AIR CAR - COMPRESSED AIR TECHNOLOGY

Mr. Hardik Singh, Mr. Aakash Singh TKR College of Engg & Tech. As we have seen the price of gas has soared I recent years. Gasoline, which has been the main source of fuel for the history of cars, is becoming more and more expensive and impractical(especially from and environment standpoint). These factors are leading car manufacturers to develop cars fueled by alternative energies. Two hybrid cars took to the road in 2000 and four years later fuel-cell-powered cars rolled onto the worlds highways. But its not enough! We have to use such engines which emit less or zero COx and NOx particles, for that one of the solutions is hybrid electrical vehicle, but again they emit Cox and NOx so this is not a complete solution for this problem. The best feasible solution is Zero emission vehicles that are run by Compressed air technology (CAT), which does not require any type of fossil fuel. The gasoline powered engine requires 4rs/mile whereas for air powered engines it is 75% less that is 1rp/mile with no emission of Cox and NOx pollutants. The cost of the hybrid electric vehicle is approximately 50999$ which requires a charging period of 5 to 6 hours where as the cost of air powered vehicle is 14000$ that is less than half which requires only 3 to 4 minutes for recharging.
