INVERSION OF SLIDER CRANK
MECHANISM
The slider crank mechanism has a four links
connected by three revolute joints and one
prismatic joint of lower pair or surface contact.
In this inversion the cylinder is fixed and piston
inside reciprocates and this reciprocating motion
is converted in to the rotary motion of crank.
In this system a double acting pneumatic cylinder
operated as a slider crank mechanism that
converts the linear reciprocation of the cylinder
piston rod into oscillatory motion of the driver
crank about the pinion shaft.
Introduction
Compressed Air Powered Vehicle utilizes the power of
compressed air to operate the engine.
In a pneumatic system, the working fluid is a gas
(mostly air) which is compressed above atmospheric
pressure to impart pressure energy to the molecules.
This stored pressure potential is converted to a
suitable mechanical work in an appropriate controlled
sequence using control valves and actuators.
Conversion of various combinations of motions like
rotary-rotary, linear-rotary and linear-linear is possible.
The simplicity in design, durability and compact size of
pneumatic systems make them well suited for mobile
applications.
Specifications of engine
Working
The line diagram of the vehicle is as shown in the
figure below. In compressed air powered vehicle,
the working of engine is carried out in two cycles.
This has been achieved by the modifying the 4stroke engine. The compressed air is fed to the
engine through the receiver tank.
The pressure regulator valve regulates the
pressure of air which is to be fed to the engine.
The compressed air is fed to the engine from the
compressor tank through the pressure regulator
valve.
Conclusion
In this project a preliminary investigation is
carried out to run a vehicle on compressed air.
The AIR POWERED CARS are the best options
which provide most comprehensive answer to the
present urban pollution problems in simple,
economic and inoffensive manner.
These are clean, easy to drive, comparatively low
cost and does not take a life time to pay off.
