Breakthrough fuel for marine transport
Breakthrough fuel for sea transport. Author: David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor judbarovski@ gmail.com , Linkedin Abstract It is a fuel being (a) powerful like oil in diesel, (b) zero-carbon one like hydrogen, (c) hazard free vs. hazard ammonia, (d) cheap. It is Zn(NH2)2, while its Zn is extremely cheap, because Zn3N2 being intermediate product with very low enthalpy formation/decomposition. (1) 3 Zn(NH2)2 at 200 C is decomposed in Zn3N2 + 4 NH3 (2) NH3 can be used (2a) either by co-firing in old-fashion diesel engine. (2b) or by triple more energy effective the NH3 in electricity by hydrogen-air fuel cell (can be cheap device) after the NH3 decomposition (3) Either on-board, or outside Zn3N2 is decomposed in 3 Zn + N2 consuming 22.6 kJ / mol Zn3N2 = 32 kWh/ton Zn, being a heat preferable in a form of electricity with a help of tiny share of 4NH3. .
