The ratio of hydroxy mixture to that of the fuel mixture is so low those
problems are only cited.
The hydroxy booster extracts oxygen and hydrogen gasses from distilled water in
a stainless steel container installed in the vehicle. The unit uses a little of
the vehicles excess energy (in the form of electricity from the alternator,
which isn't actually excess energy) to produce just the right amount of
hydrogen catalyst to blend with the existing fuel source, enhancing the
combustion of fuel. The benefit of hydroxy injection is that because hydroxy
has a higher flash point then petrol its self igniting temperature is around
550 degrees Celsius. Petrol ignites from 280 degrees onward, depending on the
grade of fuel. This causes a complete burn of all the fuel in the combustion
chamber. So therefore there is minimal pollution out of the exhaust. [And
logically an increased efficiency of power output,
translating to more miles/gal] (Luckily in this case I am in a Ohio County that
requires emmission testing so these claims can be verified when our first
prototype is installed in a vehicle. There are stories of people having hydroxy
units that produced emmission standards so low that the testing unit indicates
malfunction. Incredibly Bob Boyce at least (who has more or less pioneered the
hydroxy engine concept) says that they asked him to disconnect the unit so that
they could obtain a test result that falls within the parameters of their test
equipment. This can become a protest issue, say for example they wish to do
that for my case, if I refuse to take the test under their conditions, this can
become an issue of great publicity)
It has been known for some time (since a 1974 paper by the Jet Propulsion
Lab of the California Institute of Technology) that the addition of hydrogen in
fossil fuels, burned in internal combustion engines will increase the
efficiency of that engine. This study has been validated by a number of papers
published by the Society of Automotive Engineers, (SAE). The hydroxy boost
process is effective with any fossil fuel
(diesel, gasoline, propane, natural gas) or bio-fuel (ethanol) though it is
most effective in diesel engines. The presence of hydrogen alters the initial
stages of the unfolding combustion dynamic, altering the kinetic chemical
pathway which the combustion follows. The net effect is to alter the time at
which heat energy is released relative to the power cycle. The end result is
to increase the adiabatic efficiency of the engine, which in turn means
decreased fuel consumption, decreased emissions, improved horsepower and
torque, and decreased maintenance expenditures. (From Panacea Inst.)
