Hydrogen Fuel: It’s a Gas!

My friend Wayne ran his Cadillac on hydrogen along with gasoline for over a year. He got wonderful mileage then his engine blew up. He thinks that burning hydrogen was too dry and needs some kind of top lubrication. That was over 6 years ago. Now, Hydrogen gas in cars is more popular, and is a more recently available option these days if you count the number of kits being offered on the Internet.
A difficult situation for your automobile is the pitting of the metal caused by high motor accelerations during idling when using hydrogen fuel. If the high concentration of hydrogen increases too much, the stationary ring will get a flaking failure. The industry is looking into different ways to get oil into the top end engine to help elevate this drawback to using hydrogen fuel.
It is a known fact that some Alternative fuels, i.e., biofuels may cause metal stress. Ethanol stress, corrosion, cracking is being researched by the industrial industry to see how this problem can be avoided. We have so many natural resources in the USA to make the biofuels ” why pay $6.00 a gallon when our own country has the means to make fuels.
When times get hard enough the American public begins to wake up and demand an improvement in the situation. Now that gasoline at the gas pump has gone up to $4.50 a gallon in 2008, America is starting to demand relief. At one time there was a very successful electrical car that the testing families loved. A movie: “who killed the electric car?” was produced to get attention to the withdrawal and crushing of the electric car.
Confronted with the ever-increasing cost of gasoline, the public is demanding an alternative to gas and wants to see a locally produced Bio-fuel solution. Some worldwide automakers are in search of a way to produce cost-effectively improving vehicle fuel economy while still meeting today’s strict emissions protection legislation. Why have gas saving inventions been bought up and hidden?
Since hydrogen isn’t readily available at your local filling station, selling a hydrogen-boosted gas engine is still not a reality. One more hopeful way to boost fuel economy is to add hydrogen to the fuel/air mixture in a conservative gasoline engine. This hydrogen-boosted gas engine will sell like hot cakes if it works as well as projected.
Hydrogen can be used in combustion engines, and its by-product is only water. This makes hydrogen the almost-perfect fuel for today and tomorrow.
