A car which runs on air

Egypt students design car that runs on air.
Cairo: A group of Egyptian students has designed a vehicle that promote clean energy by running on nothing but air.
   The undergraduate students, who built the vehicle as part of thier graduation project from Helwan University just outside Cairo, are rolling out a prototype one-person vehicle that runs on compressed oxygen.
   The go-kart-like vehicle comes as Egypt pushes ahead wih painful economic reforms that include deep cuts to energy subsidies, measures tied to a three years $12 billion IMF loan programme which began in late 2016.
   The students say their vehicle can hit 40 km an hour and last 30 km before needing to be refuelled,and costs about 18,000 Egyptian pounds to build.
   “The operational cost of the vehicle...will be almost nothing. You are basically using compressed air. You are not paying for fuel and also you do not need cooling,”said Mahmoud Yasser, a student.
   The team is now looking to raise funding to mass produce the vehicle.
