The engine of
the vehicle is powered by using
compressed air as fuel. The air is
compressed in two cylinders at a
pressure of 150bar. The air at the
pressure of 150bar is made to flow
into the motor at 6bar through a
regulator. A ball valve connection
is provided near the driver’s seat
to regulate the flow of air which in
turn controls the speed of the
vehicle.
A
chain connects the shaft of the
motor to a five speed gear on the
rear wheel. Here the rear wheel is
the driving wheel which pushes the
vehicle forward.
Advantages:
-
Total weight
of the vehicle is less when
compared to conventional vehicles.
-
Elimination
of polluting oil as lubricant in
the engine.
-
Reduced
maintenance cost as a result of
low moving parts.
-
Old vehicles
can be retrofit at a reasonable
cost.
-
Drastically
reduced vehicle cost realized by
the radical reduction of total
components needed for drive train
components.
-
Lower
onboard fuel storage weight due to
use of compressed air as an energy
source.
