Abstract

A group of synthetic fuels called hydronitrogens has been evaluated as automotive fuels for the time period beyond the year 2000. Hydronitrogen fuels are composed of hydrogen and nitrogen. As such, they can be synthesized from air and water without the use of fossil fuels. The main hydronitrogen fuels are hydrazine, N2H4, and ammonia, NH3. Ammonia by itself has already been extensively tested by other investigators and was found to have poor combustion properties. No work has been reported to date on hydrazine combustion in internal combustion engines, but hydrazine burning velocity in air is expected to be higher than that of ammonia or hydrocarbons. This will result in more rapid and more complete combustion. When completely burned, and after removing eventually formed nitrogen oxides, hydronitrogen fuels would be non-polluting to the environment.
