O2 Pursuit Motorcycle Powered by Air Runs 62 Miles Non-Stop at Top Speeds of 87mph
A bike that runs on air with a top speed of 87 mph, is something that every green enthusiast will love to ride on. O2 Pursuit is one such motorcycle designed and developed by Dean Benstead, a RMIT University graduate. The mechanism of the bike is based on a compressed-air engine built by Engineair, an Australian company and a standard scuba diving tank. Benstead has shared that on one charge of the canister with a compression of 3000 PSI, that powers his modified Yamaha WR250R bike, he has been able to achieve a range of 62 miles and top speeds of 87mph. How cool is that! Getting a pat on the back, Benstead's technology behind this eco-friendly bike has been nominated for a #-Link-Snipped-#.

Powering vehicles with air, is something that scientists and engineers across the globe are experimenting with. The recent and a very popular example is the AirPod car by Tata that had top speeds of 47 mph and has a great future to be run on the streets in India. But, like every other green tech around, O2 Pursuit has its own shortcomings too. Being powered by compressed air, the certain amount of power required to produce it as densely as is necessary, the current infrastructure isn't quite supportive. But, engineers meddling with this technology will surely come up with a solution sooner or later. Till then, you may want to check out this video to see Benstead opening the tank, ringing the throttle letting air into heat exchange unit on to the Di Pietro engine -
