A system of operating an engine on a recyclable, relatively non-polluting fuel. The fuel may include any one or more of the following: magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), magnesium plus aluminum, magnesium-aluminum alloy, magnesium hydride (MgH2) aluminum hydride (AlH3) and magnesium aluminum hydride (Mg(AlH4)2). The fuel when burned produces oxides and hydroxides of magnesium and/or aluminum. The oxides and hydroxides can be reduced to magnesium and/or aluminum and/or their hydrides and reformed for reuse in the engine. The system is intended for use not only in automotive engines but also stationary power plants including refrigeration. |
