| The amazing car that Dr. James Crowferd invented. |
You know it, as a matter of fact, we all know it: the plain and simple truth is gas prices are going up,
up, up. And income for many of us is just going down, down, down. Gas prices
just aren’t helping the situation. Well, Dr. James Crowferd of Vassar College,
USA might be an answer to your prayers! He has just made an astounding
discovery: how to make a car run on almost nothing but air. You read the last word right: AIR! The same oxygen we breathe
in and out every single day. How does the car, nicknamed the “Airway”, run on
air anyway? Well, first in order to get it to go, Dr. James decided to get rid
of another problem many of us have: trash build-up. First, all that the car
needs to start is some trash from that trash can you have sitting around (you
can kiss the garbage truck goodbye!). Simply put the trash in the same place
gas would normally go and then you’re off! After the car is running, air rushes
into the front of the car through a hole. The air rushing into the hole causes
little windmills inside the car to turn and the air comes bursting out the
back. “I invented this car because I have a vision – a clear, almost
new-looking earth with cleaner air and water,” says Dr. James. When I asked him
about the price of the car, he winced and said, “Well, I’m not really in this
for the money, but the prices at first are going to be a little high – around
$300,000,000, at least until they catch on. Then I plan to lower the price to
around $50,000. And if that works out, even lower.” So when this new cars start
to catch on, perhaps being “green” with our cars will be a breeze.
