Here’s an interesting report from Rick Fleck…
I witnessed something very interesting here in the Dominican Republic. One of our employees in the office, Noel Williams, has been experimenting with the use of hydrogen as a fuel for vehicles. He got information off the Internet and from a friend at the university and has successfully implemented the use of hydrogen as a supplement to fuel. He installed this in a small gasoline powered car, and the result so far is that the car used half the fuel as before.
They called me to witness an experiment they conducted with our diesel electric generator power plant for the campus. As you might know, hydrogen gas can easily be produced from water by the process of electrolysis when an electric current is passed through water. What he did was to make a container with six-inch PVC pipe about 10 inches high. Into this he rigged up a system of metal plates similar to what you might see in a car battery with two wires coming out the top. The positive and negative plates are in close proximity to each other but don’t actually touch. The wires are then connected to a car battery. When the electrical current reaches those plates, some of the current passes through the water and produces the electrolysis effect which separates the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and the gas rises to the surface. He has a plastic tube coming out the lid which goes to the carburetor of the engine. This combination of hydrogen and oxygen gas combines with the diesel fuel in the carburetor and the mixture is used as fuel. He actually made two of these small hydrogen-producing containers and combined them into one tube.
They ran the engine for 20 minutes and verified that it consumed only half the diesel that it would normally consume. He also cut off completely the supply of diesel to the engine, and it ran for 11 minutes. He believes it will run indefinitely on the hydrogen given adequate supply of hydrogen. He merely needs a larger plate system in a larger container to produce more.
The gas mixture combines in the combustion chamber of the engine, actually combining back into water, thus the exhaust contains water vapor.
The implications of this are fantastic. We might possibly be able to produce electricity for our campus practically free of cost. We’ll see how this experiment progresses. He also plans to implement this for fueling the tractor.
