     If getting maximum fuel economy is important to you, there are many ways to improve the efficiency of diesel and gasoline engines. Some work better than others, some don't seem to work at all. One of the most proven, effective and popular options today is supplemental hydrogen injection.

     It is common knowledge that it requires more energy to split a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen than the energy obtained by burning them together. Because of this, many people are quick to discount the idea of supplemental hydrogen injection before they understand how it works. The objective is not to use hydrogen as a fuel, but to enhance the combustion properties of the fuel mixture. A new car straight from the factory is not burning all of it's fuel. Unburned fuel goes out the tailpipe and builds up inside the engine as carbon deposits.

     The increase in efficiency with supplemental hydrogen injection comes from a more even flamespread, a higher velocity of flame propagation and the higher ignition temperature of hydrogen. One of the first articles on the subject appeared in Wired magazine in 2005 when Great Plains Trucking of Salina, Kansas began equiping their fleet with hydrogen injection systems. Since that time there has been a lot of research and experimentation that has produced better systems with greater efficiency. Take a look at the article.
