On
Board Hydrogen injection for increased fuel efficiency: Brown’s gas, when injected into the
intake of an internal combustion engine, seems to act as a catalyst for combustion.
Combustion is more complete and emissions are reduced. It can speed up
combustion and yet, at the same time, reduce gasoline’s temptation to
pre-ignite. Thus, it acts like an octane increaser. To create Brown’s Gas in an
automobile, we have to use our DC power supply of the battery and alternator.
But since an efficient power supply requires DC pulses, a special power
supply design is required. (Or use the
AC from the alternator.) Here’s where I’m at: I have built the power supply using a microprocessor
to control the pulses. I have the electrolyzer unit built from
Stainless Steel. The controls of reducing the amount of
liquid gasoline is problematic and that’s the next focus. (It needs to
integrate with a typical injection control system.) |
