Innovation: eriver engine
How the motor works
The eriver engine is a combustion engine with a system that
- Separates oxygen from the surrounding air
- Operates on gasoline or diesel
- Retains, liquefies, and stores CO2 emissions
The latest technology for continuous oxygen production is achieved with MIEC membranes*. These membranes allow for the selective separation of oxygen from the air. They can be installed in cars as a source of oxygen.
Thanks to higher energy efficiency, eriver engines can be built with a volume (displacement) four times smaller to achieve the same driving power. This also reduces the resulting CO2 volume by a factor of 3.5.
* Mixed Ionic Electronic Conductor
The eriver engine is equipped with a device
- Where the stored and liquefied CO2 is dispensed at recycling stations
- And made available for further processing
Positive impact for society
- No electrical resources are required for mobility with the eriver motor.
- CO2 no longer escapes uncontrolled into the atmosphere.
- Thanks to innovative and ingenious engineering, the proven petrol and diesel engines are still being manufactured and installed in motor vehicles.
- Liquid CO2 continues to be used as a raw material in industry.
Vision
The eriver engine sees itself as an additional alternative to electric energy-dependent hydrogen vehicles and battery-powered vehicles.
As things stand today, we know that the available electrical energy will demonstrably never be able to cover the future demand for e-mobility.
Looking at the entire "well to wheel" chain - from the generation and provision of drive energy to the conversion into kinetic energy - the eriver engine achieves the best result compared to hydrogen vehicles and electric cars.
Thanks to the eriver engine, mobility will remain affordable for everyone in the future.
„With the "eriver system", the proven diesel and petrol engine can be further developed and operated thanks to innovative and ingenious engineering.„
