Advantages of Hybrid Compressed Air Vehicle
1.Batteries, compressed air is favorable because of a high energy density, low
toxicity, fast filling at low cost and long service life. These issues make it
technically challenging to design air engines for all kind of compressed air driven
vehicles.
3.One major advantage of using compressed air to power a car's engine is that a
pure compressed air vehicle produces no pollution at the tailpipe.
4.More specifically, the compressed air cars we're likely to see in the near future
won't pollute at all until they reach speeds exceeding 35 miles per hour.
That's when the car's internal air compressor will kick in to achieve extra speed. The
motor that runs this air compressor will require fuel that'll produce a small amount
of air pollution
Advantages (Contd…)
5.Another advantage of air cars is that the fuel should be remarkably cheap, an
important consideration in this era of volatile gas pipe Some estimates say that the cars
will get the equivalent of 106 miles (171 kilometres) per gallon, although compressed
air will probably not be sold by the gallon.
6.A more meaningful estimate is that it may take as little as $2 worth of electricity to
fill the compressed air tank, though you'll also need gasoline to power the electric
motor that compresses air while driving. The vehicles themselves also will be
relatively cheap. Zero Pollution Motors.
Disadvantages of Hybrid compressed air vehicle
1.The air compressor at the gas station will probably be powered by electricity The
production of that electricity may or may not pollute, depending on how that electricity
is generated. For example, coal-powered electricity could produce substantial amounts
of pollution. Cleaner sources of electricity, such as nuclear power or hydropower, will
result in far less pollution. But carbon dioxide emissions per mile based on the average
mix of electric power sources during refuelling.
2.Distance could also become a disadvantage, depending on your travel habits. The
distance that an air car can cover without refuelling is crucial because very few filling
stations will have compressed air pumps available at first.
3. If you only plan to use your air car for short commutes distances less than 100 miles --
will be fine. However, the one- to-two hour wait for the car's built-in air compressor to
compress a tank full of air could become a problem on cross-country
trips
Disadvantages (Contd…)
4.Compressed air tanks can be dangerous. To reduce this danger, the air
tanks are made of carbon fiber and are designed to crack, rather than
shatter, in a crash. This crack would allow the "fuel" to escape harmlessly
into the surrounding air. Manufacturers feared that air escaping from one
end of the tank could produce a rocket-like effect and propel the Car on a
jet of air. The valve on the cars' fuel tanks has been placed on the side to
minimize this effect.
Despite these precautions, there is some concern that the air cars'
lightweight construction might make it difficult for them to pass
stringent .safety requirements and that this could hold up the arrival of air
cars

Gaps In The Literature Survey
• From the literature survey we concluded that presently, the automotive industry faces several
significant gaps in technology, particularly in the absence of hybrid vehicles powered by
compressed air and batteries.
• One notable gap is the challenge of achieving optimal energy efficiency and environmental
sustainability in urban transportation. Conventional vehicles, relying solely on internal
combustion engines or electric power, often struggle with issues such as limited range, extended
refuelling or recharging times, and dependency on fossil fuels.
• The lack of a comprehensive hybrid system utilizing both battery and compressed air hinders
the development of an effective solution for short-distance commuting, where frequent stops and
starts are prevalent. Additionally, the current reliance on traditional propulsion systems
contributes to higher emissions and fails to address the growing need for versatile, eco-friendly
transportation options.
