Re: How many want to try a Hydrogen converter on their Tundras?
I have read about this in many places over the web. I still don't know what to think of these systems. I used to dismiss the idea completely, although lately I have learned a bit more and am a little more open to the idea. There are many systems on the web that are not worth their weight in scrap, however if done right I believe there may be merit to this.
While the statement that energy cannot be created, merely transferred from one state to another is true, as well as the fact, that we have not yet figured out how to reap 100% efficiency in any process that transfers energy from one form to another (example heat to electrical energy).
Those of you who claim that it won't work due to the alternator putting additional stress on the engine and there by negating any gains that may be seen from the additional hydrogen that enters the combustion chamber are over looking one thing.
If the introduction of the hydrogen (and additional oxygen) makes the combustion of the existing gasoline/air mixture more efficient then in principle this can work. In this case the additional energy output comes form the more efficient burn and not purely from the hydrogen system.
As I said before, I'm still skeptical. Why haven't the major auto manufactures incorporated this as it would be cheap and increase demand for their product.
I would love to hear feedback from some one that is using one of these systems. It seems like the feedback is always from someone who knows someone.
