Implementation of Effective Fuel Saving Methodology for Turbines using Air Drag in Vehicles
Abstract
Abstract The hike of fuel price is causing an immediate threat to the economic wealth of the world. The fuels will sooner become obsolete and it is imperative to search for new technologies to save and optimize the utilization of the fuel. Innovative approaches that can be readily implemented will prove beneficial in contributing to the sustainable solution. Fuel consumption in the automobiles linearly increase with the increase in the number of fuel utilizing vehicles on road. Hence, decreasing the fuel consumed by each vehicle on road will eventually result in substantial sustaining of fuel availability. This paper focuses on decreasing the consumption of fuel by an automobile at its higher speeds. Turbines which forms the ultimate part in producing conventional energy is innovatively used in automobiles to rotate the crankshaft of the engine by utilizing the air drag against the vehicle. Vehicles (two- wheelers or four wheelers) experiences infinite amount of air drag while travelling at higher speeds. This air drag is fed to turbines and is being converted into useful form of energy. Feasibility of this system is experimented and torque along with power output is calculated and proved to be practically possible solution.
