With pollution on the rise due to the increase in the number of vehicles, it has become a necessity that a step is taken towards promoting green energy. Engineering students from Palwal city in Harayana have made a giant leap in this direction. They have invented an oxygen-powered motorbike giving Indians a glimmer of hope of having clean air to breathe. This concept is a first of its kind and if it proves popular and successful, then it is just a matter of time before we find more of eco-friendly vehicles hitting the road.
Pratham Pal an engineering student and one of the developer stated:
This bike is different from others because the engine doesn’t burn fuel, nor does the temperature rise. The air is compressed and transferred to the engine without any combustion. The piston reciprocates from the air pressure leading to an up-down movement, making the flywheel run and the bike move.
The bike is designed to run at a speed of six to twelve miles an hour utilizing 100 liters of PSI oxygen. The design has still scope for improvement and the students are looking for financial support to improvise their invention. Eco-friendly vehicles are a must in India, the decrease in the use of non-renewable fuels will make the atmosphere cleaner and the health of people will improve.
