A scientific point about hydrogen: |
Hydrogen gas is highly flammable and will burn in air at a very wide range of concentrations between 4% and 75% by volume.
Below 4% it will not ignite.
|
Heres some automotive math to show just how much HHO they are using if their system puts out 2 lpm: How much air? Volumetric efficiency can tell us that: Since each cylinder has one intake stroke every two revolutions of the crankshaft, then the theoretical maximum volume of air it can ingest during each rotation of the crankshaft is equal to one-half its displacement.
|
The actual amount of air the engine ingests compared to the theoretical maximum is called volumetric efficiency (VE). An engine operating at 100% VE is ingesting its total displacement every two crankshaft revolutions. 100% VE AIRFLOW (scfm) = DISPLACEMENT (ci) x RPM / 3456 |
|
1 liter of HHO is actually equivalent to the energy content of 0.011 of a tablespoon of gasoline - an amount negligible from an energy point of view. |
At 2 liters per minute it would take193.9 hours
to make the equivalent to 1 gallon of gasoline. At 6 liters per minute it would take 64.6 hours |
