Generally compressed air is produced using different types of air compressors, which consumes a lot of electrical energy and is noisy. In this work, an innovative idea is presented for the production of compressed air by the movement of the suspension of the vehicle that is lost normal. The power conversion of the force into the compressed air is carried out by the mechanism consisting 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 in the tank simply by driving the vehicle. This method is unconventional as no fuel input is required and is less polluting.
It can be understood in the following video:
