Hydrogen by electrolysis injected into a diesel engine

[elephant]

Some people have thought for a long time that a little hydrogen improves the quality of combustion, beyond the energy supply of the injected hydrogen.

No indisputable demonstration has been made, and in any case not with modern engines.

Some believe (including me) that the alternator is not powerful enough to produce enough hydrogen.

Difficult in addition to differentiating between the influence of the supply of hydrogen and that of the essential modification of the injection map, essential in this case.

I recommend that you (re) carefully read 'Improved electrolysis'

Water in the form of vapor is more easily electrolyzed. It should be vaporized by recovering the heat from the exhaust and then passed between electrolysis plates to inject the hydrogen.

For Pierre-Yves: there is this solution, which is scientifically proven / proven:

And there no need for fossil fuel. However, some believe that compared to diesel, the power output would not be sufficient? But nothing prevents combining this energy with the sails of a boat made of "photovoltaic fabric" ... which would serve both as a mode of propulsion and as an energy source for the production of formic acid. With water available in abundance, the loop would be completed with a boat - admittedly slower - but 100% autonomous ... It is now possible in practice: to be continued!

Problem yield similar to that of algae or forests in the sun transformed into fuel by any means, such as a gasifier or other !!

Because storing photovoltaic electricity already at reduced yield, to make a fuel (formic or alcohol, or other, hydrogen) burnt afterwards for an engine or electricity, a very long chain, has a yield hardly better than photosynthesis, algae or trees, as fuel.

I transfer the last intervention from ex-océano:

towards the subject "improved electrolysis", where it is more in its place:
