Cute idea, but does it actually work? Article needs more info. --John Nagle 03:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

This is the worst wikipedia article I have yet seen. "Leads one to believe"? Real encyclopediac there.24.165.210.213 04:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] As of Jan 2008

Looks like MDI no longer exists. Most of the links now redirect to aircar, which doesn't make air cars at all! Maybe we need to chaneg this article to the past tense. Greg Locock (talk) 01:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, well actually it looks more complex than that. The air car website is now a different organisation, which makes scooters etc, to MDI. Most of the links in the article are busted. Greg Locock (talk) 02:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
From the http://www.mdi.lu site
WARNING
Following serious commercial misconducts from Mr. Miguel Celades, MDI had to officially stop all relationships with him since 3rd February 2008.
Any reference by Mr Miguel CELADES and/or his companies « Motor de Aire Comprimido S.L. »and “Air Cars Factories SL” and/or his websites “motordeaire . com” and “theaircar .com” , whether directly or indirectly to construction or sales of compressed air engines and/or vehicles using this technology in relation with MDI (Motor Development International constitutes serious charges of unfair competition and fraud.
Mr Miguel CELADES, former MDI agent in Spain and Spanish-speaking countries, is attempting to use the goodwill and success of MDI in order to mislead potential investors for his own benefit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.86.148.121 (talk) 03:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MiniCAT.jpg

Image:MiniCAT.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] MiniCAT

  • [...] the MiniCAT has a range of 100 miles and a maximum speed of 95 MPH. The top speed is 110 km/h, with a range of 108 km.

Well, make up your mind!

  • The time of recharging is 4 h.

The what of what? Battery charge time perhaps?

  • on the sector.

On the what? Grid power perhaps? How many phases? What voltage? How much current does it draw when charging?

  • The weight of the vehicle is 550 kg for a charge of 270 kg.

Charge? Do you mean payload? And does the indicated weight include the driver?

  • It is used for local commuting.

Regardless of its intended purpose, it isn't actually used for anything, since it does not exist.
