The Design of Motorcycle’s Combustion Exhaust Gas Powered Tyre Pump

Abstract

The automotive industry is undergoing a very rapid development, where the motorcycle industry is one of them. Although motorbikes are a widely used means of transportation, it doesn't mean that motorbikes don't have obstacles. This research is motivated by observations and experiences of the researchers, that a motorcyclist wants comfort while driving, but on a motorcycle there can be many factors that cause problems. For example, experiencing a lack of air pressure on tyres (de lated) or a lat tyre becomes a serious problem when driving on a quiet road so that the driver feels disturbed. It is necessary to make a tool that can be used to pump tyres easily and ef iciently. In making and designing tools, product speci ication design methods were used, ranging from task translation to detailed design. The Product Design Speciication (PDS) method focuses on the criteria for being achieved in ideas and concepts. The value of pressure from the theoretical calculation is different from the calculation of the tool, the results of the theoretical calculation of the tool obtained air pressure of 38.8 Psi, while the tool testing can directly reach a pressure of 30 Psi. Although igure 30 Psi has been able to ill the front and rear tyres of a motorcycle, the difference in numbers is certainly caused by observable factors. With a variety of factors that affect the performance of the tool but still can meet enough criteria to be able to pump motorcycle tyres and also the design of this tool is made for use in emergency conditions, so that when a motorcycle experiences a lat tyre and the condition is not in the immediate vicinity with a tyre pump workshop, the tool can be used.
