The Dearman Engine – a zero emission engine which runs on liquid air – took a step closer towards commercial realisation when Ricardo and a team of UK academics stated that the proposal could be completed within two years.
Along with validating the work to date, the engineering team from Ricardo is confident that, given its projected performance, there are numerous practical applications for the use of Dearman Engine in the future marketplace: “The technology could compete with hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric systems in zero emission applications.”
