The efficient, clean, flameless reaction at the heart of the Mainspring generator works with nearly any fuel, including carbon-free ammonia as shown here. The ammonia reacts with oxygen in air to produce nitrogen gas and water, and the resulting force pushes against the walls of the box. Here’s how that would work. That’s the theory.
