HYDROGEN-POWERED OPPOSED-PISTON ENGINE

A two-stroke cycle uniflow-scavenged opposed-piston engine is configured to use hydrogen fuel. The opposed-piston engine has at least one cylinder and a pair of pistons disposed for opposed motion in a bore of the cylinder. Hydrogen fuel is injected into the cylinder early in a compression stroke of the opposed-piston engine, and is ignited in a combustion chamber formed between the pistons late in the compression stroke.
