Supercharger Modeling of Automotive Fuel Enhancement Systems
Fuel enhancement systems, that utilize
electrolysis technology, are analagous to
supercharger systems in that both systems consume
energy parasitically. Some of the energy output of
the
IC engine is used to effect the input into the IC engine.
The system is a type of positive feedback.
Hydrogen reformers can be used to generate hydrogen from the vehicle hydrocarbon fuel. This method reduces
the amount of energy consumed from the output of the engine. This is specifically as compared to
use of an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen, in which there is a substantial parasitic energy drain.
Because of this it is much more efficient to use hydrogen reformer technology as compared to an electrolyzer for
purposes of fuel enhancement.
