WHAT IS PNEUMATIC BIKE
A bike which use pressurize air as a fuel is known as pneumatic bikes.
I.C. power engines are replaced by fluid power. The power system in the vehicle is not by combustion of fuel but by means of pressurized fluid power (air).
If we arrange the whole system in a particular manner then we can achieve it.
OBJECTIVES
To replace the conventional two wheeler power source by fluid power source.
To meet environment pollution and regulation act.
To save the economy of the nation and as well as every individual.
To bring zero pollution factor.
CONSTRUCTION
Basic set up consist of four parts
COMPRESSOR
The compressor has a motor whose supply is fed from a rechargeable battery.
The air compressor increases the pressure of gas by reducing the volume of gas as described by the perfect gas laws.
ELECTRIC MOTOR :
Electric motor is a rotary actuator which is used initially to drive the vehicle to overcome the initial torque required to drive the vehicle with load.
Once the vehicle gains the initial momentum and the running torque and a stipulated speed say (20 km/hr), the power system is switched over to the pneumatic system from the electrical.
TORQUE SENSOR:-
Torque sensor is a transducer which converts the torque acting on the wheel into analog signal. The signal is then send to the relays and thereby playing an immigrant part in switching over the power from motor to cylinder.
The cylinders which now start reciprocating become the drive source.
