When gasoline burns it takes a hydrocarbon (C8H18) and oxygen (O2) and turns them into water (H2O) and a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2).
The H Engine takes hydrogen (H2) and through a series of high-energy reactions forms the inert gas helium (He). This process is similar to that of a hydrogen bomb exploding... in your car. But not to worry, this is at a much smaller volume, yielding much less energy (but still much more than that of a gasoline engine). |
The engine is powered by the rapid expansion of gases in the cylinder which creates in a massive amount of horsepower and the byproduct of heat. To combat this heat the engine is made out of tungsten alloy (a very heat resistant material) and coated in an extremely high heat-resistant chemical to hold the strength of the engine block. |
Instead of putting harmful carbon monoxide and the greenhouse gas CO2 into the atmosphere, the H Engine only releases heat and helium. |
