ABSTRACT The air hybrid tricycle system is a regenerating power from systems project that pedaling energy ( human energy incorporates two different ways ) and solar energy and charging of charging lithium-ion battery: it in the battery. solar power and alternator, Compressed air filled by which is usedIJSER to power an air electricity through battery using compressor running tricycle. a compressor. The electricity It will be having regenerative requirement for compressing air charge system (alternator) and has to be considered while solar panel which enables computing overall efficiency. substantially longer distance Nevertheless the compressed air power assistance cycling by tricycle will contribute in reducing air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment.

KEYWORDS: Eco-friendly of research worldwide. It has use, tricycle. zero emission and is ideal cycle on temperature for city driving condition. INTRODUCTION This air hybrid tricycle uses two types of energy for driving the In present scenario, with vehicle that is one is solar energy increase in number of which will be conserved by using automobiles the need for solar panel and then it will be petroleum products is reaching stored in the battery which will the peak point. This petroleum be further used in driving the air products are non-renewable compressor. And the other sources, and it has danger of source is using the alternator exhaustion in future, so it is which will store the energy of better to move an alternate rotation in the battery and then energy sources. The price of will be further used for the crude oil has increased compressor. significantly overIJSER the past few years and there seems to be no turning back. The environment has also been more of a focus throughout the world in past few years and it seems that cleaner alternatives have been steadily LITERATURE SURVEY on the rise with no end in sight. • MADELINE R.
