Studies on the alternatives to the spark ignition internal combustion engine are summarized. Alternatives reviewed include: electric and hybrid engines, Rankine cycle steam engine, Stirling engine, Brayton (gas turbine) engine, diesel engine, and the stratified charge engine. Advantages, disadvantages, and feasibility of each are reviewed. (ND)
