Abstract:

One of the most important factors in tyre care is proper tyre pressure at all times. Studies show that a drop in tyre pressure by just a few units can reduce mileage, tyre life, safety, and vehicle performance. With this project, we intend to develop an automatic, self-inflating tyre system that ensures that tyres are properly inflated at all times. Our design proposes using a portable compressor that will supply air to the tyre via hoses and a rotary joint associated with each wheel. The rotary joints effectively allow air to be channelled to the tyres without the tangling of hoses. With the recent oil price hikes and growing concern of environmental issues, this system addresses a potential improvement in gas mileage; tyre wears reduction; and an increase in handling and tyre performance in diverse conditions.
