Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have achieved a major milestone in hydrogen power by operating a new compressorless gas turbine for a record 303 seconds. The burner uses an advanced form of pressure-gain combustion and surpassed NASA’s previous record of 250 seconds.
The result also marks progress toward using hydrogen for cleaner energy production. Unlike natural gas, hydrogen can be produced using renewable energy sources. Earlier this year, the KIT team also became the first to generate electricity with a hydrogen gas turbine that does not rely on a mechanical compressor.
