I've been messing with some numbers in making a HECE (Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion Engine) for gasoline/diesel engines. I want to make on the fly %75 normal-pressure gaseous hydrogen. The numbers look good, but I could have overlooked something. Please verify my results.
Thanx-
--------------------------------
All numbers by non-pressurized volume, Assuming 20mpg of gasoline, V6 @ 2000 rpm (33.34 rps) going 60mph
Where I got my energy density numbers for gasoline and hydrogen -
http://www.eoearth.org/article/Hydrogen_storage
- cc = 1 liter
- gallon of gasoline = 3.785liters or 3785cc
- liter of gasoline = 32MJoules = 5 miles/minutes traveled = .003 liters/sec = 3cc/used per sec
- liter of hydrogen = 8MJoules = 1.25 miles/minutes traveled = .013 liters/sec = 13cc/used per sec
--------------------------------
So according to this, I need to produce 13cc's of gaseous non-pressurized hydrogen per second to replace what I would normally use for gasoline. Are these figures correct or am I missing something, thanx-

he said hydrogen and it is not an actual working project
