Check out this new combustion engine that's super refined and has almost zero emissions.
The developer is at astronaerospace.com.
There's a breakdown on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/swghWx53lGg?si=u7VG-qXYExvg8gvF
Also, there's an article on interestingengineering.com discussing it.
This could be a solid alternative to electric vehicle tech.
Astron Aerospace's innovative combustion engine

Engines that run on hydrogen are nothing new. What might be new is a different approach to converting hydrogen into energy. But this solution has one major drawback: hydrogen essentially requires its own infrastructure for fuel delivery and storage. I wont go into detail, but Ive read that ordinary liquefied gas stations for cars cannot use hydrogen.
Well, it is easier to provide Hydogen that making the traditional combustion engine run "greener".
A backlash came through the situation California faced:

Tricky stuff to handle it is.

Yes, thats exactly what Im talking about-the challenges of building infrastructure and ensuring safety-when it comes to hydrogen. Yes, the engines are very eco-friendly and very promising, but... Its quite difficult and expensive to build the infrastructure for delivery, storage, and refueling of vehicles, as well as to maintain it over a long period of operation.
This hydrogen based engine is a major shift in engine design previous engines used to have large moving parts that causes a lot of friction but in these engines heavy moving parts are replaced by small rotatory system. In addition these hydrogen based engines are not producing any harmful chemicals into the environment the only thing that they are producing is water vapours. Generating power of around 400 horsepower which is making it an ideal solution for everything including cars to planes. It is providing a lightweight high performers and effective alternative to the already present heavy electric vehicles batteries with better performance.
