(OP)
Can a piston engine run on cyrogenic Nitrogen and the exhaust recyled to the storage tank ?

output shaft? I read a paper by univ. of washington at seattle,WA. That Cryogenic Liquid Nitrogen can be used to power a Zero emission automotive vehicle 140km from 200 liters of LN2? Could this be practical for light weight 2 -4 passenger vehicle? Is their any work going on in this region of automotive propulsion research ??

The liquid nitrogen thing sounds like a fun project. However, as an environmental deal, somewhere they must have air-separation plants with electrical driven compressors and refrigeration stuff to bottle the liquid nitrogen. The energy would be used on the production end instead of sourced from combustion of the fuel. I don't see zero sum either.

In order to run an expansion engine with liquified gas there must be a heat source to vaporize the liquid which then expands over the piston to produce work.
What will the heat source be?
And, of course as jsummerfield pointed out, how much energy will be wasted to produce the liquified N2 in the first place?
