Abstract

This project involves the design and construction of a self-powered, portable automobile tire inflation pumping machine. The machine is designed to provide a convenient, efficient, and costeffective solution for inflating tires, particularly in emergency situations or remote areas with limited access to traditional tire inflation facilities. The machine's design incorporates a compact and lightweight structure, enabling easy transportation and storage. It features a userfriendly interface, allowing individuals to effortlessly inflate tires to the recommended pressure. The self-powered capability eliminates the need for external power sources, making it ideal for emergency or off-grid situations. The construction of the machine involves the use of locally sourced materials, minimizing production costs and promoting sustainability. The project's outcome is expected to contribute significantly to the development of a self-sufficient and mobile tire inflation system, beneficial for various applications, including automotive, industrial, and emergency services to enhance security.
