Thread: running on hydrogen gas

Tweet

since it takes energy from the fuel->engine->alternator/battery to produce the H2,
and this conversion isn't 100% efficient, claimimg to run more mpg
would be akin to perpetual motion.

maybe if the hydrolysis ran on solar cell mounted on the roof it would help mpg by a tiny amount? (.1%), but probably better to use the solar instead of alternator saving a touch of engine drag.

unfortunately, air drag from the solar cells on the roof and the weight of the cells probably way exceeds any gains.

The acetone was thought to solublize water in the gas, hoping to separate into h2+O and burn when it turns to a plasma.
Since combustion also produces water and it comes out the tailpipe as such, evidently this doesn't work?

acetone plays sheer hell on plastics.
