A Possible Alternative to the Gasoline Power: Air Compressed Car

Rucha D. Bhosale, Krishna T. Madrewar

Abstract


To increase handling and overall efficiency, the automobile industry is currently concentrating on the creation of lightweight vehicles. Vehicle weight must be reduced since large vehicles emit more hazardous gases like CO2 and SO2, which contribute to global warming. To find environmentally friendly lightweight vehicle alternatives, a lot of research is being done. Compressed air can be used as a power source for cars as one such alternative. The purpose of this study is to review the literature on compressed air technology, including any potential benefits and drawbacks for light-weight cars
