Abstract


Abstract

Use of conventional source of energy such as petrol, diesel etc. has rapidly affected the environment by means of rapid emission of greenhouse gases such as NOx, SOx,CO2 etc. These modern sources of energy are readily available thus their consumption has increased over the years and it is assumed that after 30 years these conventional sources of energy will be completely exhausted from the modern arena, also there will be a strutted increase in the initial cost of consumption of such source of energy. These source of energy is affecting environment by rate of spills, rate of pollution, etc. over the years by its continuous use thus there is need of using alternating fuel, i.e., nonconventional sources of energy to reduce the harmful environmental effects by the conventional source of energy and to achieve better stability in terms of its consumption. Nonconventional source of energy such as wind, air, tidal energy etc. are readily available causing no pollution and helps increasing stability in terms of its consumption and environmental effect. A compressed air is low toxic and is of high density as compared to conventional sources like petrol, diesel, etc. and it also possess low maintenance thus can be used in near future as an alternative fuel. This paper explains about the designing parameters and designing aspects of a Pneumatic car (compressed air car) which runs on the continuous supply of compressed air causing zero pollution as compared to various conventional source cars, also in this paper various designing specification and technical specification of a compressed air vehicle and their comparative analysis with other conventional source of energy has been touched upon.
