3. INTRODUCTION
Our world is facing fuel crisis, and also
burning of fuel gives rise to air pollution.
All kind of conventional source of fuel
are on verge of exhaustion.
Gasoline is the primary source of fuel.
Gasoline is becoming more and more
expensive.
7. Vehicle Parts
• Compressed Air Tank
• Brake Power Recovery
• Body
•Chassis
• Air Filter
• Engine
• Electrical System
8. Compressed Air Tank
It is a carbon-fiber tank
It holds 90 cubic meters
of air.
This tank can be
ruptured, but can’t be
explode.
9. Brake Power Recovery
It uses one mechanism that stops
engine when the car is stationary (at
traffic light , junctions etc..), which
recover 13% of power used.
10. Body
It’s body is made
up of FIBER GLASS
and INJECTED
FOAM.
It is slightly
costly ,but it does
not cut like steel.
It does not rust.
It is light weighted.
11. Chassis
Made up of
Aluminium rod
Glued together.
Enables
more
Shock
resistant
than other
chassis.
Allows quick in
assembly and
reduce the
12. Air Filter
Carbon filter are used
to get rid from dirt ,
dust , humidity and
other particles.
MDI cars produces
clean air, which is
cold on exit and is
harmless to human
life.
Air Filter
13. Engine
This engine use compressed
air as fuel.
The engine was developed
between the end of 2001
and the beginning of 2002.
Totally eco-friendly engine.
The engine becomes idle
automatically when car is
stationary.
14. Electrical system
Only one cable connects all electrical parts
(Headlight ,Dashboard light, light inside the
car) in the car.
Advantage are:
Ease of installation.
Easy to repair
Removal of long cable.
17. 2 Types Of Energy Mode
Single Energy Mode:
It uses only
compressed air. The maximum speed
is 50 km/h.
Dual Energy Mode:
It uses
compress air as well as fossil fuel. At
speed over 60 km/h, the engine will
switch to fuel mode.
20. Air car in INDIA
The Air Car, called the
MiniCAT could cost around
Rs. 3,50,000 ($ 8177) in India
and would have a range of
around 300 km between
refuels .The cost of a refill
would be about Rs 90.
Tata Motors, on Feb.05,2007 signed an
agreement with MDI Co. of France, to develop air car.
22. Conclusion
Air powered car is a realization of latest technology
in automobile field. The air car is a clean, easy to
drive, light weight and gives high performance .
It eliminates the use of non-renewable fuels and
thereby preventing pollution and step towards a
healthier environment.
The Mexico government scheduled to replace
45000 cars by air car in highly polluted area of that
country.
