A new arrival comes to the automotive sector engine that does not need gasoline or electricity. It represents 99% savings and has the zero label. The powerful 300 kW water engine surprised the world, a feat that promises to be repeated on this occasion. The need to change fuel is evident and undeniable.
It responds to the difficult situation in which climate change has left us, a context that must be stopped along with atmospheric pollution. Globally, CO2 concentration levels continue to grow with record numbers. Emissions from burning coal, oil and natural gas are also at historic numbers. For this reason, the world is desperately seeking new forms of energy, fuels and, therefore, engines.
Continuing to use gasoline and diesel is no longer an option for several nations, which have already requested a ban on the sale of vehicles that run on these fuel options (such as Europe). In the midst of the difficult situation of the world and these requests, a engine that does not need gasoline or electricity.
The engine that does not need gasoline and has the zero label: you would never have imagined it
Hydrogen is a promising option to conventional electric vehicles. It still has a long way to go before it is at the same level as gasoline cars today, but there are already several brands that have decided to use it in their parts. For example, BMW, Hyundai and toyota. So much for large companies, because there are also small companies that are betting on hydrogen. It is the case of AVL.
This firm does not use hydrogen to be used in a fuel cell, but rather to burn it. Just presented a new concept of engine combustion that eliminates the two main drawbacks that are usually found in this type of models: a poor combustion mixture and low performance.
The first defect can be solved thanks to the port fuel injection system that injects water into the air intake of the engine. This way of working rules out unwanted premature ignition and gives rise to stoichiometric combustion, in which the engine completely burns the fuel, discarding the lean combustion mixture.
AVL has managed to exceed the target performance it wants when it presented its prototype in 2022. They wanted a power of 402 HP, a number that they have surpassed, reaching 410 C, which it delivers at 3,000 rpm. Regarding torque, the initial objective was 500 Nm, a figure achieved and the engine two liters presumes to develop when it reaches 4,000 revolutions.
The engine that replaces gasoline forever: you save 99% in polluting emissions
The 99% savings we are referring to is not monetary, but in terms of polluting emissions. By lowering emissions, it achieves the zero label. This sustainable project is the result of a collaboration between AVL and HUMDA and, a priori, it is designed for use in competition.
The part has already been tested in different simulations and tests have even been done with the real engine. Now the plan is to mount them in the car and run it on a circuit to test their maximum potential.
With this revolutionary engine, hydrogen continues to gain strength, leaving aside gasoline, diesel and even the conventional electric vehicle. It does not need the usual fossil fuels to produce 410 HP. A before and after in the sector. If you like the world of engine, you can’t miss the arrival of the atom engine that Einstein predicted. It took 100 years of development and a strange particle.
