Indian Scientist duo design compressed air powered bike engine. This was the news published in the news daily DNA which is published in India.
Two Indian Scientists have broken new ground by conceptually designing a new ,cleaner motorcycle engine which is powered by compressed air. The engine uses compressed air to turn a small air turbine, generating enough power to run a motorcycle for up to 40 minutes.
Their design, described in a paper appearing in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, could be combined with a compressed air cylinder as a replacement for traditional internal combustion engines.
In areas where motorcycles are a major source of public transportation, such a technology could cut emissions substantially if widely implemented.
According to Bharat Raj Singh ,one of the two authors on the paper and a researcher at the SMS Institute Technology in Lucknow,India some 50 -60 percent of present emissions in some areas could be reduced with the new technology ,though a no. of technical challenges remain.
Designing a compact but high capacity air tank to store sufficient fuel for long rides is a major hurdle.
Existing tanks would require some one to stop about every 30 km to swap tanks.
