I got an email few days ago about this product hydrogen conversion What do u guys thinks?
It's a common question. Many people ask "Why is the EPA involved in this anyway?"cjsupra90 said:The part that I cant seam to understand is why the EPA would be so worried about.
The calorific value of these fules is higher than that of petrol and you can run a slightly higher compression ratio or run more boost if you wanted to before detonation.
Welcome Monsterer,
Looks like I'm a bit old school and calculate engine fuel consumption in lb/hr. Must be those dark noisy years I spent in ships engine rooms.
Anyway back to Hydrogen
Good luck in an internal conbustion engine.
LPG has had a bad rep for loss of mileage and power, but IMHO, it's only because people are running LPG on engines designed for petrol and converted to LPG.
Really? Good look on things. For some reason ethanol gets all this attention when 1 gallon of E85 has like 65% the energy of 1 gallon of typical gasoline. Not really a improvement in much of any way over gas.
Ah, but it has the same key advantage as LPG - octane rating. Its very high, so you can run high compression ratios to recover the lost power and also lots of boost can be safely run...
Ta, Paul.
You'll get more or less the same power, but you get about 60-70% of the fuel economy.
