    This document discusses a project to produce compressed air using a vehicle's suspension system. As the vehicle moves over uneven road surfaces, the suspension springs would power a pneumatic system to compress air. This compressed air could then be stored in a tank and used for various purposes like vehicle propulsion, air conditioning, or cleaning. The system would utilize components like a frame, non-return valve, air tank, quick exhaust valve, hoses, flow control valve, and pneumatic cylinder to capture the energy from the suspension and produce compressed air without using any fuel. Literature on utilizing vehicle suspension energy and using compressed air for applications like air conditioning is also reviewed.

    Abstract:

    This project includes how the compressed air is produced by vehicle


    suspension. We know pneumatic energy is readily available and low-
    cost energy. Now-a-days non-conventional energy system is very
    essential to the world due to extinguishment of fossil-fuels. So here
    we are focusing on pneumatic type of energy for this project. In this
    project compressed air can be produced with the help of vehicle
    suspension. Then this compressed air is used for several purposes.
    Compressed air production using vehicle suspension does not required
    any fuel for its working. So, in this project we are making a type of
    device that is used for producing compressed air for different purposes
    by using vehicle suspension. Compressed air may be used for running
    vehicle and air conditioning purposes. Here we start with an
    introduction to pneumatics in various applications and briefly explains
    a few devices capable of utilizing compressed air effectively.
    INTRODUCTION

    • Man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for his sustenance and well
    being ever since he came on the earth a few million years ago. Primitive man
    required energy primarily in the form of food.

    • He derived this by eating plants or animals, which he hunted. Subsequently he


    discovered fire and his energy needs increased as he started.

    • With further demand for energy, man began to use the wind for sailing ships and
    for driving windmills, and the force of falling water to turn water wheels.

    • Till this time, it would not be wrong to say that the sun was supplying all the
    energy needs of man either directly or indirectly and that man was using only
    renewable sources of energy
    COMPONENTS AND DESCRIPTION:

    Frame Arrangement
    This is made up of mild steel. The model frame is made up of mild steel
    pipe material. These steel pipes are welded to form a frame structure.

    NON-RETURN VALVE
    This valve is used to speed up the piston movement and also it acts as an one –
    way restriction valve which means that the air can passthrough only one way and it can't
    return back. By using this valve the time consumption is reduced because of the faster
    movement of the piston.

    AIR COLLECTING TANK


    The compressed air from the compressor is collected through non return valve by
    a pipeline system and stored
    Quick exhaust valve

    Any excess air in the air tank is flowed out automatically through the quick
    exhaust valve.
    Hose & connectors:

    Hoses used in this pneumatic system are made up of polyurethane. These hoses can with
    stand at a maximum pressure level of 10x105N/m2. In our system there are two types of
    connectors used. One is the Hose connector and the other is the reducer. Hose connectors
    normally comprise an adopt hose nipple and cap nut.
    These type of connectors are made up of brass or aluminum or hardened pneumatic steel.
    Flow control valve:

    This valve acts as an one – way restriction valve which means that the air can pass
    through only one way and it can't return back. A screw is provided to control the flow of air.

    Pneumatic Cylinder:

    The cylinder is a Single acting cylinder one, which means that the air pressure operates
    forward and spring returns backward . When the solenoid valve is operated by passing
    current to it compressed air is released into the pneumatic cylinder and the piston is acted
    forward to operate the brake lever
    Working operation:

    • The working model is a combination of frame arrangement, Non-


    return valve, Air collecting tank, Quick exhaust valve, Pu
    connectors reducer and house collar, flow control valve, pneumatic
    cylinder .

    • The complete diagram of compressed air production using vehicle


    suspension is given above.

    • When the vehicle moves on the uneven or irregular road surface the
    foot pump is operated by springs connected to wheels.
    • The foot pump connected to springs helps in reciprocating the
    piston inside the foot pump cylinder.

    • Thus the compressed air is produced from the foot pump outlet with
    a definite pressure, which is collected into the air tank.

    • This compressed air can be transferred to various devices for


    respective usages
    • such as refrigerators , air brakes, air – conditioners, cleaning
    purposes.
    Literature Review

    Sivanantham.K 1, Banuchandar.N2, Hariprakash.K 3, Jeeva.M:

    Vehicles, derived from the Latin word,


    vehiculum, are non-living means of transport. Vehicles may be
    propelled or pulled by animals, for instance, a chariot, a
    stagecoach. However, animals on their own, though used as a
    means of transport, are not called vehicles, but rather beasts of burde
    or draft animals. This distinction includes humans carrying another
    human, for example a child or a disabled person. A rickshaw is a
    vehicle that may carry a human and be powered by a human, but it is
    the mechanical form or cart that is powered by the human that is
    labelled as the vehicle. For some human-powered vehicles the human
    providing the power is labelled as a driver.
    Are classified broadly by what is used to apply steering
    and drive forces against the ground: wheeled, tracked,
    railed, or skied. While Vehicle running on the road
    ways, foot pump produces air in vehicle suspension.
    Generated air is stored in a tank. Here we are fabricating the
    model for four wheeler vehicles without using any fuel
    input, and it is known as pneumatic vehicle. The
    arrangement of the setup is using the pneumatic rotor (or)
    gun which is coupled with the worm shaft. The spur gear is
    connected with the rear wheel shaft which is engaged in the
    worm shaft. The front wheel drive is to make as the
    mechanism of rack and pinion which is coupled with
    the steering shaft.
    Brose S.H., Satpute A.G:

    Explained about air conditioning system by


    using vehicle suspension. When vehicle is run on bumpy road or uneven
    road then suspension spring move continuously up and down. The
    pneumatic cylinder is installed below this spring arrangement. This
    pushing power is supplied to pneumatic piston and cylinder
    arrangement which compresses the air. This compressed air is
    supplied to air tank through non return valve. By the placement of
    non return valve stops the back flow of pressurized air into cylinder
    again. That high pressurized compressed air is stored in air tank. When we
    want to turn on A.C. system the pressurized compressed air is
    supplied to parallel flow heat exchanger through pipe by using knob.
