Something exotic, like a pulverised coal engine?

Sorry, but I'm coming to this thread late and trying to get caught up. All of the discussion regarding alternative-fuel is referring to other components produced by the builder of this engine and not to this engine, correct?

Zitra by Zimmermann (former NSU racing driver) and designer Schönner, 1949.

You certainly found it!  :applause:

The engine was shown in May 1949 at the Internationale Motor-Schau in Reutlingen.
As no other company wanted to buy these engines for their microcars, Zitra announced a microcar of their own design in August 1949, but already in December 1949 it was announced that they won't build a Zitra microcar.

A nice brochure for the engine below:
