magifesq Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I've had one of those on both my car and truck for over a year, posted some threads about these earlier. If I get any breakthroughs oh how to go from Gasoline to Hydrogen/water power only - I'll be sure to give Ohio Riders preferred pricing LOL.

Harb67 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 So I'm confused. Does it burn hydrogen along with the gasoline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magifesq Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yessir. Right now its like a fuel additive on my car and truck - added power only, with some add-ons I could fool the computer into leaning out the gas and increase fuel economy as well. Without going into a full blown lecture I'll jut say this - the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) doesn't care what the fuel source is, its simply a mechanical device. It will burn gasoline, alcohol, hydrogen, if it is a gas or liquid and burns your engine will burn it. That said the stoichiometric ratios are different for each fuel source so you will need a different amount of fuel to burn for each setup. There's other considerations too, but I wanted to keep it short and sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 im glad you added about the ratios cuz i can see someone reading this and dumping some methanol into their bike and not getting to far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the Super Chief concept Ford put out a few years ago that ran on gas, ethanol, or hydrogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magifesq Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I re-read the article, says its a hybrid ie still burns gas as well. Hydrogen & Oxygen in the combustion chamber are great at cleaning up the greenhouse gases / harmful emissions. Also - think about this your alternator / stator / generator they make more electrical energy than your system will use all the time - that's why the voltage regulator/rectifier buffers it out for you. What the hydrogen booster does is tap into that energy that just gets grounded out to make driving/riding better for the environment and if you like using power as well as having it, like me, its the best of both worlds.

magifesq Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I've got to put my wife's saturn on a dyno to show some real world improvements over just gasoline. Some claim 13% more horsepower than gasoline alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
