Ariel researchers develop new type of hydrogen generator with sodium borohydride for on-demand use

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Ariel University in Israel have developed a new type of hydrogen generator for “on-demand” use with fuel cells. The system consists of two main chambers: an upper chamber with granulated sodium borohydride powder and a lower reaction chamber with a solution of water and catalyst. Zakhvatkin et al.

Camry in Europe features new 2.0L engine with VVT-iW for both Atkinson and Otto cycles; 13% lower fuel consumption

Green Car Congress

The concept of combining the Atkinson cycle at part loads with the Otto cycle at full loads stretches back more than 30 years to a 1982 paper by a team of researchers from Tel-Aviv University and the Israel Institute of Technology. In addition, the unit is equipped with a water-cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system.
