Unchained energy

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 401, issue 6750, 226-226

Abstract: The explosions in an internal-combustion engine are chain reactions, and the links in this chain are the free radicals liberated by combustion. But the chains are terminated prematurely, so Daedalus plans to build a 'radical engine', which allows the reaction to go to completion. His engine could make car-exhaust pollutants -- such as unburnt and partly burnt fuel -- a thing of the past.
