GM offers a CNG bi-fuel option for its HD pickups (e.g., liter V6 engine will be available this fall with a factory-installed, gaseous-fuel prep package that includes hardened valves, valve seats, pistons and rings so it can operate on either natural gas or gasoline through separate fuel systems. Earlier post.). When the 3.7-liter

These attributes, coupled with lower mass, delivers better fuel efficiency and longer range. The EnerDel system features 19 kWh rated energy (16.9 kWh usable)—more than three times the rated (>5x usable) energy of the original battery. The elevated energy rating provides longer life and more available power.

When fuel is injected under these conditions, ignition takes places before an adequate air-fuel mixture forms, causing localized heterogeneous combustion, resulting in the formation of NO x and soot, Mazda says. Consequently, ignition takes longer even when fuel is injected near TDC, enabling a better mixture of air and fuel.

This prohibits closer placement of the catalyst to the engine, requiring an aggressive warm-up with extra fuel burning during the cold-start. Improvement of the thermal durability of the SCR catalysts would therefore be the key to maximizing the fuel efficiency, as well as to producing clean emissions from diesel engines.

Oil and gas are such convenient fuels, and the world has developed such a strong dependence on them, that it is very likely that the large readily available pools of these fuels will be exploited. A first step is to remove fossil fuel subsidies. Kharecha et al. Kharecha, Charles F. Kutscher, James E.

The first version of the HPM is a uranium nitride (U 2 N 3 )-fueled, lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi)-cooled, fast reactor. We have every intention of producing Dr. Peterson’s uranium hydride-fueled reactor; it is an important breakthrough technology for the nuclear power industry. The U 2 N 3 fuel is 20% enriched and set in HT-9 cladding tubes.

It consumes the excess carbon in the cylinder during the burn to gain a 15-30 per cent improvement in fuel mileage, while producing near zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. So, in effect, this is a supercar capable of around 200mph and yet it has very clean emissions.
