Device Burns Fuel with Almost Zero Emissions

Georgia Institute of Technology Press Release, 21 Jun 2006 Georgia Tech researchers have created a new combustor (combustion chamber where fuel is burned to power an engine or gas turbine) designed to burn fuel in a wide range of devices -- with next to no emission of nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, two of the primary causes of air pollution. The device has a simpler design than existing state-of-the-art combustors and could be manufactured and maintained at a much lower cost, making it more affordable in everything from jet engines and power plants to home water heaters.
