Description: Could Toyota's hydrogen engine save combustion by converting engines?

The project involved a Toyota Corolla Sport which participated in a 24 hour endurance race, using a 1.6L turbo inline three-cylinder out of the GR Yaris. The idea was to convert a gasoline engine to a hydrogen engine, as an alternative to creating new electric cars. With hydrogen combustion, oxygen and hydrogen are burned, providing useful work, with water as the only main emissions. Naoaki Ito, one of the lead engineers on the project, puts it well: “For this hydrogen-powered engine, the engine itself remains the same as before. Our concept for this project was to create a hydrogen engine by using as much of the existing internal combustion technology as possible. We thought that achieving this would enable the conversion of existing car engines to hydrogen, providing a powerful weapon in the quest for carbon neutrality.” Related Videos: Hydrogen Engines = Bad Idea - youtu.be/1Ajq46qHp0c Gas vs Hydrogen Engines - youtu.be/l6ECwRnJ0Sg Hydrogen Rotary Engine - youtu.be/U-n5L0cXcpg References: Toyota Hydrogen Press Release - global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/35209996.html?_ga=2.5012979.1350139790.1623701662-1632477238.1623701662 Toyota Hydrogen Conversion - toyotatimes.jp/en/insidetoyota/143.html Toyota 24 Hour Race Results - toyotatimes.jp/en/insidetoyota/150.html Hydrogen Combustion Methods - mdpi.com/2076-3417/9/22/4842 Hydrogen Carbon Emissions - avl.com/documents/4053291/0/PDiM+2019_Energy+Landscape_Martin+Rothbart_AVL.pdf Gas Carbon Emissions - climatekids.nasa.gov/review/carbon/gasoline.html#:~:text=Burning%206.3%20pounds%20of%20gasoline,Huh!%3F JRC Well-To-Wheels Report - publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC85327 Hydrogen Production Costs - doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2016.09.044 Mirai Fuel Tank Weight - insideevs.com/news/323973/toyota-mirai-fuel-cell-sedan-priced-at-57500-specs-videos Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.
