Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires.

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires.This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology: a... no more air valvesa... no more air compressors at gas stations and no more repair kitsS

CLICK BELOW AND SEE.These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin. It will be awhile before they are available to the automotive industry.

Secure Your Car by Not Using the Electronic Lock on Your Key Chain

I locked my car --- as I walked away I heard my car door unlock I went back and locked my car again three times. I looked around and there were two guys sitting in a car in the fire lane next to the store. When I looked straight at them they did not unlock my car again.

How to lock your car safely...

While traveling, my son stopped at a roadside park. He came out to his car less than 4-5 minutes later and found someone had gotten into his car, and stolen his cell phone, laptop computer, GPS navigator briefcase - you name it. He called the police and since there were no signs of his car being broken into, the police told him that there is a device that robbers are using now to clone your security code when you lock your doors on your car using your key-chain locking device. They sit a distance away and watch for their next victim. They know you are going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom and have a few minutes to steal and run.

The police officer said to be sure to manually lock your car door-by hitting the lock button inside the car. That way if there is someone sitting in a parking lot watching for their next victim it will not be you. When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting, it does not send the security code. But if you walk away and use the door lock on your key chain, it sends the code through the airwaves where it can be stolen.

Be aware. Look how many times we all lock our doors with our keys. Just to be sure we remembered to lock them, and,bingo, someone has our code and whatever was in the car can be gone in minutes.

Keep safe everyone!

Third-generation Prius may have optional solar powered air conditioning

For you car buffs . . .

Toyota Motor Corp plans to install solar panels on its next-generation Prius hybrid cars, becoming the first major automaker to use solar power for a vehicle, the Nikkei business daily reported on earlier this month.

The paper said Toyota would equip solar panels on the roof of the high-end version of the Prius when it redesigns the gasoline-electric hybrid car early next year, and the power generated by the system would be used for the air conditioning.

Run Your Car on Water

It's a little off topic, but I wanted to make people aware of this apparently recent development.In the past 6 months people have been converting their cars, trucks and other motorized equipment to run by the power of water! Thats right you diddnt read that wrong, I did say run on water.

Basically you create a hydrogen generator which isnt too difficult, hook it up to the car in the correct manor and almost instantly double your miles per gallon.

Here is a video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFGhZNxdyDY.

So he gets 60MPG in a ford station wagon, thats very good, but with more efficient generators you could improve further. All the information regarding building, installing and running your new water powered car can be found on a ebook here: Water4Gas.com. The e-book costs a few dollars but is well worth it in the long run, converting to run on water is the future, why wait?

Convert now, learn how to do so at Water4Gas.com

Amazing Air Car

The Compressed Air Car developed by Motor Development International (MDI) Founder Guy Negre might be the best thing to have happened to the motor engine in years.

The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned Air Car models, can hit 68 mph and has a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor uni ts. MDI says it should cost only around $2 to fill the car up with 340 liters of air!

The Air Car will be starting production relatively soon, thanks to India 's TATA Motors. Forget corn! There's fuel, there's renewable fuel, and then there's user-renewable fuel! What can be better than air?

This five-seater car runs on compressed air, has zero pollution, very low running costs and will cost just over $5,000.
