Tata not only stop at the smallest 4-seater Nano, but still onwards to somewhat impossible but to be happened unbelievably. That is, to create gas-free automobile.
In associated with MDI company of France, Tata pushes to another limit of automotive via alternate-energy world. The concept here is: Air power. Which combusts the cylinder without gas definitely. Cylinders work as usual. Then affects to the transmission, to the wheels, to work in last. Yet remained same all processes just like ordinary 4-stroked engine. The car we see in this episode is an experimental gas-free vehicle based on MDI's CityCat, the microvan.
How does this work?
The CATS (compressed air technology system) here in form of 2-stroked engine consists of pistons, one camshaft and connecting rods, all tuned to handle air pressure energy instead of gas. To the transmission, to the wheels.
At the same time, changes to the con-rod system allows the engine piston to be held at Top Dead centre for 70 degrees of the cycle. And with divided appropriate time given to create pressure in the cylinder. The torque is nearly better; the force exerted on the crankshaft is less than in ordinary system.
According to Dhnes Seniwong Na Ayuthya, he said that this kind of innovation based on concept to find another appropriate usable alternate energy for automobile instead of gas. If they're worked together like that, power and torque then can be appeared of course.
I remember well that BMW already depended on wind energy too since late 90's.
Wow...very great idea!!
