Hello m.vimalkannan.

I am not an engineer, but here are my thoughts.

Yes, the exhaust that is coming out of an engine exhaust port has some inherent energy in it. If I understand your thought, you would like to use that energy by storing it as compressed gas, and then using that compressed gas to do work?

My first thought is though the concept is interesting, if you were to try and contain that exhaust gas in a chamber so that it would build pressure in that chamber, would it not then also back pressure the exhaust stream, causing problems at the combustion end of things?

I would think that using the heat from the exhaust gas would be a better idea.

All visitor comments welcome.

Cheers,
