INTRODUCTION
The use of FUEL-power in more efficient manner for generation of electricity has been possible due to modern technology.

A proto-type model is implemented in our project. In this apparatus,

the user has to air power to drive the car. At intermediate steps the car to driver by compressed air ,this air rotate by displacement motion into rotary motion . Energy recovery in a vehicle during braking by compressing air also generates heat, which must be conserved for efficiency

BLOCK DIAGRAM

This is one type of rack-and-pinion (straight and round gear) crankshaft substitute. Also known as mangle racks, because they were used in the mangle, the early pedal-powered rotary ironing machines, to convert reciprocating motion to the

rotary motion of an ironing drum

Air motors are powered by compressed air. They operate at relatively high speeds in industrial and spark-prohibited applications. They can be regulated easily for speed and torque, and can stop and reverse very quickly. They are commonly used in many industrial applications

Working principal

The car is taken at the compressor site. The compressor is made ON till the pressure in the storage tank reaches 12 bar pressure. Here the minimum operating pressure required to propel the vehicle is 7 bar. The flexible hose is coupled with the compressor tank and the air storage tank installed on the air car. Keeping the compressor ON, The air storage tank on the frame of the vehicle is inflated up to 12 bar pressure. Then the compressor coupling pipe is removed. The utility valve which supplies the air from the air tank to the direction control valve is gradually opened. The 5/2 direction control valve is operated such that the air motor starts operating. The air motor shaft is installed with the sprocket wheel and chain arrangement such that it will drive the other sprocket wheel which is installed on the wheel shaft. The wheel starts rolling and the vehicle is propelled towards forward direction.

Advantages

Compressed air engines reduce the cost of vehicle production, because there is no need to build a cooling system, spark plugs, starter motor Expansion of the compressed air lowers its temperature; this may be exploited for use as air conditioning. Reduction or elimination of hazardous chemicals such as gasoline or battery acids/metals Some mechanical configurations may allow energy recovery during braking by compressing and storing air.

Disadvantages

necessity of completely dehydrating the compressed air. If any humidity subsists in the compressed air, the engine will stop due to inner icing. Removing the humidity completely requires even additional energy that cannot be reused and is lost
