| Objectives | ||
| Abstract | Over thirty six months, this project aims to demonstrate the potential of a highly disruptive zero emission, high efficiency electricity generator concept for use in transport and power generation applications. A Zero-Emission Closed-loop linear-Joule CYcle (ZECCY) engine generator which yields only liquid water as an emission (i.e. no particulates, or gas phase emissions). As such, it is analogous with hydrogen-fuel cell technology but more lightweight, potentially more efficient and based on a well-established UK manufacturing base.This project will demonstrate the true potential of this technology for vehicle applications by:a. Completing the manufacture, assembly and commissioning of a concept demonstrator through the development of an existing test platformb. Gather the evidence required to advance the project successfully by conducting a robust testing programme underpinned by rigorous simulation and performance improvement.c. Establish the future case of ZECCY generator technology through the development of a technical and commercial roadmap to deployment. | |
