ABSTRACT
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 tyres 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.

OBJECTIVES & SCOPE

Some of the major advantages of Mini cars are as follows: The cost of maintenance is affordable. The small size and light-weight make it easy to park Mini cars. Mini cars are so light that they can be lifted by hand for parking. Mini cars possessed forward entry which helped in perpendicular parking.

Suitcase car is something different to the above concept. It is suitable only for the clean and smooth roads. We can use this car in college campus, school campus, office campus, at airports, on cruise etc. Beside this, Suitcase car also have a bigger advantage that it can be folded and packed into a suitcase. These advantages facilitate a person to carry the car through his journey. Suitcase car is designed for a single person that can sustain the load of an average person. It is a light- weight vehicle. All the parts of the suitcase car are mounted inside a suitcase.

Technically A suitcase of large height can be used to increase the space. Large tyre can be used. Weight of the suitcase can be reduced by using fiber body suitcase. It can be powered by a high capacity engine having the same size. A CVT can be used to optimize its speed. Differential can be used for high speed and better control. Secondary systems like lighting, horn, speedometer etc. can be attached. An option of self start can be installed.

According to its usage It can be used as a racing car. It can be used on cruise to travel from one point to other. It can be carried while traveling by train, bus, plane etc. It can be used in college campus, school campus, university campus, etc. It can be used in a society. It can be used for entertainment purpose.

DESIGN DESCRIPTION

Suitcase car is powered by a two stroke single cylinder gasoline engine. The engine capacity is 49 cc and using an air cooling system. The power output of the engine is 2.5kw at 8700 rpm which is delivered to the rear axle using a chain drive mechanism. The engine has a pull type starting mechanism that is operated manually. By this output the car can be travel at a speed of 40 Km/hr.

All the parts of the suitcase car are mounted inside a suitcase. The car consists of the two halves that are joined by the nut and bolt to make a rigid structure. The rear half contain the engine which is connected to the rear axle by a chain drive. The rear axle contains to detachable parts one is main shaft and other one is tyre shaft. Both shafts are coupled by cotter joint. Main axle shaft is hollow and is lifted on four bearings. Wheels are 8 in size and made up of rubber. Roller bearings are used to transmit the load on the chassis of the car. On the main shaft seat is connected. Seat is made up of fiber and light in weight.

The front half of the chassis contains the handle which is used to give direction to the vehicle. The front wheel is 6 in size and contains a center bearing. The handle is linked to the member of the chassis such that it can trace a rotating motion. The handle contains an excluded part which supports the foot load of the rider. The whole suitcase is divided into three compartments so that in one compartment contains the detachable tyres, the second one contains the handle and seat and the third one contains the transmission system and engine.

The suitcase car is designed and built for use on a paved closed circuit track. The track should be clean and without obstacles of any kind. It takes hardly 3-4 minutes to install. An adult or younger person can drive it. It is suitable for campus purpose.

CONCLUSION
Suitcase car is our main project that is presented in front of you. In present day we are studying the chases and load analysis that is use in it. On the first stage of my project, we are going to show to you theoretically portion of it. We are very glad to show to you some fraction of our live work in this project. There are some issue that arise during live work but we have shoot it out by discussing to each other and with fraction of effort of my faculty members.
