- 2. THE AIR CAR THEFUTURE OF AUTOMOBILES
- 3. REASON FOR THEARRIVAL OF AN AIR POWERED VEHICLE Today we are facing fuel crisis and also air pollution ; Now a days we are using gasoline as a major fuel which is going on expensive also it is non-renewable ; So an alternate for gasoline has to be adopted , C0MRESSED AIR serves this purpose .
- 4. THE AIR CAR •The Air Powered Car is powered by air engine which uses COMPRESSED AIR as fuel. • The air powered car is also called as a low pollution or zero pollution cars.
- 5. MAJOR PARTS OFAN AIR CAR • Chassis • Body • Compressed air tank • Engine • Break power recovery • Air filter
- 6. CHASSIS OF ANAIR CAR • Highly resistant and light chassis • Made of aluminium • Aluminium rods are glued not welded • Aluminium rods enables more shock resistant chassis than other regular chassis
- 7. BODY • It ismade up of FIBER and INJECTED FOAM. • It does not rust • It does not cut like steel • Light weight material that improves the efficiency of the car
- 8. COMPRESSED AIR TANK •It is the most important part of these cars • It is made of carbon fiber • These tanks hold 90 cubic metres of air • It can be ruptured but can’t be explode since there are no metals in them.
- 9. ENGINE • Engine uses compressedair as a fuel • It has normally two cylinder engines for mid range cars. • It runs normally like a gasoline engine but there is a absence of combustion chamber.
- 10. BREAK POWER RECOVERY •It is a pneumatic system which plays an important role in air powered cars • Brake power recovery means , the engine stops when the car is stationary ( at traffic, junctions , railway crossings, etc.,.). • It saves 13% of the power used.
- 11. AIR FILTER • Theengine works with both air taken from the atmosphere and also from compressor tank • Before compression, the air must be filtered to get rid of any impurities that could damage the engine. • Carbon filters are used to eliminate dirt, dust, humidity and other particles • It is the first time that a car has produced minus pollution. • The exhaust pipe on the cars produces clean air, which is cold on exit (between -15º and 0º) and is harmless to human life.
- 12. WORKING • First pistontakes atmospheric air and compresses it to approximately 300 psi in the compression chamber • Then a small amount of air from the tank is released in to the expansion chamber at a low pressure of 140 psi also at low temperature. • A high speed shutter connects the compression and expansion chambers. • The sudden pressure and temperature difference between the compression and expansion chambers creates pressure waves in the expansion chamber, thereby producing work in the exhaust chamber that drives the piston to power the engine.
- 14. REFILING OF AIR •The air can be filled at our home by using Air Compressor , but it requires 3 to 4 hours. • And the air can be filled in Air Stations and it requires just 2 to 3 minutes.
- 15. ADVANTAGES • Less costlyand more effective. • Simple in construction. • Light weight engine. • Easy to maintain and repair. • The price of filling air tanks is significantly cheaper than petrol, diesel or bio fuel. • Pollution free.
- 16. DISADVANTAGES • Less speed •Can’t be effectively used for heavy trailer vehicles • Refueling at house takes 3-4 hours.

- 18. CONCLUSION • Air poweredcars is a realization of latest technology in automobile field. • The air car is a clean, easy to drive, light weight and high performance car. • It eliminates the use of non-renewable fuels and thereby preventing pollution and step to a healthier environment. • Tata Motors has signed an agreement with Moteur Development International ( MDI) of France to develop cars that runs on compressed air. • The Mexico government scheduled to replace 45000 cars by air car in highly polluted areas of their country.
