This was necessary to have Reid Trummel serve as Chief Judge as he will be leading the Rally Tour on Wednesday. We only have one car entered so judging should take only 2 hours and should not conflict with the Sternwheeler Tour on Thursday .

This is a great example of thinking outside the box! If this "flys" the implications are tremendous and from a consumer's standpoint they are all good! I am now wondering how our elected officials are going to tax air. (Invest in compressor manufacturers) Tata Motors is ready to introduce the Air Car - Will it be the next big thing? Tata Motors is taking giant strides and making history for itself. First the Land Rover/Jaguar deal, then the world's cheapest car, and now it is also set to introduce the car that runs on compressed air. With spiraling fuel prices it is about time we heard some breakthrough! India's largest automaker, Tata Motors, is set to start producing the world's first commercial air-powered vehicle. The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy Nigre for Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air, as opposed to the gas-and-oxygen explosions of internal-combustion models, to push its engine's pistons. Some 6000 zero-emissions Air Cars are scheduled to hit Indian streets by August 2011. The Air Car, called the "MiniCAT" could cost around Rupees. 3,475,225 ($8,177.00) in India and would have a range of around 300 km between refuels. The cost of a refill would be about Rupees. 85 ($2.00) The MiniCAT which is a simple, light urban car, with a tubular chassis that is glued, not welded, and a body of fiberglass powered by a compressed air engine. Microcontrollers are used in every device in the car, so one tiny radio transmitter sends instructions to the lights, indicators, etc. There are no keys - just an access card which can be read by the car from your pocket. According to the designers, it costs less than 50 rupees per 100 Km (about a tenth that of a patrol car). Its mileage is about double that of the most advanced electric car (200 to 300 km or 10 hours of driving), a factor which makes a perfect choice in cities where 80% of motorists drive at less than 60 Km. The car has a top speed of 105 Kph. Refilling the car will, once the market develops, take place at adapted petrol stations to administer compressed air. In two or three minutes, and at a cost of approximately 100 rupees, the car will be ready to go another 200-300 kilometers. As a viable alternative, the car carries a small compressor which can be connected to the electric grid (220V or 380V) and refill the tank in 3-4 hours. Due to the absence of combustion and, consequently, of residues, changing the oil (1 liter of vegetable oil) is necessary only every 50,000 Km). The temperature of the clean air expelled by the exhaust pipe is between 0-15 degrees below zero, which makes it suitable for use by the internal air conditioning system with no need for gases or loss of power.

One end is squared flat, while the other is half-rounded to match the ???????? inside/outside of the unit. Should the half-round end point in or out? The unit exploded into my lap during my efforts to photograph the situation. I've been able to reconstruct the majority of the horn, but need to know the orientation of these two metal pieces.
