ok matt always told me you where a really smart guy but this is over the top. I had not even looked at this one. How do you prevent the formation on NOx?

Hi Marc:
Your question is a good one. One might expect an engine fueled by primarily ammonia to produce excessive NOx, it does not! The mix of ammonia and gasoline is held closely to stoichiometric in the burning process and therefore the products of combustion are handled with success by the catalytic converter in the general manner.

It's December 7th, but the latest news on this site appears to be from August. Is the project still going? Is the vehicle still touring around?
No. The car toured in August. And has now been returned to Michigan.
