Fuel Enhancement In a Power Facility and Internal Combustion Engine

The introduction of a substantial quantity of hydrogen and oxygen gases, into the intake system of a power facility, will increase the oxygen content available for combustion. This establishes a lean condition, which will increase combustion efficiency. A perfectly stoichiometric mixture cannot achieve complete combustion because there are so many molecules, and atoms in the mix, and for each and every structure to undergo 100% combustion does not make practical sense. Therefore to ensure that an increasing amount of carbon fuel combusts completely, the additional of substantially excess oxygen is required.In addition to hydrogen and oxygen injection, blowers can be added, like a super charger, to force more oxygen into the reaction chamber. The hydrogen will react with the oxygen forming water; the water will then absorb heat and expand into vapor. With water vapor being in the reaction chamber, heat energy will be transferred to the boiler by the direct contact of superheated water molecules, in addition to the thermal energy contained in the atmosphere. Water vapor is more dense than atmosphere, especially considering is superheated state, therefore the water vapor will transfer energy more effectively to the boiler, compared to the atmosphere alone.It is also theorized that hydrogen allotropes, associated with Brown’s Gas, will act catalytically with the carbon fuel, successfully reducing the activation energy associated with carbon fuel combustion propagation. This will result in an overall increase in the combustion efficiency of the carbon fuel, releasing more energy, and allowing byproduct pollution to form more stable molecular structures. Typically carbon monoxide would exist in exhaust gas, and it has been observed that with the addition of Brown’s Gas, the vast majority of the carbon monoxide will combust completely into carbon dioxide :) Power facilities are external combustion systems, and internal combustion system benefit from an additional effect of Brown’s Gas injection. In internal combustion engines, the hydrogen and oxygen will combust into water, then absorb heat energy, and expand into water vapor. The expansion of water into vapor will capture typically wasted heat energy, and convert it into an expansion force. This results in an increase in the overall engine efficiency ;)

Internal and External Combustion Enhancement

I still contemplate the potential integration of three main components in a Power Facility. First it depends on the facility, of which internal versus external combustion requires different consideration:Internal Combustion – Electronic Fuel InjectectionTo install a Hydrogen Based Fuel Enhancement System, all thats required is custom tuning of the fuel maps, maintenance consideration of above level hydrogen and oxygen concentrations within engine components, the installation of an electrolytic cell, and all associated wiring and static restraints.External CombustionExternal combustion systems, such as boilers, can achieve the same results with use of high PSI air compressors. Essentially what is required is the substantial increase in oxygen content available to the carbon fuel combustion process. That would establish a lean condition where the extra oxygen would facilitate the extremely rapid oxidation of the carbon fuel, successfully releasing energy more efficiently. To accommodate the increase in combustion temperature water and Brown’s Gas are added. The water turns to steam as it absorbs excess heat energy, the Brown’s Gas combusts into water contributing additional energy to the process, and the resulting water, from the Brown’s Gas combustion, absorbs more excess heat energy as it turn from liquid to steam.What Brown’s Gas Does as a Fuel Enhancer?Brown’s Gas facilitates the complete combustion of carbon monoxide (CO) into carbon dioxide (CO2). This combustion releases energy thus contributes positively to overall efficiency. In internal combustion engines, Brown’s Gas combusts into water, which absorbs typically wasted heat energy resulting in a conversion of liquid water in steam; the water into steam process results in an expansion force, thus conserving, and utilizing, otherwise discarded heat. It is theorized that the Brown’s Gas may catalytically reduce the activation energy of carbon fuel combustion propagation; subsequent investigation is required to solidify the concept.So I have introduce two components/ technologies: water injection, and Brown’s Gas injection. The third is fuel vaporization. In fuel injected internal combustion engines, the fuel is sprayed as an extremely fine mist. The finer the mist, the more surface area available, hence an increasing rate of vaporization. Since the vapors are the flammable portion of liquid carbon fuels, it is increasingly conservative to ensure the maximum degree of vaporization before injection into the cylinders. This can be achieved in many ways, and there is a lot of wasted heat energy available in the exhaust heat.The combination of three components, water injection, Brown’s Gas injection, and fuel vaporization results in the ability to have substantially lean air fuel mixtures. All effects are accounted for; the temperature is mitigated by both the water and the Brown’s Gas, there is a direct effect on the quantity of pollution produced, and a substantial reduction on the net quantity of carbon fuel required for normal engine operation.In the modern world every drop of energy must be extract to specifically minimize waste. Efficiency is the idea that will propel the future of the energy industry :)
