Components of
Air Powered
Vehicle
Engine
Uses expansion of compressed air instead of
Storage Tank
Air is non-flammable on its
own
No worry of
crash
Compressed air produces more dense air rather than air heated prior to expansion inside the engine
Emission
Compressed air vehicles uses electricity
as a source of energy
Working
Process
The needed power driven through an
epicyclic automatic transmission
The needed power provided By 82hp
1.2ltr engine
Deceleration Acceleration
Driving Modes
Air Only
Combined
Gas only
Gas only drive mode : Suitable for highway
driving
Air Only Drive : Useful for city stop and go traffic
where the speed is below 43mph
Combined driving mode : Powered
by gas engine and hydraulic motor .
No longer needed expensive batteries
Let’s know the Feasibility and roadblocks of Air Powered Vehicle
Refueling can be done at home with some needed
equipment
Reduces the cost of vehicle production
Self-discharge proportion is low from other vehicle types
No requirement of A/C : The compressed air’s low temperature
works as A/C
Reduction in hazardous chemicals to environment like battery acids or
gasoline particles
Regenerate lost energy from braking
Mechanical components compress the air inside the
car
Compressed air uses heat exchanger if the heat exchanger fails then air can be
iced up inside the engine
Other
loopholes
Incomplete dehydrated air also lead to decrease in
pressure ultimate to decrease in energy
level.
Incomplete dehydration of compressed air lead to inner
icing
