The Griffiths Electromagnetically-Governed Hydrogen Combustion Engine (H₂-EM Engine v2) A Plasma-Locked, Field-Gated, Predictively Governed Architecture for Safe, Stable Hydrogen Combustion

The H2‑EM Engine v2.0 is a hydrogen combustion architecture built around electromagnetic governance rather than mechanical containment. It is designed for heavy‑duty, industrial, off‑highway, and defence applications where hydrogen’s instability has historically made conventional engines unsafe or unreliable. The core idea is that hydrogen’s problems are kinetic, not thermodynamic,

Dynamic Pulsed Electromagnetic Vehicle Collision Avoidance System

The Dynamic Pulsed Electromagnetic Collision Avoidance System is an innovative vehicle safety concept designed to reduce road accidents by preventing collisions before they occur. Unlike conventional safety technologies that mainly rely on warning drivers or applying emergency brakes, this system aims to actively alter the trajectory of a vehicle using controlled electromagnetic pulses.

Rethinking EV efficiency: A 1,500 lb Energy-Harvesting Platform

I am currently developing a next-generation electric vehicle platform that solves the biggest pain points in the current EV market: excessive weight, prohibitive battery costs, and range limitations.

While the industry is currently focused on building heavier, more expensive vehicles, my approach is fundamentally different. I am engineering an ultra-lightweight (1,500–1,600 lbs),

Hybrid ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) Retrofits

The billions of ICEs have served humanity for >1.5 centuries ushering in modern civilization. They are of 2-stroke/4-stroke cycles, each having compression-/spart ignitions called ‘diesel/gasoline’, respectively. Each of these 4 has pro-&-con and serves in different applications. The “heart” of ICEs is the piston which reciprocates inside the combustion chamber to turn fuel into work.

Digitally Controlled Rotary Engine (DCRE)

To eliminate the issues of incomplete combustion, high fuel consumption, and high emissions inherent in the Wankel engine's elongated combustion chamber, this Digitally Controlled Rotary Engine (DCRE) introduces an external combustion chamber. By pairing it with air compression and expansion chambers that mimic Wankel geometry, it creates an entirely new hybrid engine design (see Fig.1, 2). Because compression, combustion,
