A good place to start the inquiry is by asking how much of the gasoline which goes into the cylinders in your car exits unburnt. This arguably represents the maximum gain you can make by simply improving combustion. It is a very small number in modern, fuel injected cars. If you discount

Well that is what they are working on, as stated the concept has been around for decades but the problem has been the cost of materials to build it. Plus what do you think would happen if the manufactures put more rare metals into a car? Anyway it is an fascinating technology but I guess the

Oh, and on aircraft, they used turbocompounding, where the turbo drove the crankshaft as well (actually, the production engines from Wright used a suprecharger, but Napier did make the Nomad that did both -- long story, never installed in production aircraft). Wright got any extra 1500 hp

I've been looking at that and thinking about it for a while. I can't see it either. On the other hand I can see that it might be possible that a small amount of Brown's gas (hydrogen and the oxygen that it was split from) burned in conjunction with gasoline or diesel may possibly improve the

Hydrogen is just a gaseous battery, for transferring energy from one place to another. There are only two sources -- from methane, with the CO2 dumped when the hydrogen is extracted, or from electrical power. If this is solar power, in particular photo-voltaic, well that's not so bad, but
