Subject: Indian students invent bike that runs on air

Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 04:11:13 05/03/09 Sun Four Indian students at Guru Nanak Dev Polytechnic College have created a motorcycle that runs on air pressure. Powered by two compressed air cylinders, the bike has been designed to combat pollution levels. One of the students, Arshdeep Singh, said "Our professors had asked us to create something pollution free, economic and affordable to a common man, so we thought of inventing a bike that runs on air." The team said there is a potential for military use. Team member Balbir Singh added "Thermal cameras cannot detect this bike, making it safe for the Army. Also, the engine can run underwater and breathe air from its storage tank which in turn sucks it from the atmosphere." The 100cc bike only gives a top speed of 18 kilometres per hour, but its creators said they will be able to increase this after making technical changes.
