pollution appear to raise the risk of a condition in pregnant women linked to premature births and lifelong neurological and respiratory disorders in their children, new Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research suggests. We found biological effects in women exposed to air pollution levels below the EPA standard.

Dearman, the developer of the liquid air Dearman Engine—an innovative heat engine that uses liquid air (or liquid nitrogen) as a “fuel” and emits cold air as exhaust( earlier post )—has formed a technology partnership with Hubbard Products, Europe’s leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of commercial cooling equipment.

The Dearman liquid air engine is an innovative heat engine that uses liquid air (or liquid nitrogen) as a “fuel” and emits cold air as exhaust. After each expansion cycle the heat exchange fluid is recovered from the exhaust and reheated to ambient temperature via a heat exchanger similar to a conventional radiator. Earlier post.)

The new six-cylinder in-line engine comes with an intelligent form of turbocharging: assisted by the ISG at start-off, the electric auxiliary compressor (eZV) guarantees immediate high torque when driving off and accelerating, bridging the time before the large exhaust turbocharger cuts in. Almost imperceptible restart of the engine.

Groundbreaking research in the last 10 years has identified combustion engine strategies that—especially if optimized to run on new fuels—would offer significantly higher efficiency and produce fewer engine-out pollutants than current engines. Fuel research will focus on low-GHG advanced biofuel/petroleum blends.

Emissions from on-road light-duty gasoline vehicles (LDGVs) are a major contributor to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in urban environments. However, only a small fraction of SOA formed during photo-oxidation of dilute LDGV exhaust in a smog chamber is explained by single-ring aromatic compounds. —Zhao et al. —Zhao et al.
