This research initiative at TUP Manila aims to develop a solar-powered automatic tire
inflator, addressing the need for sustainable and convenient tire maintenance solutions. The
inflator operates off-grid, utilizing efficient solar panels to harness energy, which is stored
in a battery system for continuous operation. The device features an automatic pressure
sensor and an easy-to-use interface, ensuring accurate and hassle-free tire inflation. The
fabricated structure, composed of durable materials such as welded angle bars and stainless
sheet, guarantees robustness and longevity. The prototype demonstrates the capability to
inflate various tire types, including those of bicycles, motorcycles, and cars, within
minutes. Its portability, facilitated by a compact design and wheels, enhances usability in
diverse locations. The primary beneficiaries are vehicle owners within the university
community that has vehicle and beyond, promoting convenience and sustainability in tire
maintenance. Despite challenges related to initial setup and calibration, the results indicate
excellent functionality and reliability, with high ratings for efficiency, user-friendliness,
and safety. The overall mean score of 4.59 reflects a highly satisfactory evaluation. This
pioneering project contributes significantly to environmentally conscious vehicle
maintenance and reduced fuel consumption and vehicle handling, offering a tailored
solution to the specific needs of the community.
