| dc.description.abstract | A Compressed Air Engine (CAE) is an eco-friendly alternative to conventional internal
combustion engines, utilizing compressed air as its primary energy source. Unlike fossil
fuels, compressed air is clean, non-toxic, and abundantly available, making it a sustainable
solution for reducing carbon emissions. The engine operates by releasing high-pressure air
stored in tanks, which drives pistons or turbines to generate mechanical power. This
mechanism eliminates the need for fuel combustion, significantly reducing air pollution and
greenhouse gases. CAEs are particularly suitable for short-distance travel, urban transport,
and material handling applications. Key advantages include low operational costs, minimal
maintenance, and zero exhaust emissions. However, challenges such as energy losses during
compression, limited energy density, and storage capacity need to be addressed for
widespread adoption. Future advancements in energy storage, compression technologies, and
hybrid integration may enhance its efficiency, making CAE a promising candidate for
sustainable mobility solutions. | en_US |
