Diesel: C10H22 to C20H42

It was already running on 67% hydrogen.

The problem with hydrogen is trying to store it, or minimize it’s loss. Right now, it’s no different than electric batteries in that you can leave a hydrogen vehicle in your driveway for a couple of weeks and you’re going to come back to a vehicle that is sitting empty.

Filling it up and using it up in short order works where you can do that.

University of New South Wales Professor Shawn Kook must have gotten well paid for this "research".

The issue isn't about getting an engine, any engine, to run on hydrogen. The issue is about transporting hydrogen in a stable enough medium before burning it... like maybe in a hydrocarbon chain called petrol, diesel, propane, gas, etc.

Where are they going to get the hydrogen? If you crack methane, it gives off poisonous carbon dioxide.

Internal combustion engines are the only viable engine. That includes electric motors, for now at least.

I don’t care what my ICE runs on as long as it has the power required to do what I need it to do and doesn’t cost me more money.

Just from a metallurgy perspective, hydrogen is problematic.

People who want to reduce CO2 also hate food and puppies and guppies and yuppies and a green(er) planet.

This is not much different than a gasifier. The engine doesn’t actually run on liquid gas.

“Any diesel engine could be retrofitted to burn hydrogen in just a couple of MONTHS....” Not a real strong sales point, if I may say so.

the major problem with hydrogen is, the there is NONE on the Earth in pure form.
This machine would be great on the Sun, which has a lot of hydrogen.
On the Earth, it has to be made, using fossil fuels!
Basically the same problem like electricity.
It is clear on the moving vehicle, but dirty somewhere, where the power is made.

Two Words: Hydrogen Embrittlement

On a million mile diesel engine, that’s a killer.
Maybe you could run a diesel generator to crack water??

Hydrogen stock is a good investment major countries are gearing up production for it.

Makes pulling dead EV cars to the side of the road.

I have something almost as good. If connects to your fuel line and aligns the molecules magnetically for 20 % better fuel mileage. Send me 29.95 plus 10.00 shipping and handling and thumb your nose at big oil. Or big hydrogen. Or whatever.

Some people on youtube have done testing of cars with and without hydrogen generators. With hydrogen they get worse mileage.

File this with 200mpg carburetors.
