Cool flames, which burn at temperatures much lower than traditional hot flames, could be the key to improving internal combustion engine efficiency and reducing the emission of harmful pollutants.

Key Points: 
  • Cool flames, which burn at temperatures much lower than traditional hot flames, could be the key to improving internal combustion engine efficiency and reducing the emission of harmful pollutants.
  • Currently, internal combustion engines in most cars burn gasoline at only 35% efficiency; however, incorporating cool flame chemistry into engines could theoretically increase the efficiency to as high as 60%.
  • On Earth, cool flames are difficult to study because gravity-driven buoyancy quickly snuffs them out.
  • Read the article " Going Cool to Go Green " to see how studying cool flames in space could lead to cleaner, more efficient internal combustion engines on Earth.
