AIR COMPRESSED CAR MDI

MDI (Motor Developement International) is a project initiated & directed by Man NEGRE the CEO of the company, this mechanical engineer started his career with researches on engines efficiency. Among his numerous creations, they keep in mind a rotary distribution gizmo for a R8 GORDINI which produced 152 HP at 11 000 rpm, his light aircraft engines (SACMA) & also the development of a three.5 liters W 12 engine, for Formula one races in the 80s. Throughout his career Man NEGRE, has designed hundred engines. Having in mind the protection of the planet, Man NEGRE has then concentrated his efforts towards the development of zero pollution engines & created MDI in 1991.The aims of this company are to promote & create ecological energies; conceive & produce non-pollutant vehicles & systems. Its study office develops new technologies & innovative production methods. MDI is the owner of numerous patents pertaining to the improvement of its compressed air engines & their technical environment; these patents are protected in 127 countries. The fruit of over0 years of researches, MDIs mono-energy engines operate on a eco-friendly basis using compressed air stored at high pressure. These engines are used on vehicles designed for urban use, backup generators or industrial tractors. They are tailored for applications where the torque has an importance & when an averagely moderate power is necessary. Together with the zero pollution engines, some other versions having the same technical basis have also been created by MDI, they are known as the dual-energy engines. In the case of dual-energy engines, an energetic adjuvant (petrol, diesel, oil, alcohol or gas) is burned in an outside continuous combustion chamber. These dual-energy engines have more range & the amount of poisonous gases released is low.

These engines will be fitted on production generators. Regarding the vehicles that will be operated using these engines; there will be no pollution when used in towns as they would be operating on the compressed air mode only. On the motorway these engines provide a nice range thanks to the combustion of the liquid or gas adjuvant. Less than Liters per hundred Kilometers (at 90 Km/h for MiniFlowAIR) Zero NOx, three to 4000 times less unburned HC compared to conventional engines. thrice less C02 emissions compared to classic engines. Finally based on this new expertise, MDI has imagined & developed a « thermodynamic theory » which will give rise to further improvement in the years to come, thus making a actual energetic revolution. Fifty engineers & technicians work on the compressed air vehicles with the support of TATA Motors, the exclusive licensee for MDIs technologies in India since 2007. The agreement provides that TATA will support the technologies final development & optimization for their use in India. All MDI engines have an active chamber & are protected worldwide by patents. They can be used for a variety of applications, varying from four to 75 hp. Hybrid cars will be an alternative for users who need more autonomy, greater travel at 100 kms.
