This document describes a project to convert a two-stroke petrol engine into an air motor. A single cylinder two-stroke engine was selected and the spark plug was removed to allow pressurized air to enter. An electronic control system uses a solenoid valve and infrared sensor to control the flow of pressurized air from a compressor into the engine, replacing the use of fuel. The goal is to gain practical knowledge in automation using pneumatics and microcontrollers.

ABSTRACT; To increase the productivity and to overcome skilled labour shortage, most of the manufacturing industries are going for automation. The main aim for us to select this project work is to acquire practical knowledge in the field of automation using Pneumatics and Microcontroller.
We selected FABRICATION OF CONVERSION OF TWO
STROKE PETROL ENGINE INTO AIR MOTOR which utilizes the pressurized air instead of fuel. In this project ,a single cylinder two stroke engine(TVS 50) is used . The spark plug is removed from the engine head and through this opening the pressurized air passed.
The pressurized air come from the compressor to the engine
through a 3/2 way directional controlled
solenoid operated valve.
This valve is controlled by a electronic control system .
A infra red sensor is mounted on the top of the engine head
which sends the signal to the controller to control (ON/ OFF ) the valve . Block Diagram
