Recently, a project testing metal combustion led by the Alternative Fuels Laboratory at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ launched on a European Space Agency rocket.

The project, an international collaboration between the Alternative Fuels Laboratory at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency, and Airbus Defence and Space, aims to improve scientific understanding of metal flames, laying the groundwork for a new type of green engine that burns iron powder, with only rust as a by-product.

Can you imagine a future where your car is fueled by iron powder instead of gasoline?

Metal powders, produced using clean primary energy sources, could provide a more viable long-term replacement for fossil fuels than other widely discussed alternatives, such as hydrogen, biofuels or batteries, according to a study in the Dec. 15 issue of the journal Applied Energy.
