Design and build of pneumobiles in the Institute of Machine and Product Design

Abstract

The first Pneumobile Competition was announced in the end of 2007 and held in 2008 by the professionals of the Bosch-Rexroth plant in Eger. The aim of the competition was to design and build such vehicles by university students where the pneumatic parts in the drive-chain convert the energy of the compressed gas into kinetic energy. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Informatics of the University of Miskolc delegates teams to these competitions from the very beginning. This article briefly introduces the competition and the chosen solutions of the students of the Institute of Machine and Product Design, as well as the execution methods and their results.
