Abstract

Recently, many devices driven by pneumatic have been developed. Generally, they need large air compressor to obtain compressed air. However, such large and heavy pneumatic power source prevent such devices to be portable. Thus, in this paper, portable pneumatic power source using chemical reaction of sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid is proposed. Carbon dioxide generated in the chemical reaction is used for compressing air. Both sodium hydrogen carbonate and citric acid are generally used for cleaning, and it is cheap and non-poisonous. In addition, an experiment is conducted to verify effectiveness of proposed power source.
