Patna: A group of final year mechanical engineering students of Maulana Azad College of Engineering and Technology [MACET], Patna; under the guidance of Prof Syed Shahbaz Anjum has developed a compressed air engine. Md. Jawed Ali, Shahid Rahmani, Md. Kamaluddin and Shabih Shahid were the ones to develop the engine based on the concept “Compressed Gas is capable of doing work”.
A compressed air vehicle is powered by an air engine, which uses compressed air stored in a cylinder. Instead of burning petrol or diesel for driving the pistons, compressed air engine vehicle works on the expansion of compressed air. The engine has the advantages of being pollution free, cost effective, safe and easy to maintain. The idea if explored and developed further can be successfully implemented in modern day vehicles, says the team.
