@skyadarkunte-ELwief • Jun 20, 2008
Within the next two years, you could see the first air-powered vehicle motoring through your town. Most likely, it will be the e.Volution car that is being built by Zero Pollution Motors. The cars have generated a lot of interest in recent years, and the Mexican government has already signed a deal to buy 40,000 e.Volutions to replace gasoline- and dieselpowered taxis in the heavily polluted City.
Makers of the e.Volution are marketing the vehicle as a low pollution or zero pollution car. However, there is still some debate as to what the environmental impact of these air-powered cars will be. Manufacturers suggest that because the cars run on air they are environmentally friendly. Critics of the air-powered car idea say that the cars only move the #-Link-Snipped-# from the car's exhaust to somewhere else, like an #-Link-Snipped-#. These cars do require <a href="https://science.howstuffworks.com/electricity.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">How Electricity Works | HowStuffWorks</a> in order for the air to be compressed inside the tanks, and fossil fuel power is needed to supply electricity.
The e.Volution is powered by a two-cylinder, compressed-air engine. The basic concept behind the engine is unique . it can run either on compressed air alone or act as an #-Link-Snipped-#. Compressed air is stored in carbon or glass fiber tanks at a pressure of 4,351 pounds per square inch (psi). This air is fed through an air injector to the engine and flows into a small chamber, which expands the air. The air pushing down on the pistons moves the crankshaft
Zero Pollution Motors is also working on a hybrid version of their engine that can run on traditional fuel in combination with air. The change of energy source is controlled electronically. When the car is moving at speeds below 60 kph, it runs on air. At higher speeds, it runs on a fuel, such as gasoline, diesel or natural gas.
Air tanks fixed to the underside of the vehicle can hold about 79 gallons (300 liters) of air. This compressed air can fuel the e.Volution for up to 124 miles (200 km) at a top speed of 60 miles per hour (96.5 kph). When your tank nears empty, you can just pull over and fill the e.Volution up at the nearest air pump. Using a household electrical source, it takes about four hours to refill the compressed air tanks. However, a rapid three-minute recharge is possible, using a high-pressure air pump.
The car's motor does require a small amount of #-Link-Snipped-#, about .8 liters worth that the driver will have to change just every 31,000 miles (50,000 km). The vehicle will be equipped with an <a href="https://auto.howstuffworks.com/automatic-transmission.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">How Automatic Transmissions Work | HowStuffWorks</a>, rear wheel drive, <a href="https://auto.howstuffworks.com/steering2.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rack-and-pinion Steering - How Car Steering Works | HowStuffWorks</a> and a 9.5 foot (2.89 m) wheel base. It will weigh about 1,543 pounds (700 kg) and will be about 12.5 feet (3.81 m) long, 5.7 feet (1.74 m) tall, and 5.6 feet (1.71 m) wide., which gives the vehicle power.

how much efficiency will be achieve???
are you considerin energy to compress d air
why there is need to special material -
@auto-lover-YLWnts • Jun 22, 2008
guys i read all ur reviews, i think its a very simple & most of them can't understand this concept ,to say that i had developed this kind of engine running out of a compressed air in my project & i had succeded in it and i am further reinnovating the engine to squeeze out more work out of it guys...

@auto-lover-YLWnts • Jun 22, 2008

-
@gohm-F3UUpP • Jul 28, 2008
Yes, you could successfully produce an air run motorcycle, wouldn't be overly difficult. A nice single or twin air engine would be good and could be found "off the shelf". Replace the frame mounted gas tank with a compression cylinder and off you go. please keep us posted & provide some pictures as your project develops!

This is great initiative m@d. Why don't you start a project thread on CE for this and work on it? (a.k.a. CE BOT or CE IM)
I'm sure, apart from gohm and raj87verma88, there will be other who will help you complete your project. What say? If you are ready we can list down the activities. -

re: einstein89
generation is generally less polluting than any volatile fluid based on board power producing device, energy generation at plants instead of on board is like shopping at in bulk, it is cost effective and efficient, this is why electric cars can run around all day long on 25 cents worth of electricity, of course there is a middle man in this case(the air compressor) but i am of the opinion that an air compressor is a more efficient device than any gas/diesel/propane etc engine. -
@harishvoxx-A3sSo8 • Aug 17, 2008
Good idea folks ! But the matter of pollution can be avoided by installin a vane motor which can draw air from the atmosphere and store it in a tank . Usually vane motors do not produce environmental hazards

Kool guyz...!!!!!!!
Dear Auto Lover....
If u r sure that the increase in swept volume and the decrease in the clearance volume possess higher compression ratio's...!! Then why do people struggle to get higher compression ratios for high speed diesel engines. Think over it PLEASE..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😁 -

Air has more turbulence than liquid. Thats why i thought of using compressed air to run engines, than using some hydraulic mechanism.. But none of these will come on par with the combustion power of HCs. How do u think that compressed air has more eff. than HCs..😕

@rampon77-dn8W58 • Aug 28, 2008
TheBugInYouNaresh ... You are in a simple guess which anyone with commensense can say, ie." you need to have a hugely compressed air around 4000-6000 psi".. but not just leaving your damn rough guess...but just think about these following things..
😒 Isn't it possible to arrest that pressurized air in a container since pneumatics is currently a hit in the manufacturing industry as the best un conventional M/C Process.
😒 Isn't it great to find a simple engine which has just an inlet and an outlet for air and let the torque be created continuously since all the strokes here will be power strokes..
😒 Try to remind the steam engines which had served us for years for our travelling.... this Air-run is just re-engineering for that only.
Ok Naresh ... Try to find the answers for the above and youcould know how easily it could happen to be realtime success.
hi .......... this is rampon doing BE....
can u plz send details to me about air run engines -
@rampon77-dn8W58 • Aug 28, 2008
NidhinkorothAIR ENGINES
The Air Car can travel up to 120 miles on one tank of air, costing only $2 to fill, ( or free if you use a solar panel to run a DC motor to your compressor) There are many Gas stations that also do not charge for there air. The only draw back is that this engine is a bit loud! Any gasoline engine can be converted to run on compressed air.
The gas tank will no longer be needed, The Carburetor, exhaust
system and cooling system will also no longer be needed. By using air hoses and homemade electric air selenoid switches ( or see Graingers.com, I think they sell these type of pnumatic air swithches.) We can make this by using air guns connected to HV solenoids. When 120 vdc or 400 vdc of electricity enters the coil it will pull the metal plunger back into the coil and at the same time the metal rod plunger will be pulling down the air valve handle on the air gun or guns. If you make your own homemade Solenoid it is cheaper, I would suggest that you use # 30 copper coated wire with about 800 to 1000 turns around a plastic tube, such as PVC pipe. Your solenoid can be about 5" in length and you will need to glue a 1/2" piece of the same size diameter of your metal rod. when electricity is appllied it will turn this metal into a high power magnet and thus increasing the torque of the pull. The spark plug wire is already timed and gives of about 3,000 vac, which we can use to trigger your solinoid or a HV thryristor switch. another words we can build an elctronic switch using a High voltage Thryristor transistor which can be made to turn on the 120 - 400 vdc power to your HV Solenoid. A Solenoid can be designed or bought to run on the High Voltage / low amperage coming from the Lawn mower spark plug wire. Once your automatic air valve is done and is working well, we will then want to buy a High Efficient Air Compressor Motor. Connect this to the shaft of your lawn mower. Then connect the air output to a 2nd input of your air tank! The motor can now perform work as well as replinish itself with air.

hi,
The engines that actually runs on compressed air.there are evidences.The air that is stored in carbon/fibre tanks is fed through the engine. This compressed air can fuel the car for up to 124 miles (200 km) at a top speed of 60 kilometres per hour. •The motor requires oil of about 0.8 liters for every 31,000 miles (50,000 km). •The storage tank holds 300 litres of compressed air at 300 bar.Air cars have safety features in their containers thereby avoiding danger involved in high-impact crashes. Moreover, air is non-flammable.

im also interest in mechatronics topics.
just help me -
@gohm-F3UUpP • Feb 10, 2009
Good to meet a mech student, hope you like CE! Can you narrow down your questions to specifics? What questions/problems with an air run engine are you working on? Although we all will be glad to provide help, guidance & answer questions; it is not right to be handed a completed project which you did not "earn" the experience of. Let us know how we can help you!

@gohm-F3UUpP • Feb 11, 2009
Sorry, I do not think it is right to just give you a completed project as previously mentioned, they must be earned. You will only be hurting yourself doing it your way & many consider it cheating. I will be more than happy to help answer any specific questions you might have about the design or project though! Why not pick another topic/project/field of study you have interest in or knowledge of instead? You will be a more fullfilled person if you do. There is a wealth of information out there on air run engines with just a little amount of exploration. Lots of development opportunity out there for those passionate enough to "dive in" and actively get involved in this ( and countless other) area. Hope to see you "in the pool"...

Dear Engineers...
Listen,...
You are asking me the data for u r project.
What does it mean.
Are u looking for some material which can fill your project book ???
My motto is to induce your minds in the way i.e. useful to the environment and society and future generations. I almost provided you all the data required to initialize your research on this topic.
For people who are looking for some data which is very clearly explaining the design of air-run engines..... a big SORRY for them. I am not a project data giver. I want us to make u think and come out with an answer.
OK .... till date i have been finding you people collecting some data from net... posting that here.... and some showing some videos of their prototype.
Listen.... Knowledge is something which can be attained when u r completely committed to learn and but not merely fetching for something which is already available on net.
Refer the books. Nowadays.. almost all the subject books are available on net. Collect the required literature. Fix your path to fix this issue. Study as much as you can. CO ordinate with others. Nobody here can do everything alone. Coordinate... the cumulative of your ideas will give you the results.
Fine its my turn to suggest you a path.
What is air?
What are its properties and its behavior at various temperatures & pressures?
What is a Diesel/petrol cycle. ? What does P-V diagram say ??
What is the cheapest fuel available & why it is cheap ?
What if water?? why only air ??
what is a CI engine? How does it differ from SI.
If its a air-run does the existing engines work??
If they wont work... what is the objective of the new engine ???
What is the first model of engine in universe?
How did steam engines work in those days?? What cycles did they follow ????
The above are few objectives which you must be familiar before you start this research. Guys... i am no selfish nor a intellectual. I am a 2006 passed out Mechanical Production Engineer, currently working in Engineering Research Group for a Material Handling Turnkey group under a majestic brain Mr. Radha Swamy, M.Tech from IIT Delhi (First Batch). I just say that he is known for his common sense as he calculates everything by just a look without a pen paper or calculator which takes a day for us to. He is damn strong who had made miracles and had run few industries, which make spares like connecting rods for companies like Mahindra & Mahindra. The greatest thing is that all his industries were built out of scrap bought from Iron-reseller. I have also been like you people asking curiously for the answer as soon as i get a question.
But, I have learnt a lot from my guru, Re-collect the available, Compare the problem with existing literature, find the difference factor, propose a model/cycle, make your own laws, fix to them, check them in worst conditions, make your design run live. You had succeeded man. No other looking back.
So guys... please i request you to be real engineers.
Just one last word.....
Who is an engineer ?????
Its like that, you had u r degree .... so u r an engineer ???
Or you had presented a paper in IIT and won prizes ????
This is the question my guru asked and replied like this....
WHAT EVER YOU SEE IN YOUR DAILY LIFE, EVERY BLOODY THING IS SUPPOSED TO INDUCE HUNDREDS OF QUESTIONS IN YOUR MIND. YOU ARE IN SUCH A POSITION THAT YOU CAN’T EVEN SLEEP TILL YOU GET THOSE DOUBTS CLARIFIED. THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMMON MANS EYE AND AN ENGINEERS EYE.
But after listening these words from him, I started to keep on tracking every small thing which I come across including Bagon spray, which let me crawl in to subjects like Computational fluid Dynamics.

Thanks for opening it again Patty, I hope we can continue to discuss ideas about the design and not side-tracked by "gimmie-gimmie" requests. Sorry about my two off-topic posts! now let's get back to the show...
