A compressed air vehicle (CAV) is powered by an air motor, using compressed air, which is stored in a tank. Instead of mixing fuel with air and burning it in the engine to drive pistons with hot expanding gases, the compressed air vehicles use the expansion of the compressed air to drive the pistons. One manufacturer claims to have designed an engine that is 90 percent efficient. Compressed air propulsion can also be incorporated into hybrid systems, such as with electric battery propulsion. This type of system is called a hybrid-pneumatic electric propulsion. In addition, regenerative braking can also be used together with this system.
A cylinder with 10 kg of compressed air is mounted on the back of a bicycle without pedals. Tejaswini had this thought when he was visiting a bicycle repair shop. Fascinated by the way the mechanics made use of air guns to remove the knots of the tires, applied the same concept of an air gun that works with the air pressure. Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: "I thought if an air cannon does that, I could also run a bicycle. They discussed my idea with my father who encouraged me a lot and helped me with the team to conduct experiments."
Long before his efforts worked, he worked very hard with the few resources he had. Despite many failures, she kept trying. When she cycled a few miles a day, she realized that her attempts had finally begun to pay off. Her father always encouraged her with her experiments. He even bought an air tank with an inlet to fill the air. The tank was fixed with a start button, a measuring dial and a safety valve. The safety valve was used to remove excess air from the tank. When turning the knob, air is sent from the cylinder to the air gun, which is installed near the blade. The blade rotates the gear with the aid of six different blades. All this mechanism results in the movement of the bicycle.
Tejaswini's father, Natwar Gocchayat, told The Telegraph: "The bicycle can run for 60 km with 10 kg of air. The same technique can be used for motorcycles and automobiles. Pryadarshani won praise for his invention of many experts. The bicycle It can also be used by the disabled and people who care about the environment can also use it to reduce the use of fossil fuels. "
"If you use a similar concept for a motorcycle, you will not need gasoline or diesel as it would be totally powered by air." If the bikes run in the air, cyclists will not have to pay for the big gas. My main intention was to create a pollution-free vehicle. "
