In Reply to: Hydrogen in Diesel posted by Roy Suomi on July 28, 2008 at 14:55:39:
As Buickanddeere indicate the making of hydrogen fuel requires the unmaking of hydrogen ash. (we call it water) To have hydrogen to burn forces two atoms of it to be stripped from an oxygen atom. This requires breaking a pair of covalent bonds. (the creation of which was the energy derived from burning the hydrogen in the first place). The "free lunch" in this case uses electricity from the alternator to drive the hydrogen generator. That is a energy drag way beyond the energy derived from the combustion of the hydrogen introduced into the engine. If anyone claims fuel economy improvements, they keep poor records, and are also affected by their intent to have it help. This causes changes in driving habits that do change milage. When we drive vehicles, we use the hydrogen in the hydrocarbon to make energy (not any where as much as from the carbon, but substantial). For every 5 gallons of fuel we burn, we produce about a gallon of new water. That is the cold morning vapor coming out of the tail pipe. It is all a sourcing problem. JimN
