COST ANALYSIS

MDI PRODUCTION PLANTS
The first manufacturing plant at Carros Industrial Park, near Nice, France
  • Turn- key franchise / license, modular and networked
  • Central facilities produce key components (Engine Blocks, composite high pressure cylinders etc)
     
  • Point -of-sale decentralised plants produce vehicles (Air Cars) & power generators (iPower) 
    •  A 4,350 m2 plant can produce over 7,000 vehicles per year
    • Or 25,000 power generators (= 300 MW of generation capacity) per year

Each Plant will have

  • Chassis workshop

  • Bodyworks- and assembly workshop

  • Painting line

  • Mechanical machining workshop

  • Mechanical assembly

  • Assembly line

  • Saddlery - upholstery

  • Tanks workshop

REFUELING THE COMPRESSED AIR TANKS

We expect that within three years,
MDI will have implemented new versions of its technology
enabling its engines to run on energy 100 per cent derived from solar sources.

  • In the future look for a solar element to this process

 

  • Refueling at air filling station at local service station or dept store

 

  • Refueling stations near wind farms

  • Home based Compressed Air iPower units supplying your household, refueling your car and excess generation going back into the power gird’

 

  • Turbines can be installed alongside fast flowing rivers and air filling stations located on river banks.

    Imagine such air filling stations on Amazon in Brazil, and air engine being used by river transport, think what this would do for the environment and help preserve the jungles from pollution!

Special pumps are needed to fill the compressed air tanks. Service station tyre pumps would not have a hope. They are mostly 1 to 2 bar and some up to 3 bar. The nearest is a scuba tank pump but it would be very slow.

  • Tyre pumps 1 to 3 bar

  • Scuba tanks 150 to 200 bar

  • Air Car tanks 300 bar

Compressed Air is stored, at 300 bar, (4,500 psi) in composite cylinders and delivered to the MDI engines
at 10 to 30 bar.
