  1. PAV: Pressurized Air Vehicle Engine conversion from gasoline to compressed air

  2. What is it? Who are we? • Gasoline to compressed air • Drivable, proof-of-concept car • 5-10 mins • 15-20 mph • Three groups: engine modification, vehicle integration, testing and analysis

  3. Baja Engine • 2-stroke vs 4-stroke • Engine size • Use existing Baja motor

  4. Chassis Selection • Go-kart and golf cart frames • Building a frame • Baja engine

  5. Engine Modification Group • Engine pulled apart • Engine model number • Survey of part quality • Decided to weld camshaft to fix timing • Ordered parts

  6. Vehicle Integration Group • Designed intake manifold • Want to create car and engine in AutoCAD • Secure air tanks • Ordered parts

  7. Pressure 2 Pinlet 1 3 4 Pamb TDC BDC Volume Testing and Analysis Group • Create P-V diagram to calculate power output • Estimate wheel horsepower, run time, efficiency, etc • Prepare procedures for testing once engine complete • Compare to theory
