Longer Engine Life! Reduced carbon buildup on the cylinder walls and spark plugs.
There are currently 3 billion internal combustion engines worldwide. These engines can be converted to run on zero-emission hydrogen while receiving a boost in horsepower of up to 20%. ICE conversions will initially be offered in geographic areas that are in close proximity to the emerging hydrogen highways.
Why hydrogen combustion? Hydrogen burns uniformly and can therefore be combusted with a higher thermal efficiency than gasoline When hydrogen gas is burned it produces only water vapor**. Hydrogen combustion yields zero-emissions, provides an easily renewable fuel cycle and a limitless supply of energy.
The method for combusting hydrogen has a many similarities to compressed natural gas (CNG) combustion. CNG vehicles are common worldwide and the parts needed to convert existing gasoline engines to CNG are readily available This means that, with only two small exceptions, the parts needed to convert an existing gasoline car to a bi-fuel hydrogen car are also readily available! What are those two small exceptions? The fuel injection system and the on-board diagnostic computer (OBD) interface. Please click on the above links for more detailed explanations.
(**At combustion temperatures above 4000 degrees Fahrenheit, nitrogen dioxide is also created in small quantities due to the nitrogen content of atmospheric air. This can be avoided by controlling the combustion temperature to be below the 4000 degree threshold. There are many standard ways to accomplish this.)
