Warming up of our globe, then this is one of the means by which we can reduce the rate of global warming.\"\u003cbr/\u003eTel Aviv, Israel - 25 October, 2007 \u003cbr/\u003e31. Busy freeway\u003cbr/\u003e32. Heat rising from heavy traffic\u003cbr/\u003eAs crude oil prices remain high at around $90 US a barrel, a group of Israeli scientists are working on a device that can cut fuel consumption in half, boosts engine efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. \u003cbr/\u003eThe developers say their 'Molecular Engine' could help fight global warming and revolutionise how modern cars are made. \u003cbr/\u003eA group of engineers in Israel have developed an engine that can dramatically reduce harmful CO2 emissions.\u003cbr/\u003eThe unlikely team of inventors hope their system will pave the way to a future where cleaner cars run on hydrogen.\u003cbr/\u003eDemonstrating his invention is Moshe Lev Learner, an engineer who used to build missile engines for the Soviet army.\u003cbr/\u003eThe small suitcase-shaped device is installed in the back of an ordinary van.\u003cbr/\u003eLooking into the back of the van Learner points out one of the sensors that measures the fuel's temperature.\u003cbr/\u003eHis 'Molecular Engine\" delivers carefully regulated amounts of hydrogen into the fuel-air mixture of regular car engines. \u003cbr/\u003eThe result is a hotter, more efficient combustion, which generates more power to drive the car and emits less noxious exhaust fumes. \u003cbr/\u003eOnce inside his workshop Lerner introduces one of his colleagues Voloyda who works on the reactor (where the chemical reaction takes place.)\u003cbr/\u003eConverting a vehicle to use the molecular engine means fitting it with an auxiliary fuel tank, pump, hoses, filters, reactor and a control unit. \u003cbr/\u003eThe auxiliary fuel tank contains a mixture which is mostly water with some methanol and an additive the inventor is keeping secret for the time being. \u003cbr/\u003eThe mixture goes by the name of Clean Motors Diesel, or CMD, and is sold at around 30% less than the pump price of regular petrol or diesel. \u003cbr/\u003eThe reactor uses the engine's heat to crack the CMD fuel on creating hydrogen which is then mixed in with the regular fuel as it enters the cylinders. \u003cbr/\u003eA small computer fitted inside the car adjusts the amount of hydrogen needed at each millisecond. \u003cbr/\u003eThe inventors say the system can be adapted to work with and petroleum products or even bio-diesel.\u003cbr/\u003eThe parts, including installation, are sold for US Dollars $1,200 for a gasoline engine and US Dollars $1,400 for diesel engines. \u003cbr/\u003eDespite the less than glamorous surroundings, this trio of engineers are no amateur inventors.\u003cbr/\u003eBefore settling in Israel, Lerner was involved in the research and development of jet and missile engine programmes for the Soviet Army and also worked for German car-maker Porsche.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Israel he spent a decade improving internal combustion engines fitted to Apache helicopter gunships and tanks. \u003cbr/\u003eThe molecular engine is just one of eight worldwide patents he has to his name. \u003cbr/\u003eCommenting on the Lerner's engine is Professor Eran Sher, an expert on internal combustion engines at Israel's Ben Gurion University.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says the unique aspect of Lerner's invention is the fact that the hydrogen is produced inside the vehicle, on demand.\u003cbr/\u003eSher explains the engine's cylinder receives small amounts of air that include fuel and small quantities of hydrogen.\u003cbr/\u003eThe result is cleaner and more efficient combustions process.\u003cbr/\u003eBack at the workshop Lerner demonstrates just how clean the combustion process is, by holding a piece of paper close to a car's exhaust.\u003cbr/\u003eThe paper remains unmarked and unspoiled.\u003cbr/\u003eSher says the breakthrough is that the developers are able to control the production of the hydrogen to match the engine's performance.\u003cbr/\u003eThe first prototype was fitted into a van that has been running successfully for close to three years, and has demonstrated a fifty percent reduction in fuel consumption. \u003cbr/\u003eSher says engines like this can help in reducing the rate of global warming, by cutting CO2 emission.\u003cbr/\u003eThe motive is to eliminate the emissions resulting from fossil fuels in a competitive and cost effective way by reducing the amount of petrol or diesel consumed while improving performance of existing engines.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
