Introduction: Petroline, which has been the main source of fuel for the history of cars, is becoming more and more expensive and impractical (especially from an environmental standpoint). These factors are leading car manufactures to develop cars fueled by alternative energies. While petroline prices have not yet reached their highest point, they have climbed steeply in the past few years. But cost is not the only problem with using petroline as our primary fuel. It is also damaging to the environment, and since it is not a renewable resource, it will eventually run out.

One possible alternative is the air-powered car. There are at least two ongoing projects in the world that are developing a new type of car that will run on compressed air. This project is about the technology behind compressed-air cars being developed and how they may replace our petrol guzzler by the end of the decade!
However, this being a new concept for the Indians and the need of the hour, we have decided to work on it as our project.
Advantages
The principle advantages for an air-powered vehicle are:
· Fast recharge time
· Long storage lifetime
· Potentially lower initial cost when mass produced.
