Compressed Air Vehicle
Project Abstract / Summary : Compressed air as a source of energy in different uses in general and as a non polluting fuel in compressed air vehicles.Air, which is abundantly available and is free from pollution, can be compressed to higher pressures at a very low cost.
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 Carâ€, 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.
A compressed air car is a car that uses a motor powered by Compressed Air. The car can be powered solely by air. The laws of physics dictate that uncontained gases will fill any given space. The easiest way to see this in action is to inflate a balloon . The elastic skin of the balloon holds the air tightly inside, but the moment you use a pin to create a hole in the balloon's surface, the air expands outward with so much energy that the balloon explodes. Compressing a gas into a small space is a way to store energy. When the gas expands again, that energy is released to do work. That's the basic principle behind what makes an air car move. This air car will almost certainly useCompressed Air Motor . Air car propelled with this engine will have tanks that will probably hold compressed air to about 11.03 bar pressure. Its accelerator operates a valve on its tank that allows air to be released into the hoses and then into the motor, where the pressure of the air's expansion will push against the vanes and turn the rotor. This will produce enough power for speeds
Why did you choose to work on this project topic : Fossil fuels (i.e., petroleum, diesel, natural gas and coal), which meet most of the world’s energy demand today, are being depleted rapidly. Also, their combustion products are causing global problems, such as the greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion, acid rains and pollution, which are posing great danger for our environment, and eventually, for the total life on our planet and The price of fueling air powered vehicles will be significantly cheaper than current fuels. Thats why we choose to work on this project.
