García 05/03/2024 in Mobility Credits: global.com Electric mobility was consolidated several years ago with brands such as Tesla, although it has not taken long for a clear rival to appear that is going to make it very difficult. You probably know which one we are talking about, and now you will see it with the compressed hydrogen engine that is going to revolutionize the roads and put an end to EVs. How are they going to do it? With a three-cylinder concept and 1,618 cc, something never seen before. This legendary brand switches to hydrogen: the prototype everyone´s talking about In January 2021, Toyota made a major step in hydrogen vehicle technology, which was related to the CVST powertrain. Renault disclosed today that they have been working on the fuel cell); and the next step is to make it commercially available. Unlike a conventional internal combustion engine, the hydrogen one doesn’t produce any CO2 soil-blasting through its tail-pipe. There is no pollutant produced from combustion other than water vapor and something that includes a bit of nitrogen oxide emission as its byproduct. Hydrogen engine in a Toyota is seen as a possible substitute from a battery-electric vehicle. Toyota Mirai, powered by a fuel cell, which drives an electric drivetrain and produces zero emissions, is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. They´ve launched a prototype instead of just burning hydrogen directly in an adapted ICE. The hydrogen engine was benchmarked on the track in a vehicle that replicated racing car driving. Toyota, therefore, will continue their efforts for further development of the technology and if possible, they will incorporate it for their future road vehicles. The new Toyota hydrogen engine, at detail: what you can expect Toyota’s hydrogen engine is a groundbreaking new internal combustion engine that runs on hydrogen fuel rather than gasoline. The engine displaces 1,618cc and utilizes a compact three-cylinder design. Some key details about Toyota’s hydrogen engine: 1,618cc displacement from a 3-cylinder design makes it compact and lightweight Can produce up to 298 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque Burns hydrogen gas directly in the combustion chambers Emits zero CO2 from the tailpipe – only water vapor and warm air Higher thermal efficiency than gasoline engines Engine redlines at 7,000 rpm The three-cylinder hydrogen engine demonstrates the exciting potential for internal combustion engines that run on hydrogen fuel. With performance specifications rivaling many gas engines but with zero emissions, Toyota’s hydrogen powerplant could open the door to cleaner transportation if the fueling infrastructure is developed. Take a look at how this hydrogen engine works: towards a new mobility Toyota’s hydrogen engine, representing a major milestone in internal combustion engine technology, has shown a way forward for engine technology in years to come. Instead of it consuming conventional fuel, the hydrogen gas stored in tanks within the vehicle is what it runs on. The engine is built in a similar way like a traditional gas engine, but it has a few things that sets it apart. Air and hydrogen being mixed together in their cylinders and the spark plug igniting them to produce the power makes it work. The motor combusts a hydrogen-air mixture that it then turns into a usable rotational power. Because of the absence of the combustion procedure, the hydrogen engine only produces water vapor, which is a not a part of the pollutants. Such technology produces no emissions and hence, no greenhouse gases (getting rid of air pollutants). The power and the torque of the system is the same as conventional engines thus, it comforts the driving experience which one used to in previous car models. The three-cylinder can put out as much as 1.6 liters per cylinder displacement, which makes it powerful enough for passenger cars to become practical. This compressed hydrogen engine is not only going to put an end to EVs, it is also intended to be the definitive boost for a fuel that, despite being promising, has yet to take off. In fact, it could have done so with the subsidies that the Biden administration granted at the end of last year, although the infrastructure is still insufficient for everything we need today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Within the next 10 years electric motors for cars will have a flat torque curve, put out over 500hp, and you will be able to hold it in one hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
