Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is designing innovative hydrogen combustion systems for gas turbines used in power generation. The designs prevent flashback, a common concern in hydrogen-fueled combustion systems wherein the flame from the combustor travels into the nozzle, which can result in damaged equipment. Hydrogen fuel has numerous benefits including the fact that it produces no carbon emissions during the combustion process.

That’s a whopping 4,916.01% increase from the 1,512 units sold in the same month last year but it is also a 14.66% decrease compared to the 88,869 vehicles that Tesla China sold last month. While a 4,916.01% increase in sales is noteworthy, one should remember the unique circumstances that Tesla China faced last year.
