the car engine. In addition, pollution from the engine can be reduced. A powerful solar supercharger can help build a fuel-efficient internal fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engine. The purpose of this study was to develop a supercharger that uses solar energy instead of engine power, eliminating the need for engine power.

The earth now relies heavily on renewable energy sources such as crude oil. These traditional energy sources have some limitations. Most importantly, there is a growing environmental concern about climate change caused by CO2 emissions from gasoline heating. Rising fuel prices make it necessary to improve the efficiency of the motorcycle; The efficiency of the motorcycle can be improved by reducing the fuel consumption of the engine. We can use solar energy to increase the efficiency of our vehicles. The compulsory induction system (supercharger and turbocharger) of automobiles helps to improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engines by pushing more air into the cylinder leading to proper fuel combustion and thus reducing exhaust emissions. The main objective of this project is to develop a powerful solar charger that will not consume additional engine power and thus increase engine efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Our proposed charger is powered by an electric charger and the charger is powered using a solar panel, thus the standard super charger is converted to a “solar powered super charger.” After modeling, various tests are performed to monitor gas emissions and performance. of the engine.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW N.R.Karthik, B. Gautham: As a demand of new efficient and eco-friendly engines is incrementing new 2technologies are developing. This paper reviews on various applications of turbo charging and super charging technology is made. The behaviour of IC engine with application of turbo/super charger and need of turbo/super charger installations are studied. Seungju Baek, Seungchul Woo, Youngkun Kim, Kihyung Lee using 1D simulation has proven that high power charging effectively improves temporary response and engine output. The electric supercharger has the advantages of reducing turbo lag and improving the torque of low-speed engine . The combination of electric supercharger and Miller Cycle in the fuel engine improves thermal efficiency without deterioration of performance.

1. INTRODUCTION

Kamal kishore pathak In his study of superchargers he stated that the efficiency of a solar-powered supercharger is higher than that of a conventional charging system, that is, a power outage of an engine of the same capacity. As more air is pumped into the engine cylinder, complete combustion of the fuel may result in a reduction in emissions due to exhaust gases. The solar powered supercharger is producing charging pressure varies depending on load conditions.

Nearly two billion internal combustion engines operate worldwide. The price of crude oil is constantly rising, which requires an effective solution to reduce fuel consumption in IC engines without disrupting engine performance. There are also a few environmental concerns related to the harmful effects of exhaust emissions from car engines. Researchers have made good progress in recent decades in increasing the efficiency of automotive engines and in controlling the pollution caused by fossil fuels. Compulsory import system, brings significant benefits to the overall efficiency of the car engine. A high quality supercharger or turbocharger can increase engine torque by 50% while also reducing CO2 emissions by 20%. Compulsory import system improves engine performance. Fuel and air are mixed in the right proportions due to the improved air flow, which leads to the proper combustion of the fuel and thus adds more energy to the piston, which in turn pushes harder to the crankshaft, providing more power. As a result, through the use of forced import

3. METHODOLOGY The operating principle of the solar powered supercharger is shown in Fig.1 In this system, the compressor (supercharger) receives power from the battery connected to the solar panel. The solar panel is a group of solar photovoltaic cells. Electricity can be generated from solar energy through the solar photovoltaic cells that operate on it.
