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...

Study and Fabrication of Compressed Air Engine

As the world is hard pressed with the energy and fuel crises, compounded by pollution of all kinds, any technologies that bring out the solutions to this problem is considered as a bounty. In one of such new technologies, is the development of a new engine called as compressed air engine which does not require any of the known fuels like diesel, petrol, CNG, LPG, hydrogen etc. this works using only compressed air. This replaces all types of to-date known fuels and also permanently solves the problems of pollution as its exhaust is clean and cool measured practically as low as 5ºC. A proto type, a horizontal, single cylinder low speed engine was modified to run on compressed air. Since this engine runs only on high pressure compressed air, the exhaust of which is undoubtedly only air, making it a zero pollution engine. No heat is generated because there is no combustion of fuel, hence this engine needs no cooling system and it result in reduced cost, weight, volume and vibration. Early cost analysis shows that it's very cost effective and the operational cost is ten times less than that of petrol or diesel. Experimental analysis were carried out on this modified engine to find out its performance characteristics like brake power, mechanical efficiency, overall efficiency, air to Air ratio, volumetric efficiency, cost analysis etc. Though the efficiencies were low as the frictional forces were high for the proto designed engine, however the concept can be applied on a professionally designed engine to improve its performance.

Design, Fabrication and Simulation of Compressed Air Hybrid Vehicle

Compressed Air Hybrid Vehicle is powered by two forms of Energy such as Pneumatic and Electrical. Efforts are being made by many developers and manufacturers to have a developed vehicle technology. So the new age of vehicle such as hybrid vehicle is necessary. The Electrical energy is provided by means of solar cells to battery and then to the electric motor. In the Electric motor, Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy which in turn is converted into kinetic energy. In the Pneumatic system, the working fluid is a gas which is compressed above atmospheric pressure to impact impart pressure energy to the molecules, such that pneumatic piston move front and back cause transverse motion which in turn is converted into kinetic energy by crank and chain mechanism. CAHV has zero emission and is ideal for city driving conditions. Although it seems to be an environment-friendly solution, one must consider its efficiency. Nevertheless, the compressed air hybrid vehicle will he...

This paper work deals with the Compressed-air vehicle as a pneumatic actuator that converts one form of energy into another. The Air Driven Vehicle is an eco-friendly vehicle which operates with compressed air. This Vehicle uses the expansion of compressed air to drive the pistons of the vehicle. An Air Driven Vehicle is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. There is no mixing of fuel with air as there is no combustion. An Air Driven Vehicle makes use of Compressed Air Technology for its operation The Compressed Air Technology is quite simple. If we compress normal air into a cylinder the air would hold some energy within it. This energy can be utilized for useful purposes. When this compressed air expands, the energy is released to do work. So this energy in compressed air can also be utilized to displace a piston. Compressed air propulsion may also be incorporated in hybrid systems, e.g., battery electric propulsion and fuel tanks to recharge the batteries. This kind of system is called hybrid-pneumatic electric propulsion. Additionally, regenerative braking can also be used in conjunction with this system.
