Haryana engineering students invent oxygen-run bike

In a bid to promote green energy, some engineering students of Palwal city in Haryana have designed a motorbike that can run on oxygen.The idea originated with the need of alternate fuel, which can reduce the dependency on non-renewable fuels such as petrol and diesel."This bike is set apart from the others because its engine suffers no blast, nor does the temperature rise. The air is compressed and sent to the engine. The piston reciprocates to the air pressure leading to an up-down movement, making the flywheel run, and therefore, making the bike start," said Pratham Pal, one of the inventors.Devised as part of a college project, the bike can travel for about 500-600 kilometres at 100 litres at 300 PSI (pound-per-square-inch) of oxygen at the speed of 10-20 kilometres per hour.
