AUTOMOBILE POWERED BY COMPRESSED AIR, PNEUMATIC CAR 2020

Abstract

Urgency of the research. The issue of a pneumatic car – air car developing is very important nowadays, as the environment is threatened by a variety of emissions from cars. The decision has to be made. There are various alternatives to internal combustion engines, and one of them is compressed air engines. Target setting. The main goal is to develop a car that runs on compressed air and create a frame that matches the dimensions specified for the competition. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. In recent years, Aventics has organized competitions and races on pneumatic vehicles. These races have been running by Emerson for thirteen years. The pneumatic cars had to take part in all categories of competitions. We have been dealing with this issue in Slovakia for the third year, and this pneumatic car is our third model. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. This article describes a car that runs on compressed air, as well as describes in more detail the frame used and its design features. The research objective. The purpose of this study is to analyze the pneumatic vehicle, its parts and to give a detailed description of the manufactured frame and its properties. The corresponding frame was made on the basis of the conditions determined by Emerson's competitions. The statement of basic materials. The analysis was conducted on the basis of the terms of the competition. These conditions are determined by the maximum and minimum dimensions of the car. Based on these conditions, a frame was developed, it was previously analyzed by FEA - MKP. The description of the frame is given below. Conclusions. This article describes the design of a pneumatic car for competitions. The competition focus is cars powered by compressed air. The pneumatic cars were developed by bachelors and technical school. The design of this car has passed the initial inspection and has been approved by the organizers of the competition.
