Design of a System that uses Air as a Source of Alternative Energy to Run CNG Three-Wheelers

It is now a banal truth that the environment is being subjected to plenty of environmental hazards. These are attributable to pollution that has completely overwhelmed the environment which in turn is also responsible for bringing about atrocious changes to the environment. The principle reason behind this change is increased carbon emission. Every day, a huge amount of carbon is released in the air because of burning fuel which results in Global Warming. People are gradually realizing this concern and have gradually started to use alternative sources of energy. This paper is about a design of an application which will help facilitate a revolution in Bangladesh. In this design Four Vane Air Motors act as the prime mover. Vane Air Motors contain vanes within an air tight body onto which air at high pressure is passed. The vanes are directly connected to a rotating shaft and hence any force on the vanes causes a torque, which can rotate the shaft helping to drive any load connected to it. Not only does this solve an age old question of finding an energy efficient fuel source, it also proves that efficient fuel can also be environment friendly. The Existing CNG Threewheeler plying the roads of Bangladesh is scrutinized versus the proposed air powered model. Like any new technology, it still has its boundaries but after weighing out the pros and cons of this technology, it can be safely construed that compressed air technology is
