Abstract
An energy system comprises a solid polyelectrolyte film in the water bath, and a source of electric current connected to the film, for generating hydrogen. The hydrogen is mixed with gasoline in an amount, dependent upon the size of load on the engine, the thinness of the mixed gas, the size of the mixing ration, and the ignition time, to obtain the minimum time for the best torque (MBT).
Claims8
In an energy system for an engine including means for feeding gasoline to the engine, the improvement comprising a source of hydrogen, means for mixing hydrogen with said gasoline for said engine, and a hydrogen controller for controlling the amount of hydrogen applied to said controller for being mixed with said gasoline, said source of hydrogen comprising a hydrogen buffer connected to supply hydrogen directly to said hydrogen controller, and a hydrogen generator connected to supply hydrogen directly to said hydrogen buffer during operation of said engine, said hydrogen controller comprising means for applying hydrogen to said gasoline at a rate independent of the rate of application of said gasoline to said mixing means, to obtain the minimum advance for the best torque.
An energy system comprising means for generating hydrogen, means for providing fuel for an engine, mixing means, adjusting means connected to direct hydrogen from said generating means to said mixing means, means for directing said fuel to said mixing means, said mixing means mixing said hydrogen with said fuel to provide a mixed gas for application to the engine, said adjusting means comprising means for adjusting the volume of the hydrogen applied to said mixing means as a function of the load on the engine, independently of said means for providing fuel for said engine, said means for adjusting said volume of hydrogen comprising an operator controllable accelerator directly coupled to control said volume of hydrogen independently of any direct control over the flow of said fuel to said engine.
In an energy system for an engine including means for feeding gasoline to the engine, the improvement comprising a source of hydrogen, means for mixing hydrogen with said gasoline for said engine, and a hydrogen controller for controlling the amount of hydrogen mixed with said gasoline, said source of hydrogen comprising a hydrogen buffer connected to supply hydrogen directly to said hydrogen controller, and a hydrogen generator connected to supply hydrogen directly to said hydrogen buffer during operation of said engine, said hydrogen controller comprising means for applying hydrogen to said gasoline at a rate to obtain the minimum advance for the best torque, said hydrogen controller being connected to control said amount of hydrogen independently of control of gasoline to said engine, said hydrogen controller further comprising an operator controllable accelerator.
An energy system comprising means for generating hydrogen, means for providing fuel for an engine, mixing means, adjusting means connected to direct hydrogen from said generating means to said mixing means, means for directing said fuel to said mixing means, said mixing means mixing said hydrogen with said fuel to provide a mixed gas for application to the engine, said adjusting means comprising means for adjusting the rate of flow of the hydrogen applied to said mixing means as a function of the MBT ignition timing independently of said means for providing fuel for said engine.
