P URPOSE

Gasoline is becoming more expensive andimpractical.

It is also damaging to the environment.

It is not a renewable resource, it will eventually runout.

Air Powered cars runs on compressed air instead ofgasoline, with zero pollution.

HISTORY

Charles B. Hodges will always be remembered as thetrue father of the compressed air concept applied tocars, being the first person, not only to invent a car

driven by a compressed air engine but also to haveconsiderable commercial success with it.In 1979, Terry Miller decided that compressed air wasthe perfect medium for storing energy. He developedAir Car . It was feasible to manufacture a car that couldrun on compressed air.

ADVANTAGES

Refuelling can be done at home using an aircompressor or at service stations. The energyrequired for compressing air is produced at largecentralized plants, making it less costly and moreeffective to manage carbon emissions than fromindividual vehicles.Compressed air engines reduce the cost of vehicleproduction, because there is no need to build a

cooling system, spark plugs, starter motor, ormufflers.Reduction or elimination of hazardous chemicalssuch as gasoline or battery acids/metals

LIMITATIONS

The vehicle's air compressor will probably run ongasoline and this gas will produce pollution whenburned.Distance could also become a disadvantages. (lessthan 100 miles)If an air car suffers damage in an accidentcompressed air tanks can be dangerous.Refuelling the compressed-air container using ahome or low-end conventional air compressor maytake as long as 4 hours
