Hydrogen is
the simplest, lightest known element in the universe. It is made up
of one proton and one electron. Because of its simplicity, it is
believed by some that hydrogen may be the root of all elements.
IS HYDROGEN
SAFE?
Hydrogen
combustion produces only water. When pure hydrogen is burned in pure
oxygen, only pure water is produced. When a hydrogen engine burns, it
actually cleans the ambient air, by completing combustion of the
unburned hydrocarbons in the air that surrounds it. However as soon
as Hydrogen is stored under pressure it becomes a safety hazard and a
potential bomb.
ADVANTAGES
OF HYDROGEN
1. Hydrogen
is non-polluting (water H2O)
is the exhaust).
2. Hydrogen
is cheap to produce (from tap water, distilled water or sea water )
3. Hydrogen
is safer than petrol or diesel.
4. Hydrogen
can help prevent the depletion of fossil fuels.
5. Hydrogen
can be produced anywhere on earth.
6.
Hydrogen can be made by virtually anybody.
MORE HORSE
POWER
Installing
the H2O4Fuel
device does not require any
modifications to your engine. It just connects into the existing
system.
Most vehicle
owners know by now that an engine loses efficiency as it accumulates
carbon build-up.
When an
engine burns conventional fuels carbon deposits build-up in the
cylinders. In time, this carbon accumulation negatively affects the
performance of your engine by decreasing horse-power.
Most of us
are concerned about global warming. You might already know that some
of this phenomenon is considered to be caused by an increase of
carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere.
The
wonderful thing about supplemental hydrogen is that clean-burning
hydrogen helps to better combust polluting carbon based fuels and
greatly reduces the amount of harmful emissions.
Notwithstanding
increased power, fuel efficiency and money-savings, every vehicle on
the road today should use Supplemental Hydrogen for the environmental
benefits alone!
Here
is a quote from George Vosper, Professional Engineer:
“Hydrogen
boost technology works. Basically, a small amount of hydrogen
introduced into the cylinders will help the fuel to burn more
efficiently.”
“..a
Hydrogen Generating System (HGS) for trucks or cars has been on the
market for some time. Mounted on a vehicle, it feeds small amounts of
hydrogen and oxygen into the engine’s air intake. Its makers claim
savings in fuel, reduced noxious and greenhouse gases and increased
power. The auto industry is not devoid of hoaxes and as engineers are
skeptics by training, it is no surprise that a few of them say the
ideas won’t work. Such opinions, from engineers can’t be
dismissed without explaining why I think these Hydrogen Generating
Systems do work and are not just another hoax.
The 2nd
law of thermodynamics is a likely source of those doubts.
Meaning….the law – would lead you to believe that it will
certainly take more power to produce this hydrogen than can be
regained by burning it in the engine. i.e. the resulting energy
balance should be negative. If the aim is to create hydrogen by
electrolysis to be burned as a fuel, the concept is ridiculous. On
the other hand, if hydrogen, shortens the burn time of the main
fuel-air mix, putting more pressure on the piston through a longer
effective power stroke, and in doing so takes more work out of the
combustion process, then this system does make sense.”
DOES IT
WORK?
Independent
studies, at different universities, using various fuels, have shown
that flame speeds increase when small amounts of hydrogen are added
to air-fuel mixes. A study by the California Institute of Technology,
at its Jet Propulsion Lab Pasadena in 1974 concluded:
The J.P.L.
concept has unquestionably demonstrated that the addition of small
quantities of gaseous hydrogen to the primary fuel significantly
reduces CO (carbon monoxide) and NOx (nitrous oxide) exhaust
emissions while improving engine thermal efficiency.
A recent
study at the University of Calgary by G.A. Karim on the effect of
adding hydrogen to a methane-fuelled engine says …”The addition
of some hydrogen to the methane, speeds up the rates of initiation
and subsequent propagation of flames over the whole combustible
mixture range, including for very fast flowing mixtures. This
enhancement of flame initiation and subsequent flame propagation,
reduces the Ignition delay and combustion period in both spark
ignition and compression ignition engines which should lead to
noticeable improvements in the combustion process and performances.”
