Here is the compressed air bike , first time in India. It uses compressed air as fuel . This is done as Mechanical engineering final year project by the students of L.B.S.C.E Kasargod.

  • What is the tank size and pressure?

    What is the range? Is it just the short run that is shown in the video?

    The range is apparently what keeps the MDI air car from going into production. The low energy density of compressed air offers a big challenge to anyone trying to make a commercially viable vehicle.

  • tank size is just 10L and it is filled with 150bar pressure and it works on just 5 bar pressure.

    Now its just short range purpose only. I think we can improve it by some more modification.

  • hi bro's the effort u did is vry nice......can u give small idea how to make it more effective......i need more information abt this dude

  • do you know how much bar or psi drives the piston down to get this speed? is there some proportion or something of amount of pressure exerted on piston to rpm? thanks!

  • @Nidhinkoroth Even if you improved it 100 times it would still be slow and short range. You need to do the mathematics to understand this is a waste of time

  • plz tell me what should be the thickness of the tank?

  • Hey Indians!Why don't you put a system to warm the air?A tube with resistances inside like a hair-drier?And(don't laugh)what about a turbocompressor?to have more air in the cylinder?It cost nothing to try!No?I wish you succes.

  • @Nidhinkoroth Modifications!!

    Do some basic math

    swept volume of the engine per revolution of the wheel = Volume of air exhausted per distance

    Capacity of tank at s.t.p. divided by volume per distance = range which will be the maximum theoretical range and will be appalling.
