  1. What Will The Ideal Hydrogen ICE Look Like? Paul McLachlan Pivotal Engineering Ltd

  2. What is an Internal Combustion Engine ?

  3. High power density? 100 Hp 100 Hp

  4. What is an Internal Combustion Engine? Engine Fuel Torque

  5. Where do we start ? First establish the criteria then design a new engine that has all the required features

  6. A very different fuel requires a very different device

  7. Hydrogen Combustion Characteristics • Low volumetric power density • Low ignition energy requirement • High flame speed at stoichiometric ratios • High auto ignition temperature • Short quenching distance • High diffusivity

  8. Hydrogen Combustion Characteristics • Low volumetric power density • Low ignition energy requirement • High flame speed at stoichiometric ratios • High auto ignition temperature • Short quenching distance • High diffusivity

  9. High Flame-front Speed

  10. Hydrogen Combustion Characteristics • Low volumetric power density • Low ignition energy requirement • High flame speed at stoichiometric ratios • High auto ignition temperature • Short quenching distance • High diffusivity

  11. Criteria for H2 engine • Full thermal control • High power density • High thermal efficiency • Low parasitic losses • Crankcase flushing • Longevity • Low Cost • Dual fuel capability

  12. The Water Cooled Pivotal Piston

  13. Moving Mass takes Energy More Mass More Energy More Fuel More Emissions

  14. Do we use our car less? Or do we take less car with us?

  15. An Automotive Comparison

  16. Compact Car with 220 HP Pivotal Engine

  17. The 400cc Motorcycle • 400 cc • Twin chamber • 11000 RPM • 100 MPH

  18. One Litre Twin Chamber Engine • Water-cooled piston • 1000cc • twin chamber • 100 hp • 6200 rpm

  19. Pivotal DI Engine • 1000 cc • Twin Chamber • Orbital direct injection

  20. Pivotal Light Sport Plane Engine • Power 120 hp. • Weight 120 lb. • TBO 1000 hours. • BSFC ½ lb.per hp/hr

  21. 30 KWStand AloneGenset • 30 KW • 250 Kg

  22. 2 Litre Opposed Four Engine

  23. The Pivotal engine has the potential to power our vehicles long into the future

  24. The water-cooled Pivotal piston is fundamental to the hydrogen economy.
