Abstract
The fossil fuel engines which were good enough for us before 30-40 years but now they are one of the sources of contributor of global warming and pollution with fossil fuel crises. The Compressed Air Vehicle is an eco-friendly vehicle which works on compressed air. An Compressed Air vehicle uses air as a fuel. An Air Powered Vehicle uses the expansion of compressed air to drive the pistons of an engine. An Air Driven Engine is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. There is no mixing of fuel with air as there is no combustion. Developing a whole vehicle to run on pneumatic systems will prove an outright tedious and without doubt a costly affair, modification of current internal combustion engines to run on compressed air by an tadpole design this paper explores.
