University of North Texas CooLN2Car
Designed, built, and tested by Dr.
Carlos Ordonez (Physics), Dr. Mitty
Plummer (Engineering Technology), and Dr.
Rick Reidy (Department of Materials Science) of the University
of North Texas , this developmental zero emission
vehicle employs a cryogenic heat engine and is fueled by liquid nitrogen.
This research was funded by the Texas Advanced Technology Program. Details
of this work were presented in July 1997 at the Cryogenic Materials Conference
in Portland, Oregon. Questions about this program can be addressed to:
