Compressed air for your auto

Many engineers are studying the concept of compressed air in running your car. Yes, these engineers believe that compressed air can run a vehicle with zero pollution cars. To examine the study, a commercial compressed air car is introduced in the market. This has created a wonderful effect on the industry as it started to attract a lot of attention. In fact, the manufacturer of the first compressed air car has signed a partnership with Tata, the India’s largest automotive manufacturer. Tata outlooks a very cost-effective light urban car that uses a tubular chassis. The idea of a cost effective production of such model is an important possibility. Indeed, the MiniC.A.T is a simple light urban car that uses a tubular chassis that is glued and not welded on the body of the fiberglass.

At the heart of the electronic communication system installed in the vehicle, there found a computer that offers an array of information report, which extends well beyond the speed of the vehicle. This is built to provide an integration, using an external system that has almost anything you could wish for. These include the voice recognition, internet connectivity, the GPS guidance system, GSM telephone connectivity, emergency systems, the fleet management systems, and any other form of digital entertainment. The engine it uses is fascinating. Indeed, it is like a revolutionary electrical system that uses a single cable and a vehicle’s wireless control system. In addition, microcontrollers are also used in every device it is equipped with, just like the one tiny radio transmitter that sends the instructions to the lights, the indicators, and a lot more.

The vehicle is designed not using any keys. An access card is used instead. The car reads the car from your pocket. But what is more exciting about this car is its incredibility of being cost efficient in running. The designer is particular with this design. This costs less than one Euro per 100Km (about a tenth that of a petrol car). Its mileage doubles the most advanced electric car (200 to 300 km or 10 hours of driving) available in the market today, a factor which makes a perfect choice in cities where the 80% of motorists drive at less than 60Km. The car can run with a top speed of 68 mph.

To refill the car, it may take place at adapted petrol stations, which administer a compressed air. For about two or three minutes, and at a cost of approximately 1.5 Euros, the car will be ready to go another 200-300 kilometers. Isn’t that great? As another alternative, the car could also carry a small compressor which can be connected to the mains (220V or 380V) and refill the tank in 3-4 hours. With the absence of combustion and, consequently, of residues, changing the oil (1 liter of vegetable oil) is necessary only every 50,000 Km. Likewise, the temperature of the clean air that is being expelled by the exhaust pipe is between 0 - 15 degrees below zero. This characteristic makes it suitable for use by the internal air conditioning system with no need for gases or loss of power. How does it happen? Well, the 90m3 of compressed air is stored in fiber tanks. When the air expands, this air pushes the pistons and creates movement. To re-heat the engine as well as increase the road coverage, the atmospheric temperature can be used. Likewise, the air conditioning system can make use of the expelled cold air. And because there is no combustion process taking place in the engine, certainly you can expect that there is no pollution in the air.
