#MCP080 Pneumatic Compressed Air Engine.

A pneumatic compressed air engine, also known as a compressed air engine or air motor, is a type of engine that uses compressed air to perform mechanical work. Instead of relying on combustion, like a traditional internal combustion engine, these engines utilize the expansion of compressed air to drive pistons or rotate shafts.

Here we demonstrate the concept of pneumatic powered air engine system. This system uses a pneumatic cylinder attached to the shaft through this particular arrangement. We use pipes and valves to control the pneumatic cylinder movement using a compressor. An electronic circuit is used to control the valves and thus control the movement of the pneumatic cylinder. As the pneumatic cylinder pushes its piston forward and backward, this motion is used to drive the wheel using the rack pinion kind of arrangement. We cylindrical wheels to avoid contact of rack while returning to stop it from blocking the motion achieved. We use bearings and a frame to hold and run the rotating wheel arrangement and the pneumatic cylinder in a horizontal arrangement with respect to the wheel. Thus we demonstrate the concept of an air engine.

A compressed air engine is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Compressed air engine reduces the cost of vehicle production, because there is no need to build a cooling system, this engine runs on cold and warm air, so can be made of lower strength light weight material. A Compressed-air engine is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. A compressed-air vehicle is powered by an air engine, using compressed air, which is stored in a tank. Instead of mixing fuel with air and burning it in the engine to drive pistons with hot expanding gases, compressed air vehicles use the expansion of compressed air to drive their pistons.
