Pneumatic Vehicle, Research and Design

This paper describes the research, design and construction of a viable experimental pneumatic driven vehicle. The main goal is to find ways to drive efficient by using alternative energy, not necessary cheaper, but more environmental friendly in increasing polluted metropolis. This is done by taking the emission source from the vehicle's tail pipe to the central electrical generating plant. Emission control measures at a central generating plant may be more effective and less costly than treating the emissions of widely dispersed vehicles. Where low emissions sources are available like: aeolian, water, solar, and nitrogen byproducts; net production of pollutants can be reduced. The background results used in this study are obtained by designing, building and testing five experimental configurations of compressed-air/gas vehicles. This study presents the latest one of these five vehicles.
