Even with the atmosphere condition, petroleum storage, and unstable gasoline costs, it is basic to investigate potential open doors in unconventional elective fuel vehicles. One such alternative is the "compressed air vehicle", or air powered vehicle, controlled by a pneumatic engine and on board high-pressure gas tank. Despite the fact that defenders guarantee that "Compressed Air Powered Vehicle" offer environmental and monetary advantages over traditional vehicles, the technology has as of not long ago not been dependent upon a thorough analysis. This study portrays the potential performance of "Compressed Air Powered Vehicle" in wording of fuel economy, driving reach, carbon impression, and fuel expenses and test lines their practicality as a transportation alternative as contrasted and gasoline and electric vehicles. Subjects of examination incorporate energy density of compressed air, thermodynamic misfortunes of development, "Compressed Air Powered Vehicle" proficiency on a siphon to-haggles to-wheels premise, and correlations with gasoline and electric vehicles. Results show that despite the fact that the "Compressed Air Powered Vehicle" is a bold, unconventional answer for the present transportation challenges, it is ultimately not functional, and contrasts ineffectively and fuel and electric vehicles in all natural and monetary measurements. Further, applications of the "Compressed Air Powered Vehicle" are seriously compelled in light of its constrained driving range. The outcomes from this examination, including the investigation of energy might be utilized to recognize future opportunities for "Compressed Air Powered Vehicle" applications. The siphon to-haggles to-wheels strategy contained here sets up a structure for assessing future "Compressed Air Powered Vehicle" plans.

Air compressed vehicle as it is popularly known has caught the attention of researchers worldwide and is ideal for city driving conditions. Motor development international (MDI) is a French company that holds international patent for compressed air operated vehicles. Even though it seems to be an eco-friendly solution, one must consider its well to wheel efficiency. While computing the overall efficiency of an air compressed vehicle, the electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered. Nevertheless, the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing air pollution in longer run.

Design of a Compressed Air Vehicle

International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2019

Smart mobility solutions aid the growth of smart cities by creating a better quality of life and reducing its environmental footprint. Emissions from petrol- and diesel-powered vehicles are a major contributor to the deterioration of air quality around the world. In addition to this, rising fuel prices continue to take a heavy toll on the pockets of the working class. A favourable countermeasure to this predicament is the fabrication of a vehicle that takes advantage of the earth’s most abundant resource “Air” as an energy source. The compressed air vehicle is an eco-friendly vehicle which works on air. This research work aims at designing a cheaper, more efficient and aesthetically appealing automobile while efficiently running on this renewable energy. The car model has been designed using the software solid works and tested on ANSYS workbench followed by rigorous trials to ensure its optimal performance and safety. The designed car can reach speeds ranging from 10-20 km/h while b...

Design and Fabrication of Compressed Air Vehicle

Now days the world faces fuel crisis and pollution problem. Also the conventional fuels are about to end in some years. This necessitates the search for alternative fuels. Compressed air is one of the best alternative fuels which are easily available in atmosphere in abundant form. The main objective of this project is to reduce dependency of vehicle on conventional fuel. The air car is a car currently being developed which is still in the R&D stage all over the world. Compressed air is stored in storage tank with some modifications from the compressor. The running and maintenance cost for air car is less than conventional cars. This is a revolutionary design which is not only ecofriendly, pollution free but also very economical.

This research aims to examine the performance of a car which takes air as the working medium. Air car is a car currently being developed which is still in the R&D stage all over the world. Review on the availability and the impact of the fossil fuels in the present and future generations led us to design a vehicle which runs by renewable energy sources. As the world is hard pressed with the energy and fuel crisis, compounded by pollution of all kinds, any technology that brings out the solution to this problem is considered as a bounty. In one of such new technologies, is the development of a new vehicle called as “Compressed Air Car”, which does not require any of the known fuels like petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG, hydrogen etc., this works on compressed air. This replaces all types of till date known fuels and also permanently solves the problem of pollution, since its exhaust is clean and cool air. Though some of the renewable energy sources like solar energy, bio fuels are currently in practice, we focused on pneumatic technology. Since pneumatic applications are wide all over the world, basic components and other equipment are easily available and the fabrication is not so tough. The basic principle involved in this concept is that compressed air is capable enough to provide sufficient thrust which in turn can propel the car. This report is a detailed description of the fabrication, working and testing of the compressed air car.

Design Prototype Model of Pneumatic Vehicle Compressed Air as Fuel

The pneumatically operated vehicle is used to save the non-renewable sources of energy and stop the environmental pollution, which is harmful for human beings. Now a days battery operated vehicles used in all manufacturing industries has disadvantages like high weight, takes more time to charge the battery, critical connection of switches and relays. It requires more maintenance. These problems are solves in pneumatically operated vehicle which has low weight, easy circuits, takes less time for refuelling and requires less maintenance. The Compressed Air Powered Vehicle works on the principle of the compressed Air Technology (CAT). This energy can be utilized for useful purposes. When this compressed air expands, the energy is released to do work. By using the above Concept we are designed a prototype model of pneumatically operated vehicle. In this system a double acting pneumatic cylinder is operated as a slider crank mechanism which converts the linear reciprocation of the cylind...

Compressed Air Engine: Future -Environment Friendly Transportation- A Review

International journal of engineering research and technology, 2021

Global warming is the major problem to be faced by the world today. One of the main factors contributing is the emissions from vehicles i.e. vehicles owned by common people are the Major cause of global warming. Internal combustion engine produces a large amount of harmful gases like CO2, SO2 etc. Which pollute the environment and it consumes enormous non-renewable energy. So today every country is in search of alternative source of energy and there are couple of alternate sources of energy such as solar power, tidal power, geo-thermal power, etc. and one of them is compressed air .A compressed-air vehicle is powered by an air engine, using compressed air, which is stored in a tank. However, the main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel is required that means no combustion process is taking place, thus the compressed air vehicle will play important role in reducing air pollution.
