Aquarius engines, and Israeli firm has been hard at work, developing a superlight weight hydrogen powered engine since 2014 and now finally 8 years later the engine is close to maturity. the Aquarius Two Sided Free Piston Linear Engine is designed to generate electricity for plug-in series hybrids or range-extenders. In other words, the engine isn’t meant to be the sole motor in the automobile, rather a the motors job is to extend the range of a electric vehicle by driving an electric generator that charges the vehicle's battery. Almost like the new tiny rotatory Mazda wants to utilize in there CX30.
Aquarius Engines waited to unveil the new hydrogen engine until after successful third-party tests were conducted by the world-renowned Austrian engineering firm AVL-Schrick. The tests demonstrated that a modified version of the original Aquarius Engine can fully operate on Hydrogen. So the motor has actually been tested and it works, unlike some of the other engines, like the omega 1 which is an awesome engine in theory, but only time will tell if it will ever come into fruition.
