A new new forum for the advocacy and development of liquid air as an alternative technology to harness waste and surplus energy within power and transport—the Liquid Air Energy Network (LAEN)—has formed in the UK. The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat.

TCR is particularly relevant to alcohol-based engine fuels, because combustion exergy losses for direct combustion of alcohols are typically higher than for alkanes and alkenes. Much of the cost associated with removing the water during ethanol production might be avoided if hydrous ethanol could be directly used by engines.

The first cycle is a “conventional” combustion engine process using a combustible fuel with the crankless (i.e., Waste heat is transferred within the sphere to create steam in a closed process that then drives the second cycle and set of pistons (built around the first set), using a similar sinus disc.
