AIR POWERED VEHICLE

ABSTRACT

Air cars, also known as flying cars or airborne vehicles, have emerged as a fascinating concept that holds
the potential to revolutionize transportation in the 21st century. Unlike traditional automobiles that are bound
to roads, air cars provide the freedom of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), allowing them to navigate through
the skies. This abstract delves into the concept of air cars, exploring their technological advancements, benefits,
challenges, and the future prospects they hold for sustainable mobility. The development of air cars stems from
the growing need for efficient and eco-friendly transportation solutions to address the challenges posed by urban
congestion, limited road infrastructure, and environmental concerns. Powered by electric or hybrid propulsion
systems, air cars aim to minimize carbon emissions and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. Their VTOL
capabilities enable them to bypass traffic congestion, shorten travel times, and potentially offer a new dimension
to urban commuting and transportation networks.

Air cars have the potential to provide numerous benefits to society. They could alleviate traffic
congestion, especially in densely populated urban areas, by utilizing the airspace as an additional transportation
network. By reducing travel times and offering flexible routes, air cars can enhance productivity and improve
the overall quality of life. Furthermore, the utilization of electric propulsion systems can significantly contribute
to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.

However, several challenges need to be addressed before air cars can become a widespread reality. Key
concerns include regulatory frameworks, airspace management, infrastructure requirements, safety standards,
and public acceptance. Collaboration between policymakers, aviation authorities, and technology developers is
crucial to ensure the integration of air cars into existing transportation systems while mitigating potential risks.

In conclusion, air cars have emerged as a revolutionary concept with the potential to reshape the
transportation landscape. By combining advanced technologies, sustainable propulsion systems, and VTOL.

CHAPTER-1: INTRODUCTION
AIR POWERED VEHICLE :
Many governments and vehicle manufacturers have expedited research on new energy
vehicles as a result of the climate and energy crises, which is important for reducing the use of fossil fuels
and reducing pollution produced by exhaust emissions. Compressed air is seen as an opportunity in the
new energy automotive sector as a source of energy and a non-polluting fuel in air-powered equipment.
The air powered vehicle (APV) is made up of three parts: an air tank, a compressed air engine, and a control
system. The current state of new energy vehicles is summarised in this document.

The compressed air system and compressed air engine are introduced as the primary technologies in
air-powered vehicles. The primary assessment criteria, energy density, and compressed air energy
conversion efficiency are examined using compressed air energy theory. Practical approaches and related
research to improve the efficiency of APVs, such as multistage expansion and energy recovery systems, are
also given and discussed. In general, the air- powered vehicle is both technically and practically practicable.
The energy conversion efficiency and driving mileage of APVs will be competitive with traditional vehicles
and other new energy vehicles if the energy loss of the air compression and decompression process is
reduced and the utilisation rate of compressed air energy is improved, and its green nature will make it an
important place in the future automotive market.

For decades, scientists and engineers have been interested in compressed air as a source of energy in
many applications and as a non-polluting fuel in compressed air vehicles. Using a compressor, compressed
air is filled with electricity. When calculating overall efficiency, the electricity required to compress air must
be taken into account. The air engine is now the most often utilised technology for converting compressed
air potential energy into mechanical energy. Nonetheless, the compressed air vehicle will aid in the
reduction of air pollution, with a goal of zero pollution and the promotion of a healthy atmosphere. There
is no combustion process going on there.

This technology might develop into an inexpensive green transportation technology. The energy,
vehicles and compressors might be easily produced by decentralized methods, even circular Industry. Using
the plastics might permit open source fabrication using Numerical Control, including Additive
manufacturing. The compressed air for such vehicles might be easily produced by common forms
of renewable energy. For example, multistage air compressor and intercoolers or hydraulic pumps might
be attached directly to trompes, hydropower, VAWT Wind turbines or stirling engines using a solar
concentrator .

CHAPTER -2 : LITERATURE REVIEW

LITERATURE REVIEW:

According to S. S. Verma et al., compressed air has captivated scientists and engineers for millennia
as a source of energy in various applications and as a nonpolluting fuel in compressed air vehicles. Many
developers and manufacturers are working to master compressed air vehicle technology in all aspects
for its earliest application by mankind. The current paper provides a quick overview of the most recent
breakthroughs in compressed-air vehicles, as well as an overview of the technology's numerous
problems and solutions. For the creation of a safe, light, and cost-effective compressed air vehicle in the
near future, management of compressed air parameters such as temperature, energy density,
requirement of input power, energy release, and emission control must be mastered.

Transportation, according to Ashish Jiotode and others, is the most important aspect of our daily
lives. Life would not be as simple if it weren't for it. Cars, trucks, trains, and other modes of transportation
all require petrol or diesel to operate. We all know that gasoline is a nonrenewable source of energy, and
that its prices are rising every day. So, in this work, we offer some new ideas in the context of this concept.
We used AIR as a fuel to power the cars here. Because air is a free and renewable source of energy, it is
also the most reliable. We utilized air for the intake and a carbon filter to filter out the dust particles. We
don't need gasoline or diesel for this; we can simply run the engine on air. This will be really beneficial to
people. It will also be extremely beneficial to businesses. Transportation will be less expensive. It will be
more advantageous and useful in the future. TATA MOTORS signs a deal with France's Motor
Development International MDI to create a compressed-air vehicle. It will also be more cost- effective
and pollution-free. When compared to petrol or diesel, the cost of recharging the air will be quite low.

According to Gaurav Kumar Tandan et al, compressed air has captivated scientists and engineers
for millennia as a source of energy in various applications and as a non-polluting fuel in compressed air
vehicles. Using a compressor, compressed air is filled with electricity. When calculating overall efficiency,
the electricity required to compress air must be taken into account. The air engine is now the most often
utilized technology for converting compressed air potential energy into mechanical energy. Nonetheless,
the compressed air vehicle will aid in the reduction of air pollution, with a goal of zero pollution and the
promotion of a healthy atmosphere.
CHAPTER-3: HISTORY

HISTORY:
Charles B. Hodges pioneered air-powered engines in 1896 and made a fortune selling
hundreds of locomotives through the H. Hodges Company. The K. Porter Company is a company
founded by K. Porter. The inventor of the first air automobile, on the other hand, has been a point
of contention for decades.

In 1925, the Decatur Review published a story on a man named Louis C. Kiser, who
adapted his gasoline car to run on compressed air. In 1926, Lee Barton Williams claimed to be the
first to design an air automobile. Williams, a Pittsburg native, claimed the car started on gasoline
but switched to compressed air only after 10 mph.

The Hope Star of Hope, Arkansas published an item in 1931 about Los Angeles' Roy J.
Meyers inventing the first air automobile. The Troyan air mobile was reported to be the first air
automobile in the 1970s. The air-powered flywheel was created in a closed system by inventor
Joseph P. Troyan. Willard Truitt exhibited his air car invention in the 1970s as well. However, he
sold the design to the US Army and NASA in 1982 because he lacked the financial resources to
pursue its development.

Texas' Russel R. Brown claimed to have invented the first air automobile in 1974. Sorgato,
an Italian inventor, created an experimental air automobile in 1975 that used nine 2840 pressure
air bottles. Ray Starbard designed a pressurized air vehicle in Vacaville, California, in 1976.

Terry Miller invented Air Car One in 1979, and it only cost him $1500 to manufacture. He
received a patent for his compressed air automobile. Claud Mead, Des Hill, Ricardo Perez-Pomar,
and George Miller claimed to have invented an air automobile in the 1980s.

The MDI City Cat, designed by Guy Ngre and introduced by Tata Motors in 2007, was the
first commercial air car. MDI air cars have been showcased in two more models as of 2009.
CHAPTER-4: TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGY:

Uncompressed airpower has been used by mankind for ages in a variety of applications,
including windmills, sailing, balloon cars, hot air balloon flying, and hang gliding, among others. The use of
compressed air for energy storage is a method that is not only efficient and clean, but also cost- effective, and
has been used to power mine trains and naval torpedo propulsion since the 19th century. The Liquid Air
Company, based in London, began producing compressed air and liquid air cars in 1903.

The lack of torque produced by the "engines" and the cost of compressing the air were the
two biggest issues with compressed air cars. Several businesses have recently begun to create
compressed air cars, although none have yet been given to the public. Compressed air tanks hold a lot of
energy yet have a low power density. They are on par with or better than batteries in terms of
charge/recharge efficiency, but they have a far shorter lifespan. Compressed air vehicles have a major
problem with higher pressures, whilst chemical batteries have major issues with efficiency, cost, harmful
chemicals, and lifespan.

Compressed-air propulsion works by pressurizing a storage tank and connecting it to something


that looks like a vehicle's reciprocating steam engine. Compressed air vehicles (CAV) use the expansion of
compressed air to drive their pistons instead of combining gasoline with air and burning it in the engine to
drive pistons with hot expanding gases. As a result, the method is devoid of the technical and medical
challenges associated with employing ammonia, petrol, or carbon disulphide as the working fluid.
Manufacturers claim to have created a 90 percent efficient engine. The air is compressed at 150 times the
pace at which air is pumped into vehicle tyres or bicycle tyres.

The tanks must be built according to pressure vessel safety regulations. Steel, aluminium, carbon
fibre, Kevlar, or other materials, or a mix of the above, may be used to
construct the storage tank. Fiber materials are lighter than metals, but
they are also more expensive. Metal tanks can resist a lot of pressure
cycles, but they must be inspected for corrosion on a regular basis. The
tanks can be refilled at a service station with heat exchangers, or at home
or in parking lots in a few hours by connecting the vehicle to an on-board
compressor. Driving such a car is expected to cost roughly Rs. 60 every Fig-1: Layout Of Vehicle
100 km, with a complete fill-up at a “tank-station” costing around Rs. 120.

CHAPTER-5: COMPONENTS OF VEHICLE

5.1 ENGINE :
Compressed air automobiles are propelled by compressed air motors that are held at high
pressures, such as 31 MPa, in a tank (4500 psi or 310 bars). Rather than using an ignited fuel-air mixture to
drive engine pistons, compressed air cars use compressed air to expand, similar to how steam expands in a
steam engine. Since the 1920s, there have been prototype cars that use pressurized air for torpedo
propulsion

Fig -2: Engine

Fig -3: Experimental Setup of Engine


5.2 STORAGE TANKS :

The tanks must be built according to pressure vessel safety requirements, such as ISO 11439. In
contrast to hydrogen's difficulties with damage and hazard in high-impact accidents, air is non-flammable
on its own. It was claimed on Seven Network's Beyond Tomorrow that carbon-fiber is fragile and can split
under enough force, but does not emit shrapnel when it does so.

Carbon-fiber tanks are comparable to steel tanks in that they can safely contain air at a pressure of
roughly 4500 psi. The vehicles are built to be refueled at a high-pressure pump. Tanks in compressed air
vehicles are typically isothermal, with a heat exchanger of some sort used to keep the temperature (and
pressure) of the tank constant when the air is removed. It boasts a lightweight and durable design, consistent
dependability and performance, consistent pressure output, good flow, and a high level of efficiency.

Fig -4 : Storage Tanks

Air-powered vehicles are mainly used for short-distance transportation in urban areas, such as taxis,
delivery vehicles, or small utility vehicles. They are less common in long-range or high-performance
applications due to the limitations of compressed air as an energy storage medium.

It's important to note that while compressed air vehicles have been explored as a potential alternative to
fossil fuel-powered vehicles, they have not gained widespread commercial adoption. The technology faces
challenges such as limited range, slower refueling times, and lower energy efficiency compared to other
alternative propulsion systems like electric vehicles.
5.3 BODY :

1) Lightweight Construction: The body of an air-powered vehicle is typically constructed using


lightweight materials to maximize efficiency and range. Materials such as carbon fiber composites,
aluminum alloys, or high-strength plastics are commonly used. The lightweight construction helps reduce
the overall vehicle weight, improving energy efficiency and allowing for better use of the
available compressed air.
2) Aerodynamic Design: Air-powered vehicles often incorporate aerodynamic design principles to
minimize air resistance and drag. Streamlined shapes, smooth surfaces, and optimized contours help
reduce the vehicle's energy consumption and enhance its performance. By reducing aerodynamic drag, the
vehicle can achieve higher speeds or travel longer distances on a given amount of compressed air.
3) Vehicle Size and Shape: The size and shape of the vehicle's body can vary depending on its intended
use. Air-powered vehicles designed for urban commuting or short-range transportation may have compact
dimensions to navigate through traffic and park easily. Conversely, larger air-powered vehicles designed
for cargo transport or specialized applications may have a more spacious and utilitarian design.
4) Passenger and Cargo Space: The body of an air-powered vehicle is designed to accommodate
passengers and cargo. Depending on the vehicle's purpose, it may feature seating arrangements, storage
compartments, or cargo areas. The interior space is optimized to provide comfort and functionality while
maintaining a balance between the vehicle's weight and passenger/cargo capacity.
5) Safety Features: Like any other vehicle, air-powered vehicles incorporate various safety features into
their body design. These may include crumple zones, reinforced structures, airbags, seat belts, and
advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The body is designed to protect occupants in the event of a
collision and to meet safety standards and regulations
6) Accessibility and Ergonomics: The body design of air-powered vehicles also takes into consideration
accessibility and ergonomics. Features such as wide doors, low step-in heights, adjustable seating, and user-
friendly controls enhance the ease of entry, exit, and overall driving experience.

Fig-5: Body
5.4 EMISSION :
At the exhaust, compressed air cars might be emission-free. Because compressed air cars rely on
electricity for power, their total environmental impact is determined by how clean the electricity source is.
Most air cars, on the other hand, feature petrol engines for various jobs. The amount of carbon dioxide
emitted is comparable to half of what a Toyota Prius produces (being around 0.34 pounds per mile). Because
different regions have extremely varying power sources, ranging from high-emission power sources like coal
to zero-emission power sources, some engines can be powered otherwise. A region's electrical power
sources might also alter over time, enhancing or worsening total emissions.

Zero Tailpipe Emissions is One of the key advantages of air-powered vehicles is that they produce
zero tailpipe emissions. Since compressed air is the primary source of energy, there is no combustion of
fossil fuels within the vehicle, resulting in the absence of direct emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2),
nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) during operation

Energy Efficiency is the overall energy efficiency of air-powered vehicles is an important factor to
consider. While they have the advantage of zero tailpipe emissions, the energy efficiency of compressed air
as an energy storage medium is lower compared to other technologies such as batteries. Energy is lost
during the compression and expansion processes, reducing the overall efficiency of the system. This can
impact the overall environmental benefits of air-powered vehicles.However, even with the most optimistic
assumptions, a 2009 study found that energy storage in the form of air is less effective than chemical
(battery) storage.

Range and Performance is the range of an air-powered vehicle is influenced by factors such as the
size of the storage tanks, the pressure at which the air is stored, and the vehicle's efficiency. Typically, the
range of air-powered vehicles is more limited compared to conventional vehicles due to the lower energy
density of compressed air.

It's important to note that while compressed air vehicles have been explored as a potential
alternative to fossil fuel-powered vehicles, they have not gained widespread commercial adoption. The
technology faces challenges such as limited range, slower refueling times, and lower energy efficiency
compared to other alternative propulsion systems like electric vehicles.
5.5 Pressure Gauges :
The study of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface is known as pressure
measurement. The most common unit of measurement for pressure is force per unit of surface area. The
measurement of pressure and vacuum has spawned a slew of new approaches. Pressure gauges and
vacuum gauges are instruments that measure and show pressure in an integral unit.
Pressure gauges used in air-powered vehicles are designed to provide accurate and reliable
pressure measurements. However, it's important to periodically calibrate and verify their accuracy to
ensure proper functioning. Safety Considerations of Pressure gauges in air-powered vehicles contribute
to safety by allowing operators to monitor and identify any abnormal pressure conditions. If the pressure
exceeds safe limits, it can indicate a potential system malfunction or leak, prompting necessary actions
to prevent accidents.
Maintenance and Inspection is Regular maintenance and inspection of pressure gauges are
essential to ensure their proper functioning. This includes checking for physical damage, verifying
accuracy, and replacing or repairing faulty gauges as needed. The primary function of pressure gauges in
air-powered vehicles is to provide real-time pressure readings. They allow the driver or operator to
monitor the pressure levels within the storage tanks and ensure they are within the safe operating range.
Placement Pressure gauges are typically installed at strategic locations within the vehicle's compressed air
system. They are commonly found near the storage tanks, at the air compressor outlet, and at critical points
in the pneumatic circuit. Integration with Control Systems of Pressure gauges can be integrated into the
vehicle's control system to provide real-time pressure data for monitoring and control purposes. This
allows for automated pressure regulation and system protection

Pressure gauges play a vital role in the safe and efficient operation of air-powered vehicles. They
provide valuable information about the pressure status of the compressed air system, allowing operators
to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to maintain optimal performance and safety.

Fig-6: Pressure Gauage


5.6 POLY PIPES FOR AIR SYSTEM:
Poly pipe is a company that makes plastic piping systems for the residential, commercial, civil, and
infrastructure markets. Drainage, plumbing, water supply, water management, cable management, heating,
and ventilation are just few of the applications for pipe systems. Poly pipes, also known as polyethylene
pipes, are commonly used in air systems for their durability, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Here's some
information about poly pipes in air systems of Material of Poly pipes are made from polyethylene, a
thermoplastic polymer.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) are the most commonly
used types for air system applications. Durability of Poly pipes are highly durable and can withstand the
demanding conditions of air systems. They have excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, and environmental
stress cracking, making them suitable for both underground and aboveground installations. Corrosion
Resistance of Poly pipes are resistant to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation, making them an ideal choice
for air systems. They can withstand exposure to moisture, humidity, and various chemicals commonly found in
compressed air applications.

Flexibility of Poly pipes are known for their flexibility, which allows for easier installation and routing
in complex air system configurations. They can be easily bent and maneuvered around obstacles without the
need for excessive fittings or joints. Pressure Ratings of Poly pipes come in different pressure ratings to
accommodate various air system requirements. Jointing Methods of Poly pipes in air systems are typically joined
using heat fusion methods, such as butt fusion or electrofusion. These methods create strong and leak-free
connections between pipe sections, ensuring the integrity of the air system.

Fig-7: Hose

Maintenance: Poly pipes generally require minimal maintenance. However, it's important to periodically
inspect the pipes for any signs of damage, leaks, or degradation.
CHAPTER-6: CRASH-SAFETY

CRASH-SAFETY:
The safety of light-weight vehicle air tanks in severe collisions has yet to be proven. The
feasibility of an ultra- light vehicle assembled with adhesives to provide acceptable crash safety results has
yet to be tested in North America, and sceptics question the ability of an ultra-light vehicle assembled with
adhesives to produce acceptable crash safety results. The vehicle, according to Shiva Vencat, vice president
of MDI and CEO of Zero Pollution Motors, would pass crash tests and exceed US safety standards. He is
adamant that the millions of dollars spent on the Air Car would not be wasted. There has never been a
lightweight, 100-mpg-plus automobile that has passed crash testing in North America. Although
technological advancements may eventually make this possible, the Air Car has yet to prove its worth, and
doubts about crash safety persist. Reduce the power required to operate the automobile as much as
possible to achieve an acceptable range with an air car. This forces the design to be as light as possible.

According to a survey by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States, “very
little cars” have the highest mortality rate per mile travelled among ten distinct classes of passenger
vehicles. For example, a 55- year-old driver who drives 12,000 miles per year has a 1% probability of
being killed in a car collision. This is more than twice the incidence of fatalities in the safest vehicle class,
a "big automobile." The number of fatal crashes per mile, according to the statistics in this report, is only
marginally connected with vehicle weight, with a correlation coefficient of just 0.01. (-0.45). The size of
the vehicle within its class has a stronger correlation; for example, “large” cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs
had lower fatality rates than “small” cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs. With the exception of mid-size
vehicles, where minivans and mid-size cars are among the safest classes, while mid-size SUVs are the
second most fatal after very small cars, this is true in seven of the ten classes.

Even though heavier vehicles are sometimes statistically safer, the greater weight is not always the
reason for this. “Historically, heavier cars have done a better job cushioning occupant compartment allow
for a more progressive deceleration of the vehicle, as well as the occupant within it... While light vehicles
might theoretically be designed with comparable long hoods and moderate deceleration pulses, this
would very certainly necessitate significant changes in materials and construction, as well as the removal
of weight from their engines, accessories, and other components.
CHAPTER-7: DEVELOPERS AND MANUFACTURER

DEVELOPERS AND MANUFACTURER:

Compressed air automobiles are being researched, developed, and deployed by a number of firms.
Reports of anticipated production that were too optimistic stretch back to at least May 1999. The MDI Air
Car, for example, debuted in South Africa in 2002 and was expected to go into their occupants in
crashes,” according to the NHTSA research. Their larger hoods and additional space in the production
“within six months” in January 2004. The air automobile was never produced in South Africa as of January
2009. In order to extend the range and performance of their cars, most of the cars in development use
similar technology to low-energy vehicles.
One prominent name in the development of air-powered vehicles is Tata Motors, an Indian
automotive manufacturer. They have invested in the research and development of air-powered vehicles
and have showcased prototypes in the past. Tata Motors developed a compressed air car concept called
the Air Pod, which is a small urban vehicle powered by compressed air. However, it's important to note
that as of my knowledge cutoff, the Air Pod was still in the prototype stage and not available for
commercial purchase.

It's worth mentioning that the development of air-powered vehicles faces several challenges,
including energy storage, efficiency, and infrastructure limitations. Compressed air tends to have lower
energy density compared to other power sources like gasoline or electricity, which can limit the range
and performance of air-powered vehicles. Overcoming these challenges and making air-powered
vehicles commercially viable on a large scale has proven to be a complex task.
Air-powered vehicles are a unique type of vehicle that use compressed air as a power source. While
there have been some experimental prototypes and concepts for air-powered vehicles, as of my
knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there are no widely available commercial air-powered vehicles on
the market. However, I can provide you with some information about the development and potential
manufacturers in this field.

Another company involved in the development of air-powered vehicles is MDI (Motor


Development International), a French company founded by Guy negre. MDI has been working on
compressed air engine technology for several years and has showcased various prototypes, including
cars and urban transport solutions.

7.1 MDI (MOTOR DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL):

AIR Pod, One Flow Air, City Flow Air, Mini Flow Air, and Multi Flow Air are among the vehicles
proposed by MDI. One of the company's most notable breakthroughs is the adoption of its "active chamber,"
which is a compartment that heats the air (using a fuel) to double the energy production. In 1904, this
'invention' was first used in torpedoes. The technology employed in MDI's air-powered vehicles involved
storing compressed air in high-pressure tanks, which would then power the vehicle's engine. The air
would expand and drive pistons, creating mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. One of the claimed
advantages of air-powered vehicles was their potential for zero tailpipe emissions, as the only byproduct
of the air compression process is air itself.
MDI showcased several prototypes and concepts for air-powered vehicles over the years, including the
"Air Pod" and the "One Flow AIR." These vehicles were primarily designed for urban commuting, with
small frames and lightweight construction. They were intended to be environmentally friendly and
affordable to operate.

Fig-8: Air powered vehicle

7.2 TATA MOTORS:

Tata Motors of India had intended to produce a car with an MDI compressed air engine in 2011 as
of January 2009. The short range and low engine temperatures were causing problems, according to
Tata's vice president of engineering systems in December 2009. In May 2012, Tata Motors reported that
the design had passed phase one of the ”proof of technical concept” process, paving the way for full
manufacturing for the Indian market. Tata has moved on to phase two, which entails “further detailed
development of the compressed air engine for specific automotive and stationary applications.”

Dr. Tim Leverton, president and head of Tata Advanced and Product Engineering, said in February 2017
that the company was “starting industrialization” and that the first vehicles will be available by 2020.
According to other sources, Tata is also considering bringing back plans for a compressed air version of
the Tata Nano, which was previously considered as part of their collaboration with MDI.

Tata Motors, an Indian multinational automotive manufacturing company, had not publicly
announced any specific plans or initiatives related to air-powered vehicles. Tata Motors is known for
producing a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles.
However, it's worth noting that the automotive industry is constantly evolving, and new developments
and partnerships can arise beyond my knowledge cutoff date. Therefore, it's recommended to refer to
official sources or recent news from Tata Motors to obtain the most up-to-date information regarding
their involvement in air-powered vehicles or any other alternative propulsion technologies.

7.3 PEUGEOT:

Peugeot and Citron revealed their intention to develop a vehicle that runs on compressed air.
However, the automobile they're working on features a hybrid system that includes a gasoline engine
(which is utilized to get the car up to 70 km/h or when the compressed air tank runs out). ”Disappointing
news from France: PSA Peugeot Citroen has put an indefinite hold on the development of its promising-
sounding Hybrid Air powertrain, apparently because the company has been unable to find a development
partner willing to split the huge costs of engineering the system,” according to a press release from
January 2015. The system's development expenses are estimated to be 500 million euros, and it would
appear that it would need to be installed in roughly 500,000 automobiles each year to make financial
sense. In 2014, the project's leader left Peugeot.

Peugeot, a French automotive manufacturer, had not announced any specific plans or initiatives
related to air-powered vehicles. Peugeot is known for producing a range of vehicles, including passenger
cars, commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles.
It's important to note that the automotive industry is constantly evolving, and new developments and

CHAPTER-8: CASE STUDY

8.1 Air Pod – The Mini Car:


Air Pod is a hybrid vehicle created by Motor Development International in partnership
with Tata Motors in India and Air France in Paris. It is powered by compressed air. The AirPod’s engine is
made up of two cylinders that are linked together. At a constant pressure of 20 bars, compressed air enters
the smaller cylinder first. The intake is closed when the smaller piston bottoms out, and the air in the small
cylinder expands, pouring into the bigger cylinder. The cycle then repeats itself as both pistons move to
exhaust the increased air. When completely expanded at constant temperature, the 80 kg of compressed air
in the Air Pods tank can generate 11.2 kilowatt-hours of mechanical energy. The manufacturing plant in
Sardinia, Italy, has been built up, and the product will be ready in the market by the summer of 2014.

Fig-11: Air pod- The Mini car

The Air Pod, which is presently at the prototype stage, is expected to hit the market in a few years.
The Air Pod is powered by a battery-powered electric motor and compressed air. What's actually
revolutionary is that the ease with which air can be converted into energy using simple everywhere, with
no provisioning, no trucks transporting gas, ethanol, or hydrogen, and no emissions, just air discharge. It
creates and stores some energy while braking, just as traditional electric vehicles.

12
Fig-12: Interior of Air Pod

The Air Pod can travel 125 miles (200 kilometers) at a top speed of 28 to 43 mph (45 to 70kph). The
vehicle is designed for one person and features a tiny cargo compartment in the back. While the technology
is a breakthrough in terms of clean and ecologically friendly engines, the car's single-user design may make
it unsuitable for many users, particularly in India and other highly congested areas of the world. None of
the other businesses working on air cars, including Tata, have firm manufacturing plans. There are
certainly issues that need to be addressed, but will there ever be an air car that is practical enough to attract
consumers away from future electric vehicles?

For the time being, the concept has only been tested in two Tata vehicles, and both Tata and MDI
are striving to further enhance the technology. It would be at least a couple of years before we learn
anything major about the product's launch in India. MDI reports that the device costs roughly $10,000
USD, which translates to around Rs. 5-6 lakhs in India.

One of the main advantages of the Air Pod is its claimed environmental friendliness, as it produces
zero tailpipe emissions. Additionally, it was intended to be an affordable and efficient mode of
transportation for short urban trips.

8.2 RESULT AND ANALYSIS:
8.2.1 Driving Shaft Speed vs Pressure:
When seen in the diagram below, as the pressure grows gradually, the speed achieved
increases linearly, however after a certain pressure range, as the pressure increases, a rated or top speed
is obtained. With an increase in air pressure at in late, there will be a very tiny change after this speed.

Chart -1: Graph Speed vs Pressure

8.2.2 Torque vs Pressure:

Chart -2: Graph Torque vs Pressure

The nature of the graph is depicted in the diagram. We can see from the graph that the initial torque
produced is quite modest, but as the pressure grows, so does the torque.

CHAPTER-9: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

9.1 Advantages:
The main benefits of an air-powered engine are:
• It uses no gasoline or other bio-carbon based fuel.
• Refueling can be done at home, but filling the tanks to full pressure would necessitate compressors
capable of 250-300 bars, which are not often available for home use due to the dangers associated with
these pressures. If such cars become popular enough to warrant it, service stations would have to
construct the required air facilities, just as they would with gasoline.
• Because no cooling system, spark plugs, starter motor, or mufflers are required, compressed air
engines minimize vehicle production costs.
• In comparison to batteries that progressively decrease their charge over time, the rate of self-discharge
is quite low. As a result, unlike electric cars, the vehicle can be left unattended for longer periods of
time.
• When compressed air expands, its temperature drops, which can be used as air conditioning.
• Hazardous substances such as gasoline and battery acids/metals are reduced or eliminated.
• By compressing and storing air, some mechanical arrangements may provide energy recovery during
braking.
• According to Lund University in Sweden, utilizing an air-hybrid system, buses might improve their
fuel efficiency by up to 60%. However, this only applies to hybrid air vehicles (owing to energy
recuperation during braking), not compressed air-only cars.

9.1.2 Disadvantages:
The main drawbacks are the energy conversion and transmission phases, which both have inherent losses.
When chemical energy in fossil fuels is transformed by the engine to mechanical energy, energy is lost in
combustion engine cars. Electric automobiles use electricity from a power plant (from any source) to
charge their batteries, which then send the electricity to the car's motor, which transforms it to
mechanical energy. Compressed-air cars use electricity from a power plant to operate a compressor,
which compresses the air into the car's tank mechanically. The compressed air is subsequently converted
to mechanical energy by the car's engine.

15
• When air expands in the engine, it cools rapidly and requires a heat exchanger to bring it up to
ambient temperature. To achieve a considerable portion of the theoretical energy output, heating is
required. While the heat exchanger serves the same purpose as an intercooler in an internal
combustion engine, the temperature differential between the incoming air and the working gas is
lower. The device becomes extremely chilly when heating the stored air and may frost up in cool,
humid regions.
• This necessitates thoroughly dehydrating the compressed air as well. The engine will halt owing to
interior ice if there is any dampness in the compressed air. Complete removal of humidity
necessitates more energy that cannot be reused and must be wasted.
• When air is squeezed to fill the tank, however, the temperature rises. If the stored air is not cooled
when the tank is being filled, the pressure of the air will drop and the amount of energy available will
decrease.

16
CHAPTER-10: CONCLUSIONS

Compressed air is already being investigated for vehicle propulsion, and air-powered vehicles are
now being developed as a more fuel-efficient mode of transportation. Some automakers are looking on
compressed air hybrids and compressed fluids to store energy in vehicles, which might pave the way for
the development of a low-cost air- powered vehicle design. Unfortunately, serious issues must be
resolved before air-powered vehicles can become a reality for widespread use. However, with advances
in science and technology, as well as a growing awareness of the need to replace expensive
transportation methods, air- powered vehicles will undoubtedly see the light of day.
Air-powered vehicles, also known as compressed air vehicles (CAVs), have been explored as a
potential alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. While they offer some advantages, there
are several key limitations and challenges associated with air-powered vehicles that have led to a lack of
widespread adoption. Here are some conclusions regarding air-powered vehicles:

Limited Energy Density of a Compressed air has a relatively low energy density compared to other
fuel sources such as gasoline or electricity. This means that a large volume of compressed air is required
to store a sufficient amount of energy to power a vehicle for a reasonable distance. As a result, air-
powered vehicles often face range limitations, making them more suitable for short-distance urban
applications.

Efficiency Challenges of The energy efficiency of air-powered vehicles is a concern. The


compression and expansion processes required to store and release the energy from compressed air
result in significant energy losses. This reduces the overall efficiency of the system and makes it less
competitive with other propulsion technologies. Infrastructure Limitations: Air-powered vehicles
require specialized infrastructure for refueling or recharging compressed air. The lack of a widespread
refueling network is a major obstacle to the adoption of air-powered vehicles on a large scale. Building
the necessary infrastructure would require substantial investments and may not be economically viable
in many regions.
Limited Market Availability: Despite some prototype vehicles and small-scale production, air-
powered vehicles have not gained significant market traction. The limited availability of commercially
viable air-powered vehicle models and the associated costs have hindered their widespread adoption.
Manufacturers and consumers have generally favored other alternative technologies such as electric
vehicles due to their higher energy density and established charging infrastructure

CHAPTER-5: HOW AI AND ML IS RELATED TO EACH OTHER:
AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) are two closely related concepts, with ML
being a subfield of AI. In simple terms, AI refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that typically
require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and learning. ML, on the other
hand, is a subset of AI that focuses on enabling machines to learn from data without being explicitly
programmed.
AI and ML are increasingly being used in a variety of applications, such as natural language
processing, image recognition, and autonomous vehicles. They have the potential to transform many
industries, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing and transportation.

12
ALGORITHM USED IN ChatGPT:
As an AI language model, ChatGPT uses a combination of algorithms and techniques for data
collection, training, comparison, and reinforcement. Here are some of the key algorithms that
ChatGPT employs:
1. Data Collection Algorithm: ChatGPT is trained on a large corpus of text data, which is collected from
various sources such as books, articles, websites, and social media platforms. The data is preprocessed
to remove noise and irrelevant information, and to convert it into a format that can be used for training.
2. Training Algorithm: ChatGPT uses a variant of the transformer neural network architecture, called
GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), for training. The training process involves feeding the model
with input sequences and predicting the next word in the sequence. The model is trained using a variant
of the unsupervised learning technique, called self-supervised learning, where the model learns to predict
the next word in a sentence based on the context provided by the previous words in the sentence.
3. Comparison Algorithm: ChatGPT uses a variant of the cosine similarity algorithm for comparing the
similarity between input text and the text in its training corpus. The algorithm calculates the cosine of
the angle between the two vectors, where the vectors represent the input text and the text in the training
corpus.
4. Reinforcement Learning Algorithm: ChatGPT does not use a traditional reinforcement learning
algorithm, as it is not explicitly designed for task-specific learning. However, ChatGPT can be fine-
tuned for specific tasks, such as text completion or question-answering, using supervised learning
algorithm with labeled data.
Overall, ChatGPT uses a combination of advanced algorithms and techniques to generate human-
like responses to user inputs.

ChatGPT: our study shows AI can produce academic papers good enough for
journals – just as some ban it
Published: January 26, 2023 1.38pm GMT Updated: January 27, 2023 4.34pm GMT
• Some of the world’s biggest academic journal publishers have banned or curbed their authors from
using the advanced chatbot, ChatGPT.
• Several researchers have already listed the chatbot as a co-author on academic studies, and some
publishers have moved to ban this practice. For version two, we pasted into the ChatGPT window just
under 200 abstracts (summaries) of relevant, existing research studies. We then asked that the program
take these into account when creating the four research stagesWe then requested a panel of 32 reviewers
each review one version of how ChatGPT can be used to generate an academic study.
• The big take-home lesson was that all these studies were generally considered acceptable by the
expert reviewers.

METHODS:
1. We trained this model using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), using the
same methods as InstructGPT, but with slight differences in the data collection setup.
2. We trained an initial model using supervised fine-tuning: human AI trainers provided
conversations in which they played both sides—the user and an AI assistant.
3. To create a reward model for reinforcement learning, we needed to collect comparison data,
which consisted of two or more model responses ranked by quality.
4. To collect this data, we took conversations that AI trainers had with the chatbot. We randomly
selected a model-written message, sampled several alternative completions, and had AI trainers
rank them.Using these reward models, we can fine-tune the model using Proximal Policy
Optimization. We performed several iterations of this process.
