Abstract
A hydrogen generator for use with an inner combustion engine or other apparatus, even of a movable type, such as a home gas kitchen, said hydrogen generator comprises a system for separating hydrogen from ammonia, said system comprising a NH3 tank, an ammonia sucking pump, and a cracking oven containing a catalyst, an electric resistance and a H2/N2 separating centrifuge and including a suction device comprising a filter followed by a bottle for providing a feeding volume necessary for the produced hydrogen to compensate for user system requirement variations.

A hydrogen generator for use with an inner combustion engine or other apparatus, even of a movable type, such as a home gas kitchen, characterized in that said hydrogen generator comprises a system for separating hydrogen from ammonia, said system comprising a NH3 tank (a′), an ammonia sucking pump (a″), and a cracking oven (a) containing a catalyst (b), an electric resistance (c) and a H2/N2 separating centrifuge (d) and including a suction device (d′) comprising a filter (e) followed by a bottle (f) for providing a feeding volume necessary for the produced hydrogen to compensate for system requirement variations.
A hydrogen-fed single-cylinder or multiple-cylinder inner combustion engine operating by conventional suction and exhausting engine strokes, characterized in that said inner combustion engine comprises a compression stroke divided into three parts, in the first of which a comburent substance, for example air or oxygen, is introduced, in the second of which hydrogen and atomized water as a thermal moderating agent are introduced, and in the third of which is performed, with an advance with respect to an engine top dead center, an ignition of the fuel mixture, and then an expansion of the vapor charge produced by the combustion being started and finally a vapor exhausting into a vapor recovering vessel being performed.
