 INTRODUCCION
• caused by the technological advance that originate different sources of
pollution.
• caused mainly by the emanation of CO2 from conventional vehicles that
operate with internal combustion.
• Compressed air has been used since the nineteenth century to power
locomotives and trams in cities.
• Our project basically tries to create a car with the help of water and
compressed air.
• With the intention of capturing the knowledge acquired during the race and
with the idea of translating these into a mechanical theme.

• Also the dependence on gasoline is an important factor due to the

continuous increase in this form of energy.

• That is why we propose this project with the aim of selecting a complete
pneumatic system.
 OBJECTIVES
• GENERAL OBJECTIVES
• -Design a car driven air pressure understanding the laws of pressure
• SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
• -Design and innovate by mechanical physics an air car
• -That the air generates movement without the need for electrical energy by
air
The career of Mechanical Engineering is a
specialization that provides a very amount of
knowledge to be from the moment of
development of a machine, to achieve its
realization, operation and monitoring, to
improve and solve the various problems that
may arise.
Studying the career of Mechanical Engineering
gives the possibility to the professional to
participate in all the projects. You can make
from very small to very large pieces that make
up machines.
Our project is based on the application of all knowledge, using
programs and various techniques to put the pieces together. an
advantage of this project is that it works with clean energy
Solidworks: Autocad:
It serves to model 3D It serves to generate plans
parts and do several and also you can model
simulations. 3D parts
Welding: Welding is a Unions removable: It is
fixing process where the used for fixing parts that
union of two or more need to be assembled and
pieces of a material is disassembled.
made.
This type of energy does not generate waste that pollutes,
it helps the environment.
 DEVELOMENT

• Parts
• - Cylinder
• - Piston
• - Crankshaft
• - Carriage structure
• - Pipes for air intake
• - Air regulation valves
• Materials:
• - Small engine
• - Crankshaft support.
• - Copper pipes
• - Any wheel.
• - Wood plank
• - Screws for the cylinder support.
• - Screws for the crankshaft support.
• - Adapters for pipes
• - Step valves
• - Small band
 FUNCTIONING

• The operation is based on the pressure as of the air or of steam that is going
to enter by a conduit towards the engine, with the pressure obtained the
piston set inside the engine will cause it to have a constant movement that
will turn into turning movement which will be connected to the wheels by
means of a crankshaft.
• The wheels and the crankshaft can be connected with a flexible band.

 CONCLUSION
• Through this project, we seek to sensitize people to improve, in the sense of
not destroying our planet. The project basically tries to create a car in a
simple way, mechanically operating different types of movements of
compressed air
