Abstract

In the current scenario the fast depleting of fossil fuel and also the climate change of the earth due to the pollution of air by the combustion products. Besides that, the latest trend of automotive nowadays is actually light weight vehicle. Air is just surrounding us, it is clean, inexpensive, and also an infinite renewable source energy. According to the research, car and truck have produce a significant amount air pollution to the environment. The hazardous gases release by the vehicle which including CO (Carbon Monoxide), SO2 (Sulphur dioxide), NOx (Nitrogen Oxide), HC (Hydrocarbons), and also those greenhouse gases. All these gases have result in the terrible climates changes of the earth and also the drastically changes of temperature of the environment. Air driven engine is actually using the Compressed Air Technology (CAT) to run the engine. Furthermore, this project was researched on the working principle and working theory of the air driven engine. Besides that, researched on the efficiency of the air driven engine from the previous design air driven engine thus to proposed an improvement solution. Moreover, researched on the potential advantages and disadvantage of the air driven engine. Furthermore, in this research will going to use experimental method to analyse efficiency of the air engine by determined the different in the input power and output power. In the experiment, the light weight piston will be replaced to improve the efficiency of the air driven engine. Through the experimental method, the two strokes engine was designed and developed and it produced 5.6 horsepower from a 7-horsepower compressed air generator. The designed air driven engine can produce up to 80% efficiency.
