H2Starfire: New hydrogen engine boasts 60% efficien


US startup showcases a linear hydrogen combustion engine with a thermal efficiency of 60 percent and no oiling or cooling needs.

If the dawn of the electric vehicle (EV) age has you worried about losing the sounds and vibrations of an internal combustion engine (ICE), then Kansas-based Astron Aerospace has a solution for you. Hydrogen is touted as the next best thing to fossil fuels since it can be burned to produce large amounts of energy but only generates water as a byproduct. Inside the engine, temperatures reach 1,400 Fahrenheit (760 degrees Celsius), and here, hydrogen can burn cleanly to produce energy, noise, and mechanical vibrations that motorheads fear they will miss.
