Electric Hydrogen-Injected Internal Combustion Engine

The Electric Hydrogen-Injected Internal Combustion Engine (EHIIC) is a motor unit that has found extensive use in both military and civilian land-based travel. While it is more prevalent among world militaries, many civilian vehicles still rely on traditional electric engines. The development of the first EHIIC engine by New Technologies Incorporated in 2233 came in response to the global ban on the use of oil and other natural resources, which was implemented by 187 countries three years prior.   The EHIIC engine offers several advantages over conventional engines, making it a preferred choice for military applications. By injecting hydrogen into the internal combustion process, it enhances the efficiency of the engine, resulting in improved performance and increased range. This technology also significantly reduces emissions, contributing to a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly operation. Additionally, the use of hydrogen as a fuel source allows for a more sustainable approach to land-based travel, as it can be produced using renewable energy sources. Despite its advantages, the adoption of EHIIC engines in civilian vehicles has been slower compared to their military counterparts. One reason for this is the cost associated with the technology, which makes it less accessible to the general public. Additionally, the infrastructure required to support hydrogen fueling stations is not as widespread as that for traditional electric vehicles, limiting the practicality of widespread usage.

Utility

The EHIIC’s pros are many, including a larger lifetime for the engine, more easily attaining higher speeds and more energy-efficient travel. However, the price tag this technology carries makes a more orthodox engine the more viable option in almost all cases. Its true utility, then, lies in military applications.

Manufacturing

EHIICs are manufactured in a very difficult process that combines the most advanced hydrogen based thrusters with a high grade electric engine, and to this already expensive mix is added a coordination system capable of tracking movement with a precision range going down to mere nanoseconds.

Access & Availability
The EHIIC engine is widely available to any vehicle manufacturer, but is more often used by the military, Big Rig Transportation companies and off-road vehicle developers.
Complexity
The EHIIC functions on the basis of a hybrid technology between hydrogen thrust generation and traditional electric engines. This combination was ideated as a means to fix most inefficiencies present in both systems by creating a hybrid coordinated engine capable of faster, more efficient and seamless travel.
