AIR ENGINE
SYNOPSIS
All car engines consume petroleum fuel. Considering the demand and cost of fuel, other energy resources are required to operate the vehicle. So that we opt for another type of energy such as electrical energy, solar energy, etc… It can be noted that air energy is readily available and free. Therefore, we consider this pneumatic motor in our design.

Control unit
Solenoid valve
Air Inlet Valve
air gun
Spur Gear Arrangement
Rotary axis
Wheel

WORKING PRINCIPLE
In our project we operate the vehicle without using fuel. Inside the fuel we use compressed air supply, with gear arrangement. Here the vehicle consists of a gear arrangement, pneumatic gun, solenoid valve and control unit. In this, the vehicle's wheel axle is coupled to the spur gear and the pneumatic gun. Air from the compressor reaches the control unit and the air pressure is controlled and passes through the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve supplies the required amount of air to the pneumatic gun and the gun shaft fixes the gear that will rotate and the rotating gear is coupled with the wheel shaft gear to move the vehicle. Frozen air passes through the inlet port to rotate the pneumatic gun. Then the output shaft will be coupled to the rear drive using gear arrangements that are clearly shown in the diagram below.
