Airpod.jpeg

The Airpod is a new entry into the alternative car market. It’s small and futuristic looking like many other models, but with one key difference: it runs on air.

Sound too good to be true? Well it’s no joke. India’s Tata Motors is developing the concept car that contains a pneumatic motor that uses pressurized air to drive the pistons. Aside from the “free” fuel, emissions are virtually non existent.
