"THE CAR THAT MAKES ITS OWN FUEL
A unique system that can produce Hydrogen inside a car
using common metals such as Magnesium and Aluminum was
developed by an Israeli company. The system solves all
of the obstacles associated with the manufacturing,
transporting and storing of hydrogen to be used in
cars.
<snip>
Amnon Yogev, one of the two founders of Engineuity,
and a retired Professor of the Weizmann Institute,
suggested a method for producing a continuous flow of
Hydrogen and steam under full pressure inside a car.
<snip>
The Hydrogen car Engineuity is working on will use
metals such as Magnesium or Aluminum which will come
in the form of a long coil. The gas tank in
conventional vehicles will be replaced by a device
called a Metal-Steam combustor that will separate
Hydrogen out of heated water. The basic idea behind
the technology is relatively simple: the tip of the
metal coil is inserted into the Metal-Steam combustor
together with water where it will be heated to very
high temperatures. The metal atoms will bond to the
Oxygen from the water, creating metal oxide. As a
result, the Hydrogen molecules are free, and will be
sent into the engine alongside the steam.
The solid waste product of the process, in the form of
metal oxide, will later be collected in the fuel
station and recycled for further use by the metal
industry."
