Listen "Hydrogen as a Fuel for an Internal Combustion Engine"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThe search for finding a way to commercialize vehicles that generate no emissions has led the automotive industry to work with batteries and fuel cells. But another approach is to take the basic internal combustion engine (ICE) and substitute hydrogen as a fuel for both gasoline and diesel fuel. This podcast examines the potential for hydrogen internal combustion engines. In this engine, hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the air as part of a combustion process, but the only byproduct is water. The initial results are quite favorable. Without the use of hydrocarbon fuels, the ICE runs much cleaner and the motor oil used is not impacted. The motor oil looks as pristine as when it was initially put in the engine. There is the potential for the motor oil to last at least 50,000 miles. The conclusion from this podcast is that hydrogen not only has the potential to be a short-term answer to reduce automotive emissions but could also be a long-term solution.Contributors: Dr. Neil Canter, STLE Advisor, Technical Programs and Services, Mike Copeland, Owner and CEO, Arrington PerformanceFor more information on STLE, please visit https://www.stle.org/ If you have an idea for our podcast, or interested in being a guest, please Email STLE Director of Professional Development Robert Morowczynski at [email protected] .
