INTRODUCTION
• Compressed Air Car- Powered by compressed Air Engine.
• It has Emission Free Piston, Engine uses Compressed Air
as Fuel.
• Gasoline- Main source of Fuel, Very Expensive and
Impractical (Environmental Standpoint), Non-
Renewable resource, it will eventually run out.
• So one possible alternative is the compressed air car.
• Compressed Air Cars runs on Compressed Air instead of
Gasoline.
• It powered by two cylinder compressed engine.
• One of the major problems most developing
• countries facing today is air pollution and the major
source of which is automobiles running on road.
HISTORY
The first air powered vehicles were actually trains. The Mekarski
air engine, the Robert Hardie air engine and the Hoadley-Knight
pneumatic system were used in the 1800's to power locomotives.
He patented his car that ran on compressed air. In the 1980's,
inventors Claud Mead, Des Hill,
Ricardo Perez- Pomar and George
Miller said that they had invented
an air car.
In 2007, Tata Motors introduced

the MDI City Cat developed by
Guy Nègre as the first
commercial air car.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT
• Tata Motors has recently showcased their new Harrier SUV, ahead
of its launch in January 2019.
• The Air pod concept can be driven with the help of joystick and only
costs Rs 70 per 200 km.
Tata has not revealed many
details about its upcoming
air-powered car.
• The production model of the

Airpod will have a top speed
of more than 65km/h.

VEHICLE PARTS
COMPRESSED AIR TANK

• It localized Underneath the Vehicle.
• This Compressed Air Storage System is Safe to Risk
of Explosion.
• It hold 90 cubic meters of air, compressed to 300 bars.
• The same tanks used to carry the liquid gas used
by buses for public transport.
• Designed and Officially approved to carry an
Explosive Product: Methane gas.
• Tanks are Not Made of Metals, Rather they
are made Of Carbon Fibers.
• So if Tanks Rupture, They would not Explode,
Rather They Would Crack.
THE BODY
• Car Body- Built with Fiber and Injected Foam.

• Two main advantages: Cost and Weight.
• Sheet Steel-Low Cost than Fiber.
• But Fiber is safer.
• It doesn’t cut like steel.
• Fiber easier to repair, glue, doesn’t rust.
AIR POD – The

air car

THE AIR FILTER
• Air- Compressed by On Board Compressor Or

Service Stations Equipped with High-Pressure
Compressor.
• Before compression, Air must be Filtered to get
rid of any Impurities.
• Carbon Filters are used to Eliminate dirt, dust,
humidity and abundant abrasive particles.
• System eliminates and reduces existing Pollution.
• The Exhaust pipe on the Air-Powered Cars produces
clean air which is cold on exit (between 15o and 0o)
and harmless to human life.
• The air that comes out of the car is cleaner than the
Air that went in.
THE CHASSIS
• Chassis- Highly resistant, Light, Aluminium Rods

glued together.
• Aluminium rods Enables to build More Shock-
Resistant Chassis than Regular Chassis.
• The rods are Glued in the Same way as Aircraft.
• Aluminium allows quick assembly.
• And More secure join than Welding.
• This System helps to reduce Manufacture Time.
TECHNOLOGY DESCREPTION
• Piston 1- Takes in Air, Compresses at 300 psi & 200 *F in
Compression Chamber During 1st Cycle of Engine.
• Piston Pauses. Small Amount Of Air is released in Expansion
Chamber. It Creates Low Pressure of 140 psi, Low Temperature,
Low volume.
• A High Speed Shutter Connects the Compression & Expansion
Chamber.
• Sudden Pressure & Temperature Difference in the two Chamber
creates Pressure Wave in Expansion Chamber, Thus Producing
Work that drives the piston to Power the Engine.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
• The pistons work in two stages, intermediate stage of

compression and expansion.
• Engine has two functions:
• To compress ambient air.
• To make successive expansions thereby power
produced.
Detailed view
WORKING
• Compressed air- Stored in Fiber or Glass Fiber

Tanks at a Pressure of 4500 psi.
• Fed through Air Injector to the Engine & flows
into a Small chamber, where Expansion occurs.
• Air Pushes the Piston down & moves the
Crankshaft, which gives Power.
• Car can run on Traditional Fuel in Combination with
Air.
• The change of energy source is controlled
electronically.
• Tank can be refilled at the nearest Air Pump.
• Car motors require a small amount of oil (0.8 litres)
that has to be changed just every 50,000km.
ADVANTAGES
• Fast recharge time.
• Long storage lifetime Of Air.
• Potentially lower initial cost than battery electric
vehicles when mass production takes place.
• A Pure Compressed Air Vehicle produces no
pollution at the tailpipe.
• The compressed air engines also offer drivers, the
option of using fossil fuels or bio-fuels to heat the air
as it enters the engine.
• Air cars are lighter than conventional cars.
DISADVANTAGES
• When Compressor runs on Gasoline, it will create

Pollution.
• One-to-two hour Waiting for the Car's built-in Air
Compressor to Compress air could become a problem
on cross-country trips.
• The distance that an Air Car can cover without
refueling is crucial because very few filling stations
will have compressed air pumps available.
CONCLUSION
• Air powered cars is a Realization of latest

technology in automobile field.
• It eliminates the use of Non-Renewable fuels.
• It Prevents Pollution caused by Millions of
Automobiles all over the world.
• This could be the future of automobiles and
step to a Healthier Environment.
Thank you.
