Transformation of Existing SI Engine to Work with Pressurized Air

Abstract

This project is an attempt to highlight the various possibilities of acquiring an environmentally friendly and efficient power source. The use of high pressure, expanding gas, to power the engine piston is the fundamental process in the function of all engines with reciprocating pistons. In this project we have used highly pressurized gas to cause reciprocation of the piston and thereby produce power. This gas is introduced into the engine cylinder at the Top Dead Center position of the piston through a timing valve, thereby giving the gas the maximum capacity to impart its force on the piston. The emission from this process is nil and 100% environmentally friendly. We have shown that with the smallest of changes in our existing engine design we can incorporate this technology in our present modes of transportation. The simple yet dramatic change brought by this system is according to us the most significant aspect of our invention. We have shown a positive way of implementing this technology and as always with any system; this has tremendous potential for improvement and perfection
