A former Royal Navy submariner has used his military knowledge to develop a green engine technology that can halve car emissions as stricter MoT tests come into force next month. Brian Sheard, who served on nuclear hunter-killer craft, retired from the service after 23 years and took inspiration from the way submarines make their own air during months-long missions. His technology, contained in a black box attached to the car engine, creates small amounts of hydrogen to inject into the fuel/air mix and create a cleaner and more complete burn of the fuel. Tests have shown that this can cut visible soot particulates and give fuel consumption savings of between 5 and 7 per cent. Mr Sheard’s company, CGON, is collaborating with Morgan Motor Company…
