Design & Development of Compressed Air Generation Model using Vehicle Suspension

Generally compressed air is produced using different types of air compressors, which consumes lot of electric energy and is noisy.In this project, an innovative idea is put for production of compressed air using movement of vehicle suspension which normal is wasted.The conversion of the force energy into the compressed air is carried out by the mechanism which consists of the vehicle suspension system, hydraulic cylinder, Non-return valve, air compressor and air receiver.We are collecting air in the cylinder and store this energy into the tank by simply driving the vehicle.This method is non-conventional as no fuel input is required and is least polluting.In this Method the conversion of force energy into air.The control mechanism carries the air cylinder, quick exhaust valve, Non-return valve and spring arrangement.We have discussed the various applications.The initial cost of this arrangement is high.
