Project presentation final
- 2. OBJECTIVE To make a zero emission vehicle.
- 3. W HY ??? To reduce dependency on fossil fuels. To control pollution. To avoid any further deterioration of the planet.
- 4. C ONCEPT Conversion of mass flow energy of compressed air into mechanical energy. And using this mechanical energy to power our bike. Compressed Mechanical Mechanism Air Energy
- 5. MECHANISM
- 6. STEP - 1 Compressed air filled cylinders are taken. These are seamless cylinders capable of carrying air at 150bar. Conventionally carbon fibber cylinders are best. Composite cylinder can also be a another type which could be useful and economic as well.
- 7. STEP - 2 The compressed air is supplied through hoses to the pneumatic motor.
- 8. STEP - 3 The supplied air drives the pneumatic motor.
- 9. STEP - 4 The pneumatic motor drives a pinion mounted on the central shaft. This pinion drives a wheel gear mounted on a driving axle
- 10. STEP - 5 The wheel gear is mounted on the driving axle. The driving axle carries a chain and sprocket arrangement which transmits the power to the variable gear unit mounted on the rear wheel.
- 11. STEP - 6 The power to the rear wheel is transmitted through the variable gear unit. Initially when the bike is in the starting position the largest gear is engaged offering the maximum torque at the lowest rpm. Consequently as the movement progress the lower gears are engaged offering greater rpm at lower torque.
