What about Ohio Universities Ammonia Car?

Thank you Lisa for finding this important reference. Indeed, Ohio is in the race for the ammonia fueled car. But, they are reforming the ammonia to produce hydrogen, which then uses this hydrogen to do the same purpose we server with gasoline. One of the big differences is that our system, using ammonia-gasoline, will work on gasoline alone when ammonia is not available, and their system must have ammonia, alone, or it can't run. It will be a long while until ammonia is available in the common fashion of gasoline is now. Until ammonia has the common distribution of gasoline these ammonia fueling systems will not fuel any appreciable part of our automobiles . Also, and importantly so, engines designed to run specifically on ammonia will not function on gasoline. These ammonia fueled engines will come into their own in perhaps 15 years, but we need answers to our fuel problems, now! The dual-fueling of our stock auto engines with ammonia-gasoline meets our nations needs right now. We have a vehicle on the road running on ammonia-gasoline that is crossing the country, as you read this letter.

Cheers,

Welcome to NH3 Car

This web log is designed to keep you up to date on the progress of the NH3 Car now speeding across America. OK, well it is really a truck, but it could just as easily be a car in the future. Casey Stack has been asked to be the spokesman for a small group of engineer's and inventors from the University of Michigan. Please check back often for updated information as this project gain's momentum.



The Goal

To demonstrate the simple practicality of running gasoline vehicles on ammonia as an alternative automobile fuel.
