MAGAZINE EXPERIMENTAL AIR CAR

Built by George Barris of North Hollywood, California, the air car has caused more talk in the transportation industry than anything since the development of the jet engine.   It is a "ground effects" machine and rides on a five inch cushion of air. It can ride on water as well as land, has no wheels, transmission or rear-end and has no frictional moving parts. Air is drawn in through the front and rear openings into the open plenum chamber with outlets, through a combination of peripheral jet inserts. A four inch polyethylene circular skirt is installed on the under portion of the body.   Frame construction is of 3/4 inch alloy round tubing. The air car's dimensions are: 12 feet long; 6 feet wide and 30 inches high. Its stabilizer fins have an 8 foot 7 inch wing span, 57 inches high. All panels are hand formed from .040 half-hard aluminum.   Its power source is 2 jet aircraft starter motors, 24 volts D.C., 4 h.p., that turn 40,000 rpm at 300 amps. This is then reduced 8 to 1 to absorb the amount of load horsepower. Balanced 20 inch cast aluminum fans push 11,800 C.I.M. free flow and under 7/8 inch static water pressure has 7,600 C.I.M.   Dry weight of the car is 422 pounds including all accessories. Movement is obtained by a revolving jet nozzle which has an air thrust to the right, left, forward, reversed and stop.   Scoop on top houses a penta-prism rear-view mirror which can be seen from inside the cab. Headlight is a curved fluorescent triple-tube which throws a clear light 100 feet ahead and causes no glare to approaching vehicles.   Air stream indicators are mounted on the grille to register speed while the car is moving through the air. Contoured body is of unbreakable fibre-glass and bucket seats boast a waist-high safety belt. Air foam cushions in the upholstery are mounted throughout for safety and the floor has white plush carpeting. There is also an impact-resistant adjustable air foam headrest on a gold coil spring.   The air car also has Phono-vision, the new dial telephone with a TV screen to enable caller to see who he is talking to when dialing with the double-transistor TV camera and microphone. The 6 sq. inch TV screen is mounted on the dashboard and is operated on any wave length from a transformer.   A radar screen is also mounted on the dashboard, sending out waves to pick up the size of any obstruction on the highway or terrain.   The complete car is operated by sound waves and controls will be demonstrated by a small push-button box 50 feet away from it. Starting, stopping, right and left turns and operation of the neon and fluorescent lighting system is all handled by wireless remote control.   Body paint of nitro-cellulose lacquer consists of 35 coats using a million particles of a chromed aluminum called "Metalflake." The fins have 30 coats of imported Swedish pearl essence made of crushed fish scales and added crushed diamond-dust and then colored in kandy translucent red, white and blue.   This particular model was designed and built for public demonstration and is mounted on a guide rail for safety's sake.   All exterior trim has been gold plated for added beauty.   The engineering and styling on this car is a prediction of things to come in the auto industry.
