the government departments were not in sync at all.
So use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility.

This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the ' System' in India . Invite your friends to contribute for many such happenings.

SELF APPRAISAL

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone.  

He climbed onto the carton so that  he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits.  The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation: The boy asked, "Lady,  Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn? The woman replied, "I already have  someone to cut my lawn." "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the  person who cuts your lawn now." replied boy. The woman responded that she was  very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her  lawn.   

 
 The little boy found more  perseverance and offered, "Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so  on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida." Again the woman answered in the  negative. With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The  store-owner, who was listening to all, walked over to the boy and said, "Son...  I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a  job." The little boy replied, "No thanks, I was just checking my performance  with the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was  talking to!"

Eye Care "20-20-20" Important

This info' is sure to help PC users very much.

During a recent visit to an optician, one of my friends was told of an exercise for the eyes by a specialist doctor in the US that he termed as 20-20-20." It is apt for all of us, who spend long hours at our desks,
looking at the computer screen.
I Thought I'd share it with you. 20-20-20
Step I :-

After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes.
Step II :-

Try and blink your eyes for 20 times in succession, to moisten them.
Step III :-

Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body.

Circulate among your friends if you care for them and their eyes. They say that your eyes r mirror of your soul, so do take care of them, they are priceless................ 

Valentine's special..



Once, there was this guy, who was in love with a gal. She wasn't the most beautiful and  

gorgeous but for him, she was everything.  

He used to dream about her,  write about her and prepared spending the rest of life with her. 

He kept her happy admist few sweet fights, given her few pleasant surprises and spent more time with her.

He want to give the love & care to the rest of her Life. His friends told him,  

"why do you dream so much about her, when you don't even know if she loves you or not?  

First tell her your feelings, and get to know if she likes you or not".  

He felt that was the right way. The girl knew from the beginning, that this guy loves her. 

She used to tell it to her friends.

 

One day when he proposed, she rejected him. She behaved so differently and

she started avoiding and kept distance from him.

His friends thought he would take to alcohol; drugs etc. and ruin his life.

To their surprise, he was not depressed.

 When they asked him how was it that he is not sad, he replied,  

"'why should I feel bad? I lost one who never loved me & she lost the one  

who really loved and cared for her."  

 

 Never Cry for One Who Makes You Cry  !  

There is someone who loves you more than God !!

MEN ARE BETTER FRIENDS

Women: A wife was not at home for a whole night. So, the very next
morning, she tells her husband that she stayed at her girlfriend's
apartment over night. The husband calls 10 of her best girlfriend's
and none of them confirm that.

Men: A husband was not at home for a whole night. So he tells his wife
the very next morning, that he stayed at his friend's apartment over
night. So the wife calls 10 of his best friends: 5 of them confirm
that he stayed at their apartments that night, and the other 5 are
claiming that he still is there with them!

Apprehensions can be wrong!

It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils.

The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Flowers." "That's right!" the boy said,

"But, how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said.

The next pupil was the sweet shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets."

"That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher.

The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. "Is it champagne?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?" With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!

Lefortovo Tunnel in Russia

The 3,150 m long Lefortovo Tunnel in Russia is the longest 'in-city' tunnel in all of Europe. There is a river running over it and water leaks at some points. When the temperature reaches minus 38 degrees like it did last winter, the road freezes and the result is the attached video taken during a single day with the tunnel camera. Congratulations to the driver of the dual bus!!

Soft drinks....killing me softly

Please read this. An interesting piece of information. ......
Have a look at the wrapper on a Coca-Cola 1.5 liter bottle and in the
ingredients label you will find phosphoric acid in it. Minute
quantities of ethylene glycol are also used (which is acknowledged
in the soft drink world for making it really chill).
This is popularly known as anti-freeze which prevents water from
freezing at 0 deg C and instead drops it 4-5 degrees with minute
quantities. This chemical is a known slow poison in the caliber of
arsenic.
So, if you manage to drink about 4 liters of Coke within an hour or
so, you can die. Read along and give up these dangerous things. Be
natural; have flavored milks, tender coconuts, buttermilk, lassi and
plain water instead of these "soft" drinks. Guess what's the pH for
soft
drinks, e.g. Coke? PH 3.4! This acid ity is strong enough to dissolve
teeth and bones! Our human body stops building bones at the age of
about 30. Softdrinks do not have any nutrition value (in terms of
vitamins & minerals). It is high in sugar content, carbonic acid,
chemicals i.e. colorings etc.
Some like to take cold soft drinks after each meal. Guess what's the
impact? Our body needs an optimum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius
for digestive enzyme functioning. The temperature of cold soft drinks
is
very much below 37 degrees or even close to 0 degrees Celsius. This
will

dilute the enzymes & stress the digestive system. The food taken will
not
be digested. In fact it will be fermented! The fermented food produces
gases, decays and becomes toxin, gets absorbed by the intestine,
circulates in the blood stream and is carried to the whole body. Hence
toxin is cumulated in other parts of the body, developing into various
diseases.
Think before you drink coke/Pepsi (or any soft drink) again.
Have you ever thought what you drink when you drink an aerated drink?
You gulp down carbon dioxide, when nobody in the world would advise
you
to drink CO2. Two months back, there was a competition at Delhi
University "Who could drink the most Coke?" The winner drank 8 bottles
and fainted on the spot-too much CO2 in the blood. Thereafter, the
principal
banned all soft drinks from the college canteen!

While this might have been an extreme measure, their results do
provide some food for thought. Did you know that soft drinks use
chemicals in them that cause immense harm to you. Someone put a broken
tooth in a
bottle of Pepsi and in 10 days it DISSOLVED! Can you believe it? Teeth
and bones are the only human parts that stay intact for years after
death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines
and
stomach lining!

Request to all: Forward this message to your friends to increase the
awareness of the great "Assumed soft drinks". In India, people
hesitate
to
pay Rs.7-8/- for a tender coconut but prefer to pay Rs. 10/- and drink
these dreadful products.
