Practical Hydrogen Engine: An engine that uses hydrogen, or hydrogen and oxygen for fuel would stop the polution of the atmosphere and slow down global warming. The main problem is that at the present hydrogen is too expensive. The cheapest way to get hydrogen now is from natural gas and that still has carbons in it, so that would not produce the clean exhaust that you would want. Possible hydrogen engines for cars could be the internal combustion engine or the turbo jet engine or electric engines using fuel cells. A way to make these practical could be to retrieve the coasting kinetic energy of the vehicle by having a braking system attached to electric generators. The coasting energy is transformed into electrical energy which is used in electrolysis on water to convert that water into hydrogen and oxygen, and then feed that hydrogen and oxygen into the engine for fuel. Using this system you could make the engine using hydrogen practical for average drivers, by keeping the cost of the hydrogen that they would need down. As with the electric/gas hybrid cars, the coasting energy could be retrieved by having a breaking system that uses an electric generator attached, and that coasting kinetic energy could be changed into electrical energy for use in separating the hydrogen and oxygen. That hydrogen and oxygen would be fed into the engine for fuel. The hydrogen and oxygen mixture should produce larger explosions in the cylinders or higher air velocity in a combustion chamber (turbo-jet), with smaller amounts of hydrogen, then what you would get with a hydrogen/air mixture, increasing the effiiciency of the engine.
[The toyota electric gasoline hybrid car, with a breaking system attached to an electrical generator which is connected to a large battery, can now save about $7,500 on the price of gasoline, throughout the life of the car.]_______________________________________________________________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 -
