A STUDY ON AIR POWERED MOTORCYCLE

Mechanical Engineering

Presently in Taiwan, there are greater than 13 million bikes, on the whole pushed with the aid of internal combustion engines, and the pollutants, carbon monoxide (CO) and unburnt hydrocarbons (HC), generated by motorbike are liable for more than 10% of the air pollutants released to the ecosystem. The research show that the internal combustion engines of motorcycles may additionally generate up to 2 times more pollutants than those of automobiles. Which will enhance the air pollution circumstance and cast off the pollutants laborious, this paper presents a brand new idea of using compressed air as the energy sources for bikes in place of an inner combustion engine, this motorcycle is prepared with an air motor, which transforms the power of the compressed air into mechanical motion electricity. A prototype is built with a fuzzy common sense velocity controller and examined on the actual road. The test records suggests that the velocity error is within 1 km/h and the efficiency is above 70% for this gadget while the velocity is over 20 km/h.
