DESIGNING AND FABRICATION OF COMPRESSED AIR ENGINE

Abstract

In modern era most of the vehicles uses combustible hydrocarbons as fuels (petrol, diesel, gasoline etc.). With the increase in number of vehicle the rate of fuel consumption also increases. These fuels are non-renewable source of energy, which means we have limited reserve and the resources may deplete after few years, the further hike in number of vehicles may shift the year closer. So we need to find an alternative method else there will be no sources left to drive the vehicle. Nowadays electric powered vehicles are in demand but the problem with electric powered vehicles is that they take too much time to get charged (4-6 hours) which means more consumption of electricity. In order to avoid this problem there is one more concept in which compressed air is used. Air is abundant in nature and is renewable source of energy; moreover in case of vehicles running on combustible hydrocarbons pollutes the environment by discharging exhaust toxic gases after burning the fuel inside the engine chamber. So, pollution is also a factor for which we need to limit the use of fuel. As pollution is a reason for global warming. In case of compressed air technique we need not to burn anything, so there is no question of pollution. Compressed air technique is totally pollution free and use of renewable resource makes it further reliable and economical. Thus compressed air technology can be the future of mankind. That is the reason many scientists are still researching on this topic.
