    Introduction

    Until recently seat belts provided the sole form of passive restraint in cars.

    Slowly talks arose about their safety.

    Airbags have been under development for many years.

    Statistics reveal that airbags reduce the risk of causality in a DFC by 30%

     Airbags are the subject of serious governments industry and tests


    BASICS OF AIRBAGS
    Newton’s second law of motion.
    If object aren’t restrained they will continue moving at the speed of
    the moving car even if the car is stopped by a collision.
    All airbags need to slow down passengers speed
    DEVELOPMENT
     WORLD WAR-2 : Saw the first patent on an inflatable crash landing
    device for airplanes.
    1980: First commercial airbags appeared in automobiles.
    Ever since1988 it became a binding.
    Efforts to adapt the airbags was stranded due to prohibitive prices and
    technical hurdles.
    PARTS OF AIR BAGS
    BAG

    SENSOR

    INFLATION SYSTEM
    BAGS
    Is made up of a thin nylon fabric, which is folded into the steering
    wheel or dashboard or the seat or door.

    The powdery substsnce released (Regular cornstarch or talcum


    powder) is used to keep the bags lubricated while they’re in storage
    SENSOR
    A Device that tells the bag to inflate.
    It works with the control module to discriminate between crash and
    non-crash event.
    INFLATION SYSTEM
    NAN₃+KNO₃=Large amts.of NITROGEN GAS.
     Hot Blast of the nitrogen inflate the air bag from its storage site up to
    322 kmph.
    CONSTRUCTION
    • Airbag are assemblies consisting of the airbag (made of Nylon)
    inflator modules and sensor housing, electrical connectors (Clock
    spring), retainer and the cover.
    WORKING
    Air bags are designed to inflate in frontal impacts in which the car
    strikes about 16 km/hr.
    After collision sensor sent an electric current to ignitor system.
    Electric current heats the filament which ignates the capsule which in
    turn ignites the gas generating pallets.
    The gas expands quickly and inflation of air bags there by takesplace,
    which break through aplastic cover in the steering wheel.
    Time taken for all these thing about.1sec.
    DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAGS
    MODERN TYPES AIR BAGS
    CURTAIN AIR BAG
    Developed by Mercedes and Volvo.
    Reduce HIC (head injury criterion) by 80%
    HEAD THROAX BAG
    Developed by Ford and Renault
    High protection to head
    ITS
    Developed by BMW
    World first airbag for head protection
    FUTURE OF AIRBAG
    Smart System :
    Includes weight sensors
    Determine type occupant in seat i.e. child or adult
    Infrared type occupant :
    Detect the distance of passenger from airbag.
    Centralized electronic control :
    New sensor technology through software
    AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
    Airbag inflation
    Depicits contact with airbag
    Coming to rest in seat and deflation of airbag
    All these take in 30 milliseconds
    AIR BAG CHECK
    When we turn key look at the dash to find airbag light for 7-10 sec. &
    then go out .
     Problem occur when
    1) Light does not come on
    2) If light does not go off after period
    3) If light comes during driving
    DISARMING AIRBAGS
    Disconnect battery
     Wait 30sec
    Removing fuse
    Disconnect the circuits
     Thus the bag is disarmed
    Keep the bag below 130degree celsius
    CONCLUSIONS
    Air bags are of greater importance in todays vehicles since safety of
    human life is of prior importance.

    Let’s hope every automobile manufacturer implements the same.
