A new hydrogen IC engine.

There are a lot of new IC engine designs, here another interesting one.

We can store renewable energy ( wind, solar, hydro, geo ) as hydrogen, so a clean IC engine would eliminate the losses of converting hydrogen to electricity to mechanical by going straight from hydrogen to mechanical.....that said the hydrogen storage issues are still being worked out, but Toyota and Nissan are both building hydrogrn powered cars for the near future.

Very interesting. Unfortunately it seems there are many inventions that just don't end up making a direct significant difference.
How far along the process is it, have they been put in production?

Bladon jets makes a micro diesel turbine which is in use in their generators and they also make the engine for the Jaguar C-X75 concept and a Mitsubishi concept so automakers have embraced the technology.
