Aquarius Engines, introduced a hydrogen version of its new linear free-piston engine. The 10 kg apparatus is based on the same technology as the original patented single piston linear motor.
The lightweight design of the new hydrogen engine and the unique internal gas exchange method would greatly reduce emissions and the global carbon footprint.
The 10kg Aquarius engine was invented in 2014 and is designed to be used as an on-board power generator in a vehicle or as a standalone electricity generator. Unlike most conventional engines that are made up of hundreds of parts, the Aquarius engine has only twenty components and one moving part.
Its lightweight and aerodynamic design makes it economical and highly efficient with minimal maintenance requirements compared to traditional engines.
The Israel-based company waited to unveil the new hydrogen engine until successful tests were conducted. Tests showed that a modified version of the original Aquarius engine can run completely on hydrogen.
