Proe Afterburning™ Engine: a Low Cost alternative to Fuel Cell-Reformer Combination

· Fuel Cells require nearly pure hydrogen to operate

· Although the Hydrogen/Air fuel cell has extremely low fuel consumption (~0.065 lb/hp- hour), a Hydrogen infrastructure does not yet exist

· Fuel Cells using available fuels; Gasoline, Natural Gas (Methane), Propane, Diesel or alcohols; must have a separate reformer to extract the hydrogen from the fuel

· Reformers are large, heavy, complex, and expensive

· The Proe Afterburning™ Engine provides fuel economy superior to a fuel cell and reformer with all of today’s fuels except methanol

· A natural gas, propane, gasoline or Diesel fueled Proe Afterburning™ Engine has half the fuel consumption of a methanol fuel cell!

Proe Afterburning™ Cycle: Better for the Environment than Fuel Cell-Reformer Combination

· The Proe Afterburning™ Engine produces less greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions than a fuel cell & reformer combination with all of today’s fuels except methanol

· The Proe Afterburning™ Engine is far simpler and less costly than a fuel cell - reformer combination
