(Remf-42) Design and Fabrication of Electric Suitcase Car (Abstract)

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ELECTRIC SUITCASE
CAR
ABSTRACT
The population of world is increasing and the area is decreasing. We are in the
stage of compact world, where all things are going to compact, the time is to
think about the vehicle which can be folded easily and can be taken everywhere.
The basic aim behind our project is to make a portable vehicle which would be
easy to handle by both genders and it should emit 0% emission, also keeping in
mind the parking problems, we have decided to make a portable suitcase vehicle
which can be folded easily.
The Suitcase car is a type of mini car designed for one person and can carry a
load up to 80 kg. Its unloaded weight is up to 30 kg. It can be packed into a
suitcase and can be lifted by any person. For this we learned the fundamentals
of Strength of Material for calculation of load, stresses and forces acting on
various parts of chassis of our car.
To select the type of drive we studied Machine Design and choose chain drive
which is best suited for the requirements. For the type of Engine, we go through
Automobile Engineering and selected two stroke engines due to its small size
and good load carrying capacity.
Disassembling is the secondary issue for which we used detachable tires and
folded handle. There are so many difficulties arise in placing fuel tank and
driver seat. After all we used various ideas used small size fuel tank and driver
seat.
The innovation in this project is to produce an economically viable

and affordable car for mass so that it can carry load and can travel smoothly
on Indian roads.
INTRODUCTION
As the population is increasing there is also increasing in demand of the

automobiles. Due to the increasing number of automobiles they will require
space for driving and also for parking. As we know there is limited space
available. Due to the increasing number of cars on roads they cause traffic jam
and also, they acquired a place for parking.
As the number of cars is increasing the pollution also increases? The Portable
Car (Suitcase Car) is a foldable car which can be folded in a suitcase; hence it
does not require the parking places. The size of the Portable Car is 46”x 22” so
it is five times smaller than normal car. Due to its compactness it can be used in
various big shopping malls, industries, big campus of college etc.
Portable car can be used in shopping malls, industries and for covering short
distance. It can be used for travelling purpose on the highways. It was originally
designed & built in 1991 as part of a design contest held at Mazda's Engineering
department which was created with a simple idea to have a 3-wheeled car inside
a suitcase.
Instead of waiting in line for a taxi or shuttle, just open your suitcase & drive
off. Powered by a 59.57cc 2 stroke engine, the vehicle holds enough fuel
approximately 2 hours of driving. Can be assembled in about 15-20 seconds &
comes with functional brake lights & turn signals. Vehicle was rebuilt in a black
suitcase in 1994. But as suitcase car is running on the two-stroke engine with
the 27 mph that suitcase car can run for 2 hours with the fully filled fuel tank
due to the use of engine it can cause pollution and noise.
In order to overcome above mentioned disadvantages in the present

invention we used the motor and battery instead of engine. Portable Car can
be assemble and dissemble whenever necessary and also we can carry
suitcase anywhere and if necessary, we can assemble it in just less than four
minute and drive it.
In this portable car we used four wheels out of that the

power is given one wheel and other wheels are supporting wheel.
If there is no use of car then we can just simply dissemble the car&
put it in to the suitcase. The portable car can carry weight up to 100kg.
Maximum speed of portable car is 30 km/hr. fully charged battery can run
up to 70km.
APPLICATIONS
1. Personal advanced transportation system

2. Compact and utility vehicle
3. Spying and Surveillance applications
ADVANTAGES
1. It is eco-friendly and low of cost.
2. It is basically a moving resource with no emission of any toxic material
or any harmful gas.
3. No parking requirement needed.
