Storage of Hydrogen
Hydrogen is difficult to store. It has no colour or smell, dissipates quickly, unlike a liquid which forms a puddle. Hydrogen leaks are hard to detect and is highly flammable and burns with a nearly colourless flame. Storage os hydrogen is subject to tight regulations and control.
When hydrogen is used “on-demand” the problems expensive storage vessels or heavy toxic source materials are not required. It doesn’t produce any by-products that have to be disposed of or create supply problems when looking for our source materials.
Electrolysis continuously produces small quantities of petrol/gas as needed. This is much safer than the storage-type hydrogen systems.
How the Hydrogen On-Demand system works.
A on-demand hydrogen generator is basically a tank that holds distilled water and an electrolyte, such as potassium hydroxide.
The water is charged to induce electrolysis, which separates the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This is collected and forced into the engine through the air intake system. The added oxygen increases the octane level of the fuel.
Once the on-demand hydrogen is in the engine, it helps increase the flame spread during the combustion process. In other words, the hydrogen makes the flame in your engine burn faster.
The fuel you are putting into your car is used to power your car, and less is lost as unused waste. In this way the hydrogen is used as a combustion catalyst.
On-Demand hydrogen can reduce emissions, increase power, and increase petrol mileage of your car.
Is this the same as Brown’s Gas?
An Australian profession named Yul Brown, is credited with inventing the process of using hydrogen collected from electrolysis of water. Yul Brown is famous for creating a device that took water and created usable oxygen and hydrogen without any spontaneous combustion. Through electrolysis one litre of water can be made into 1,860 litres of hydrogen gas.
