Abstract


The Ozone layer’s depletion, which results from our emission of greenhouse gases, is a bone of contention for the engineering field nowadays. Engineers who are custodians of modern living are responsible for orienting the world through more sustainable energy exploration technics. The accomplishments of IC engines do exceed their initial purpose these days but it also reveals many weaknesses, which never considered during their first conception. For this reason, it is time we move on to something more sustainable. Electric engines seem to be the new big thing; yet again, we fail to consider how unsustainable the technology may be. This article helps us avoid having more than 100 million BEV vehicles plying our streets before we discover this mistake. A revisit of some ancient ideas might just be the proper move here for much development around some fields have taken place to think we cannot do better. Compressed air engines are remarkable solutions for no matter the energy root source, the engines can operate at very high efficiencies giving generally high well to wheel efficiencies when compared to others.
