HISTORY The first recorded compressed-air vehicle in

France was built by the Frenchmen Andraud and Tessie of Motay in 1838.

After that many attempts have been made to

invent some new technologies.

At present (2008) various persons and companies are developing compressed air motors applicable to transportation, apart from the many companies that produce and commercialize compressed air motors for industrial purposes.

Out of them MDI’s GUY NEGRE is most successful.

PRINCIPLE OF WORKKING

Instead of using energy from the combustion of charge, air car uses expansion of compressed air for generating power.

DETAILS OF MDI AIR CAR

Air tank Specifications :-

Maximum effective

pressure: (300 bars) The tanks weigh 35 - 40

kg for 100 liters of air at 300 bars.

Material : C fibre

FilterCarbon filter

Fig : Location of air tank with a protective plate fixed on chasis

DETAILS OF MDI AIR CAR

• Chassis : Al + glued together + light in wt.

REFUELING

Air stations : a rapid three-minute

recharge is possible, using a high-pressure air pump

Household electrical source :

motor compressor refills the tank by plugging to mains

It takes 4 hours

ADVANTAGES :

Free fuel No emissions , cleans the air (exhaust 0 to -

15C) Economical (Price upto Rs. 7lac)

No explosion on accident Noise free smooth operation No need of cooling,ignition systems – reduce

cost of production upto 20% Refueling ($1.5 for 200 km)

(1) Family car: Description: A spacious car with seats which can face different directions.

The vehicles design is based on needs of typical family Features: Airbag, air conditioning, 6 seats ,$17,800

(2) Van: Description: Design for daily use in industrial urban or rural environments

whose primary drivers would be tradesmen farmers and delivery drivers. Features : Airbag, air conditioning, 2 seats.
