ABSTRACT:
A compressed air powered motor vehicle includes an engine having an intake and an exhaust pipe. The engine is configured for operating on compressed air received in the intake and expelling exhaust air through the exhaust pipe. A compressed air storage container is in fluid communication with the intake of the engine. At least one compression mechanism is in fluid communication with the exhaust pipe of the engine and with the compressed air storage container. The at least one compression mechanism is configured for compressing the exhaust air and replenishing the compressed air storage container. Each compression mechanism includes a reciprocable connecting rod having a direction of travel. A rocker arm has a first end, a second end and a pivot point disposed between the first end and the second end. The first end of the rocker arm is attached to the connecting rod. The rocker arm is configured for pivotal oscillation about the pivot point, thereby reciprocating the rod within the compression mechanism. A bracket interconnects the second end of the rocker arm and the cylinder. The bracket carries the cylinder and moves the cylinder in a direction opposite to the direction of travel of the rod. A stabilizing bar is oriented substantially parallel to the rod and is configured for slidably carrying the bracket.
