| I just think the main problem you're going to have is that it's not going to be possible to generate enough hydrogen to power the car as it's going along.
The rate of electrolysis is determined by the current being passed through it. You need to be able to generate massive current in order to ever have a hope of generating enough hydrogen. You're not going to be able to do that off the vehicle's alternator. Plus you have to bear in mind that, at best, you're setup is going to be maybe 50-60% efficient.
I'm not saying the project is without merit. I just think you're treading a patch which is already well worn. If you want to know if it's possible to run a conventional petrol engine on hydrogen then the answer is yes, absolutely. With a few modifications. Plenty of car manufacturers already have these on the market at least for leasing. But these cars all have a fuel tank filled with liquid hydrogen which is generated through other means. |
