Doing some numbers with Hydrogen production...

[CinciJoe]

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

1000. cc = 1 liter
      
1. gallon of gasoline = 3.785liters or 3785cc
   
1. liter of gasoline  = 32MJoules  = 5 miles/minutes traveled    = .003 liters/sec = 3cc/used per sec
   
1. 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-

Joe-

he said hydrogen and it is not an actual working project
