On demand Dry cell Hydrogen systems

[subheatadey]

I thought i would get the ball rolling on dry cell hydrogen systems, my brother has got it into his head and is building me a 'on demand dry cell hydrogen system', he reckons the type 1 engine is ideal for one to be incorporated giving better economy and a cleaner engine - updates will follow as he slowly gets his finger out! Anyone else buggered around with them?

Much demand? :?

I'm curious for sure.

 

[Skyguy]

Tell me more.

You've lost me too Adey. :? What the hell is a Dry cell Hydrogen system?

Think its like a flux capacitor but works below 88mph as none of us can go that fast :lol: :lol:

with a bit of luck once fitted you will be burning off P1's from the lights :msn4:

interested by depends on the costs , sounds mucho monies!

FFS not his again!

Do some research!

SO !!!!

Who started it this time then,,,,,,,,, Huh ??

That bleedin Adey,, that`s who started it. I just hung by the sidelines with my popcorn :mrgreen:

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Just gonna pop down the garage for the Mrs,,, she wants a long weight :mrgreen:

Wait, I'm confused... I thought HHO generators were a thing? Something about a cleaner burn and therefore less petrol usage etc, etc.

Heard about them in theory but never in practice.

Or am I mad?

You got it George :lol:

Theory is essentially that you use electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen, then burn the hydrogen to run the engine. It works, as an experiment, and can be kinda cool to do.

Problem is that burning the hydrogen is the process of bonding it with oxygen and as such, gives out exactly the same amount of energy that you used separating it in the first place (not taking losses into account).
So a really efficient system would give out nearly enough energy to keep the battery charged, with no useful energy left over. Eventually your battery will discharge and you’re done until you introduce some more energy by charging it up again.
Basically, you’ve made a chemical battery, you’re using that to run your engine, and you’re using the engine to charge the battery up again- which doesn’t work.

Even if you’re using petrol too and using the hydrogen as a “top up”- it’s a net loss.


In conclusion...
