You can run a Wankel on only hydrogen?

You can.

Unlike a traditional ICE, the hydrogen doesn't preignite on the spark plugs as they're separate on the intake stroke.

Mazda have a proven H2 RX8, all that needs sorting now is an infrastructure and convenient method of storing the gas in the car.

There's a guy on MRC just converted his FC and FD 7s to LPG using similar principles. Might be worth looking into too

Best part is the chance to have a clean engine that still retains an exhaust note, even if it is a strange one.

[Seeing as we're going off on a bit of a tangent...]

I'm thinking of doing my final year project on alternative fuels for diesel engines and look into LPG or liquified natural gas Will be an even better exhaust note :chug:chug::chug:

I was referring to Hydrogen, LPG and LNF are still fossil based aren't they?

But you can get natural gas from cows asses. Seeing as they are the biggest polluter out of everything you may as well put it to some good use.

All we need is an effective way of mounting cows in modern road vehicles.

Not sure what would be more lucrative. Creating a safe way of storing/creating hydrogen in a car, or a trailor with a cow in it and a few tubes?
