THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MECHANISM FOR SAVING FUEL IN FOUR STROKE ENGINE WHILE GOING DOWNHILL WITHOUT COASTING

As most of our needs of energy nowadays are satisfied by nonrenewable fuels. So mankind is now in the fear of those fuels getting exhausted in near future. We are in search of new fuels and also of the methods of converting energy into useful work in the m ost efficient way. Efforts are being made to save even a small quantity of fuel. In this paper a mechanism for saving fuel while going down hill without coasting is developed theoretically. The paper discusses various linkages of the mechanim along with t heir relative positions. The relative motion between various links while normal conditions and while going downhill is explained. As this mechanism consists of a force closed pair the method of providing the necessary force along with its required magnitud e is explained.
