While politicians in U.S.A. keep lobbying on behalf of billionaire oil companies, a visionary inventor is hard at work on his proposal to run a motor with compressed air. Science fiction novelist Jules Verne predicted aero-cars and aero-buses. Ironically, inventor Francis Guy Negre shares the same birth date as Verne. Guy Negre, PDG, is founder of MDI Group. Negre, along with his son Cyril Negre and about 30 engineers are hard at work to make the compressed air engine a modern day reality selling zero-emission cars.
Negre is no novice to the arena, Negre worked in aeronautics during the 1980s, later shifting to cars and Formula 1 racing development, where he designed a (double V) 12 cylinder engine with a revolving valve system. In Luxembourg, around 1991, he produced a “dual-energy” engine running petrol and compressed air technology, which formed the start of MDI Enterprises S.A.
