On my recent trip to India I traveled a lot on a motor bike. THe pollution is mind blowing. I felt dizzy and threw up couple of times. Got used to the pollution free air in US. How ever after coming back i started thinking of designing a system to help riders breathe better air.
I am not sure if its possible at all: but here are the requirements.
Cleaning the air of pollutants is costly process.
The pollution is only local to the roads or when stopped at the lights, stop signs etc.
My idea is to provide a compressed air canister which is hooked to the helmet via piping.
This compressed air is cool (added advantage from heat). The average commute is 1hr and a human might breathe close to 200 gallons of air.
Now I need to find a cheap tank dimensions to hold 200 gallons of air and under minimal psi (so accidents does not explode the tank)
Can any one calculate the size of the tank.
