FAQ

How does a small amount of hydrogen provide 20–25% fuel savings?

The fuel savings do not come from theamount of hydrogen, but from the way hydrogenchanges and improves the combustion process.

The key technical advantage of hydrogen is this:

Hydrogen can ignite and burn efficiently over amuch wider flammability range compared to other fuels.

To understand this clearly, compare the flammability limits of different fuels:

Flammability Range Comparison (by Volume in Air)

What does this mean?

Hydrogen:

✔ Can burn even in very lean mixtures
✔ Has a flame speed 8–10 times faster than gasoline
✔ Requires extremely low ignition energy
✔ Completes combustion efficiently
✔ Eliminates incomplete burning

Because of these properties,even a very small amount of hydrogen has a major influence on the combustion process.

????What Happens Inside the Engine?

Normally in internal combustion engines:

• A portion of the fuel burns late

• Some of it does not burn at all

• This results in energy loss

Hydrogen changes this:

• Combustion becomes faster

• Combustion duration becomes shorter

• The fuel burns more completely

As a result:

➤ The engine requiresless fuel to produce the same power
➤ Fuel savings reach20–25%

In other words, the savings come fromhigher combustion efficiency, not from hydrogen’s own energy content.

????Additional Note: Why HHO does not disrupt the air–fuel mixture (AFR)?

• Engine air intake:5,000–8,000 L/min

• HHO flow rate:100–300 mL/min

Contribution of HHO to the mixture:

➡0.003% – 0.005%

This level is far too low to:

• Affect AFR

• Increase combustion temperature

• Place load on the engine

Conclusion

A small amount of hydrogen:

• Speeds up the combustion

• Eliminates incomplete burning

• Enables the engine to do the same work with less fuel

Hydrogen’swide flammability range is the main reason why even minimal amounts produce significant fuel savings.
