Design and Fabrication of Air Operated Mini Car

SYNOPSIS

• Coal, petroleum, natural gas, water and nuclear energy are the five main energy sources that have played important roles and have been widely used by human. At present, the energy consumed all over the world almost completely relies on the supply of the five main energy sources. The consumption of petroleum constitutes approximately 60 percent of energy used from all sources, so it is the major consumer of energy.
•      Everyday radios, newspapers, televisions and the internet warn us of energy exhaustion,atmospheric pollution and hostile climatic conditions. After few hundred years of industrial development, we are facing these global problems while at the same time we maintain a high standard of living.

What is a Air Car ? How it works ?

3D Model Of air operated mini car build in Catia.

 Prototype model  of compressed air car , pneumatic vehicle , fabricated model of compressed air car , working of air car , compressed air vehicle .

 

It requires lighter metal only since it does not have to withstand elevated temperatures. As there is no combustion taking place, there is no need for mixing fuel and air. Here compressed air is made use to direct in to the piston cylinder arrangement. It simply expands air inside the cylinder and does useful work on the piston. This work done on the piston provides sufficient power to the drive the vehicle.

• The flows from the piston chambers and rod chambers of the cylinders are led through the tubing system and a remote valve manifold. In the damper manifold the oil flows create a pressure loss over the solenoid valves and other appendages in the tubing system. The valves are laced parallel for each flow and therefore the total flow‐through area changes when one of the valves opens or shuts.

ADVANTAGES OF AIR OPERATED MINI CAR :

1.    No engine required

2.    Fuel less concept no need fill any type of fuel

3.    Less maintenance required .

4.    Low cost vehicle

5.    No skilled labour required to repair

6.    Light weight less chance of skid and can be used any environment

7.    Virtually silent operation.

8. Uses green energy resources

9. The mechanical design of the engine is simple, robust and already proven for fossil fuels that produce significantly tougher operating conditions.

DISADVANTAGES

1.    Compressed air pressure high required

Application:

1.    In manufacturing plants for Assembly moving from place to other

2.    In Railway stations to Shift the luggage from platform to another
