However, by the close of the decade, exuberant motoring freedom would be on …

If compressed air is passed into the combustion chamber in addition to the air-fuel charge from the carburetor, better combustion and hence, reduced hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions will result. This will also give a variable power boost with some saving in fuel, but extra equipment in the form of …

Air pollution can be defined as the addition to our atmosphere any material which will have a serious effect on life upon our planet. The main pollutants contribute by automobiles are carbon monoxide(CO), unburned hydrocarbons (UBHC), oxides of Nitrogen(NOX), sulphur oxides and lead and other particulate emissions. In advanced countries …

With a pop and a splutter, the concept of personal transport with its own mobile power source suddenly came to life at the end of the 19th century. German pioneers worked out ways to create “light locomotives”—a leap of imagination that mixed the mobility of the bicycle with miniature versions …

A mechanism for compressing and expanding an enclosed volume of air by means of a piston or diaphragm was first patented as a suspension spring in 1906 and a Cowey car fitted with pneumatic suspension was exhibited at Olympia Motor Show in 1909. To demonstrate the concept we can compare …
