What is Hydrogen Injection ?

For purpose of this discussion:

It refers to INJECTING Hydrogen into the
combustion process of an Internal Combustion
Engine
Technically:
We are referring to injecting the product of
splitting water into it’s base elements – Hydrogen
& Oxygen (H2O)
So:
We should be calling it “Hydroxy”, “Brown’s Gas”,
“HHO”, or 1 of several other names !
Why would we want to do that ?

Hydrogen has long been known to be a good fuel for

an Internal Combustion Engine (I.C.E.) NASA
produced a report back in the ’70’s documenting the
virtues.

• The only byproduct is WATER and that could be

recycled in a closed loop system ! NO EMISSIONS !

2. Hydrogen burns with a Flame Front of 3400 Ft/Sec

(many times faster than gasoline) greatly reducing
the need for timing advance, so most of the energy
is transferred to the power stroke
But why mix it with gasoline or Diesel ?

It actually brings the previously mentioned

virtues to the process resulting in:
1. Reduced Emissions
2. Cleaner Engine
3. Retarded (i.e. closer to TDC) Timing
But wait, there is MORE !

Hydrogen is actually the fuel in the “hydro”

carbon combustion reaction when gasoline or
Diesel fuel is burned.
Petroleum based fuels consist of Hydrogen and
Carbon molecules varying in complexity, known
as “chains”. The more complex the chain, the
later in the Combustion process it burns.
By introducing extra Hydrogen atoms to the
mix Carbon Atoms will combine with them
creating “shorter Chains” releasing more
energy from the fuel = EFFICIENCY
How can you break WATER into
Hydrogen and Oxygen ?

The most common method is ELECTROLYSIS

(not hair removal)
Electrolysis is the process of separating
chemically bonded elements and compounds by
passing an electric current through them

Surprisingly, pure water is not a good conductor,

so an ELECTROLYTE such as Potassium
Hydoxide (KOH), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) must
be added to the water
First we create an electrical potential by
submerging
This conductive
causes electrons Electrodes
to flow in the

WATER MOLECULE
This causes the Hydrogen Atoms to have an extra
Electron in their Valence Ring (Ion) so the Oxygen
Atom can no longer hold them so they attach
themselves to the Neg Electrode in order to dissipate
the extra Electron

Now the Hydrogen Atoms will detach themselves
from the Neg Electrode but a single H atom is
Now the H2 Molecule will bubble to the top of the

To Recap:
H2 Plus O2 Plus Ignition Yields FIRE & WATER
