What is Hydrogen Injection ?
For purpose of this discussion:
It refers to INJECTING Hydrogen into the combustion process of an Internal Combustion Engine
Technically:
We are referring to injecting the product of splitting water into it’s base elements – Hydrogen & Oxygen (H2O)
So:
We should be calling it “Hydroxy”, “Brown’s Gas”, “HHO”, or 1 of several other names !
Why would we want to do that ?
Hydrogen has long been known to be a good fuel for an Internal Combustion Engine (I.C.E.) NASA produced a report back in the ’70’s documenting the virtues.
1. The only byproduct is WATER and that could be recycled in a closed loop system ! NO EMISSIONS !
2. Hydrogen burns with a Flame Front of 3400 Ft/Sec (many times faster than gasoline) greatly reducing the need for timing advance, so most of the energy is transferred to the power stroke.
But wait, there is MORE !
Hydrogen is actually the fuel in the “hydro” carbon combustion reaction when gasoline or Diesel fuel is burned.
Petroleum based fuels consist of Hydrogen and Carbon molecules varying in complexity, known as “chains”. The more complex the chain, the later in the Combustion process it burns.
By introducing extra Hydrogen atoms to the mix Carbon Atoms will combine with them creating “shorter Chains” releasing more energy from the fuel = EFFICIENCY
