You can run a Diesel on kerosene and hydrogen peroxide--not for very long, and you don't want to be anywhere near the exhaust--but it can be done. For fuel to burn, it needs oxygen. We tend to use air because there's a lot of it and it's free. I see you say, "motor," not "engine." the best answer for that is 'a rocket motor.' Rockets carry their supply of oxygen bonded in the propellant mixture.

A motor runs on electricity needing no air. A engine runs on some type of fuel requiring air to run.

There are two (at this time) that need no "air". The rocket engine, for reasons others have listed and the "atomic" engine that powers everything from aircraft carriers and submarines to cities.
There is a third in research that "burns" bacteria to get motor action to drive bio-pumps, pace makers etc.

define green! In some circles, green capacity no emissions, meaning no power use, subsequently, the respond is NONE. on the different end of the spectrum the place green capacity decrease emissions than exchange into the norm 10 years in the past, there are some. Low sulphur diesels, a sparkling invention that has helped. All diesel engines made as we communicate in the S could use it. Addition of small quantities of biodiesel help decrease emissions. Smaller gentle weight vehicles with enginesundere a million.8 literusingg gas may be in thatcategoryy too. in direction of the backside of the checklist in relief is electrical powered vehicles on condition that they use power from coal. Oh, some will say that their electrical energy comes from hydro, its a lie, all of us lie on a grid and all of us share the capacity from it, even people who pay greater suitable for green capacity can not bodily hint that electron to a windmill, Ethanol is poisonous to people and animals. Ethanol produces greater CO2 in keeping with mile pushed than gas. Ethanol has a a techniques better volitility so with a view to apply it with out it eveaporating away in one day, you may have a pressurrized gas equipment, which vehicles positioned up 1980 have, so there is little VOC escaping. yet by way of fact we blend ethanol with gas, the ethanols extreme volitility makes the L/V ratio pass in direction of a extreme vapour ration meaning greater benezenes are embarked on the atmospher. gas makers have countered benzene launch from ethanol fuels and prevalent gas by utilising changing benzene to cyclohexane. Ethanol has a extreme octane score, yet not one producer has equipped a automobile on the industry in the U. S. to take great factor approximately this. the only places the place people take benefit is on race tracks, why you ask, by way of fact engines that take benefit value two times as plenty.

A rocket don't need air cause it carries its own oxygen. For combustion you need oxygen(air).
