The air driven engine is an eco-friendly engine which operates with compressed air. An air driven engine is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. There is no mixing of fuel with air as there is no combustion, an air driven engine makes use of compressed air technology for its operation. The compressed air technology is quite simple, conventionally rotary air engine are used but they require high operating pressure and high air consumption hence they find limited applications. The aim of project is to develop a micro air consumption engine with low air consumption up to 3cc per stroke and will operate such that when this compressed air expands, the energy is released to do work. So, this energy in compressed air is utilized to displace a piston which operates a linear to rotary actuator which further drives the energy multiplier flywheel. Thus, together by combination of the micro air consumption engine and novel flywheel we can get the maximum possible mileage from the compressed air. The project wok will include design, development and analysis of the air engine, rotary linear actuator, modified energy multiplier flywheel and the vehicle to demonstrate the working of the combined system.
