Compressed Air Production Using Vehicle Suspension

This document proposes using vehicle suspensions to produce compressed air for automobiles. It describes collecting air in a cylinder from the up and down motion of suspensions and storing it in a compressor tank. The system would utilize a pneumatic cylinder, quick exhaust valve, air tank, and other components to convert the force energy from suspensions into compressed air without fuel input. Some advantages are that it would produce no tailpipe pollution, reduce vehicle production costs, and use renewable air as the working fluid. The document concludes the model could be scaled up to power automobiles independently or in hybrid systems.

AIM

Using vehicle suspensions to


produce the compressed air for
automobiles.

ABSTRACT

Collecting air cylinder and store this energy to the


compressor tank as non-conventional method by simply
driving the vehicle.
Non-conventional energy system is very essential at this
time to our nation.
Compressed air production using vehicle suspensor needs
no fuel input power to produce the output of the air.
Conversion of the force energy in to air. The control
mechanism carries the air cylinder (vehicle suspensor),
quick exhaust valve, Non-return valve and spring
arrangement.

Major COMPONENTS USED

Vehicle Model
Pneumatic single acting cylinder
Quick exhaust valve
Air tank
Gate valve

WORKING OPERATION
The reciprocating motion is converted into
compressed air by proper driving arrangement.
When the load act on the vehicle suspension, the
piston(which is in the pneumatic cylinder)
compress the air.
The compressed air forced through the non return
valve to the storage tank.
Suspension system is return to the normal stage by
using external spring arrangement.
The process of compression is begin by the same
way.

advantages

Major advantage of using compressed engine


is that a pure compressed air vehicle produces
nopollution in thetailpipe.
Use of renewable fuel.
Compressed-air technology reduces the cost of
vehicle production by about 20%, because
there is no need to build acoolingsystem, fuel
tank, Ignition Systems orsilencers.
Air, on its own, is non-flammable.

Conclusions
The model designed by us is a small scale
working model of the compressed air engine.
When scaled to higher level it can be used
for driving automobiles independently or
combined (hybrid) with other engines like
I.C. engines.
