COMPRESSED AIR TECHNOLOGY(CAT)

[attachment=16426]

INTRODUCTION

We are confident that Compressed Air Technology (CAT) holds the key to the automobile's future. At the same time, though we are aware that no one type of vehicle can meet all society’s needs. That's why we are pushing ahead with research on a range of vehicle propulsion technologies.


COMPRESSED AIR TECHNOLOGY (CAT)
Compressed Air Technology (C.A.T.) uses compressed air as its energy source and requires no gasoline or batteries to drive the engine. C.A.T. is developed by Mr. Guy Negre to run engines with compressed air. Although the technology is new, the idea isn't completely unknown to Formula One Cars & those interested in engine technology. In fact, every Formula One engine starts with a shot of compressed-air as an Energy-Booster. Guy Negre has simply extended its potential by turning it into a single source of energy for running the engine.



WORKING OF C.A.T. ENGINES
In principle the technology is very similar to the internal combustion system in that compressed air is used to drive a piston in a barrel. The secret of the engine lies in the way it efficiently converts the energy stored in the tanks of compressed air.


ADVANTAGES
• Zero emission vehicle
• No fossil fuel required.
• Operating cost 75% less as compare to the gasoline engines.
• Price is also less then half of the electric vehicles.


DISADVANTAGES

• It can’t give much higher speed.
• The recharging stations.

CONCLUSION
Nowadays the earth is facing the biggest problem of global warming. The major cause for this is the environmental pollution. Fossil fuel vehicles are the major contributors to this pollution. In order to irradiate this problem the solution is hybrid electrical vehicles but again they emit some pollutants, hence it is not a complete solution.
