Introduction The working of air powered cars.

Run on compressed air instead of gasoline .

Powered by a two cylinder compressed air engine.

Also called as a low pollution or zero pollution cars.

Ecofriendly .

Within the next two years, you could see the first air-powered vehiclemotoring through your town.

Most likely, it will be the e.Volution car that is being built by ZeroPollution Motors

Technology Description


6/19

Process Description The first piston takes in ambient air and compresses it toapproximately 300 psi and 200*f in the compressionchamber during the first cycle of the engine

When the piston pause, a small amount of compressed airfrom the tanks is released into the expansion chamber to

create a low pressured, low temperature volume of about140psi

Shortly before the valve to the exhaust cylinder is opened,a high-speed shutter connects the compression andexpansion chambers. The sudden pressure andtemperature difference between the low chambers creates

pressure waves in the expansion chamber, thereby producing work in the exhaust chamber that drives the

piston to power the engine

Technology Overview


8/19

The car engine runs on compressed air andincorporates the three laws of thermodynamics

The first law states that energy can neither be created nor bedestroyed

The second law describes the disorder within substances

The third law defines that only in crystals at 0 o k, there isabsolute disorder

Runs on compressed air instead of gasoline.

No pollution car.

A two cylinder, compressed air engine, powers the car.

The engine can run either on compressed air alone or act as an

internal combustion engine.

Compressed air is stored in fiber or glass fiber tanks at a pressure of4351 pounds per square inch.

The air is fed through an air injector to the engine and flows into asmall chamber, which expands the air.

The air pushing down on the piston moves the crankshaft, whichgives the vehicle power.

Working


10/19

When the car is moving at speeds below 60kph,it runs onair.

At higher speeds, it runs on a fuel such as gasoline dieselor natural gas

Air tanks fixed to the underside of the vehicle can holdabout 79 gallons (300 litres) of air.

This compressed air can fuel the car upto 200km at a topspeed of 96.5kph.When the tank nears empty it can be

refilled at the nearest air pump.

The car motors require a small amount of oil about 0.8litres worth that have to change just every 50,000km

Basic Principles of Compressed AirTechnology Engine

The engine has four stage pistons that are 8compression and or expansion chambers. Theyhave two functions

To compress ambient air

To make successive expansions therebyapproaching isothermic expansion


13/19

Cryogenic Heat Engine There are five components to the LN2000 engine

A 24-gallon stainless steel tank

A pump that moves the liquid nitrogen to the economizer

An economizer that heats the liquid nitrogen with leftoverexhaust heat

A heat exchanger that boils the liquid nitrogen, creating a

high pressure gas

An expander, which converts nitrogen's energy into usable power

Advantages

EconomicalPollution freeBetter Fuel efficiencyBetter comfortLess MaintananceLow Cost


15/19

Disadvantages

Less power is producedAir pumping stations are less in number

Comparison With Competition


17/19

Conclusion Air powered cars is a realization of latest

technology in automobile field.

It eliminates the use of non-renewable fuels likegasoline, diesel petrol etc, and Thereby

preventing pollution caused by millions ofautomobiles all over the world.

This could be the future of automobiles and stepto a healthier environment
