Fuel Enhancement In a Power Facility and Internal Combustion Engine
Aug 27th
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
Hydrogen Fuel Analysis
Jul 27th
In chemistry, oxygen does not contribute energy to chemical reactions, and its main role is the facilitation of combustion. Considering this, Oxy-Hydrogen, Brown’s Gas, and Pure Hydrogen all have the exact same energy content on a mole per mole basis. Given the 1’st and 2′nd laws of electrolysis, energy in is always greater than energy out, why use one Hydrogen Fuel over another?
Pure Hydrogen
The beauty of pure hydrogen is that it can be substantially pressurized to over ten thousand [10,000] psi, which makes it a suitable fuel for tanking, storage, and distribution. Carbon nano-tube based materials, and potentially high strength alloys, appear to be the future of tanking.
Oxy-Hydrogen
Oxy-Hydrogen can be produced from tanked hydrogen and oxygen gases for torch application. Doing so will allow for the maximum potential of efficient energy recovery from the hydrogen. The more accurate the 2:1 ratio of hydrogen versus oxygen respectively, the more efficient the combustion of the hydrogen and oxygen into water and energy.
Brown’s Gas
Brown’s Gas can only be produced in a common ducted electrolyzer. The most efficient common ducted electrolyzer design is series cell parallel plate. By not separating the product hydrogen and oxygen gases efficiency is improved; when hydrogen is in the presence of oxygen, immediately after electrolytic production, the formation of diatomic hydrogen and oxygen formation is accompanied by subsequent structures of increased energy content. This accounts for the increasingly efficient electrolytic reaction observed in series cell common ducted electrolyzers.
