After the invention of the wheel it made the evolution in the transportation. It made the transportation very easy and efficient. There are many evolutions after the invention of the stone wheel.

After some centuries the new wooden wheel came into existence it reduces the self-weight of the wheel made easy in the movement. In the present age wee are using the polymer tyres which are made of the rubber so that the friction between the road surface and tyres is reduced to nil for very easy mobilization. And these are filled with air making it more less resistances and rigid at the same time.

Now in the market many numbers of tyres are available with very different specifications. The vehicle safety is also very important in the selection of the tyres. The rate of accidents is also increasing at quick pace and there are several factors that are affecting the rate of the accidents. And inflation of tyres is one of them. Tyres tends to lose air through normal driving especially while they are running through curbs or potholes. Under inflated tyres get damaged very quickly as they heat very fast when compared to properly inflated tyres. Even the under-inflation tyres will give less mileage. Above all of these factors vehicles running with under-inflation tyres are having high chances of causing accidents

To overcome all these defects the new era of tyres re being introduced into the world. Tyres with Self-inflating system. The pressure regulating systems will help in monitoring the tyre pressure constantly. This system contains sensors which will help the driver to know the amount of the air present in the tyre. The source of air is taken from air braking system or from the pneumatic system. Thus, it helps in the re-inflation of the tyres to make sure they are in proper condition.

Working

When we are filling the air, the pressured pushes a piston present in the value and the air goes into it. There will a calibrated spring for example let us say 80 psi. if the air present is already 80 psi the the value does not allow any air to go in and vice versa.

Requirements:

Knowledge of Physics

Advantages:

• This helps in the monitoring of the tyre pressure constantly.
• It provides inflation or deflation of the tyre.
• It helps in attaining better mileage.
• It also helps in providing comfortable driving.

Conclusion:

This is new improvement in the technologies which can be further improved by means of studying the loopholes that occur in it.

Kit required to develop Self Inflating Tyres:
