Amazing Diesel Test Results Average 15%
Improvement with Hydrogen Gas
The hydrogen/oxygen generator was first developed in 1918 by Charles
Frazer. Hydrogen boost systems help improve combustion
characteristics of petroleum based fuel sources. The gases created act
as a catalyst to the fuel, creating better propagation, and more
complete combustion. They also are said to reduce hydrocarbons in
the exhaust, reducing emissions.
Problems and Difficulties:
Early on in the project, problems arose and were overcome. As part of
the original plan, an International Powerstroke 6.0L turbo-diesel engine
was to be used. Shortly after delivery, it was revealed that the
dynamometer housed in the ABE building was too small to absorb the
amount of power, or handle the operating speeds of the engine. Once
discovered, it was decided to utilize the John Deere engine that was
currently set up for dynamometer operation. This setback actually
shortened installation time, as the engine was already attached to the
dynamometer.
Another crucial problem came about when the existing fuel
consumption meters malfunctioned. New meters were purchased,
installed and calibrated for the fuel types to be used.
Upon receiving the vegetable oil fuel system from GreaseCar.com, it
was realized that vegetable oil fuel should not pass through the original
diesel fuel filter. To solve this problem, a series of fuel filters was
installed in the shape of a parallel electric circuit, along with fuel
shutoff valves to ensure proper isolation of the different fuel sources.
This also prevented cross-contamination between fuels, which could
have possibly altered the outcome of the tests.
Fran’s Comments:
The raw data from the report was much more valuable than the brief
analysis by the students who published their report. For example the
increase in torque or decrease in fuel used at an arbitrary rpm and
throttle setting is quite meaningless. Their report of fuel consumption
at 1100 RPM and maximum torque achieved is one point on a chart of
over one hundred points. If we were to cherry pick one point that
highlights the best Hydrogen Boost performance we could show a 61.4%
improvement with petroleum diesel and a 57.5% improvement with
vegetable oil, by the use of our hydrogen generator alone. These
points are as meaningless as the arbitrary point chosen by the
students. Only the cumulative improvement across the whole range of
operating conditions gives us a good picture of the effect of Hydrogen
Boost on the diesel combustion. The average of the three
improvements we calculated above is an impressive 15%.
Or if we wanted to analyze the affects of Hydrogen Boost at the most
frequent engine operating condition likely during our expected
operation we should look at the following. According to our diesel
tractor trailer customer who is doing extensive testing with Hydrogen
Boost the most frequent operating condition of the engine on the road
is at 1300 to 1400 RPM at heavy throttle. If we take the results reported
for 100% throttle at 1300 RPM with petroleum diesel fuel we see a 31.6%
increase in work done per gallon of diesel fuel used. If this result
proved to be the same on the big diesel engines in our tractor trailer
fleet we would expect over 30% mileage increase with the addition of
the Hydrogen Boost hydrogen generator alone. Though I do not expect
this kind of increase with Hydrogen Boost on tractor trailers I am quite
confident that there is much more to this technology than I had
previously expected.
These calculations are real comparisons in that they are not comparing
fuel consumption at a single throttle setting (giving different torque in
each test) but instead are comparing the amount of work done by the
set amount of fuel; which could be assumed to be somewhat equivalent
to our normal reporting of miles per gallon.
For those skeptics that doubt these results I want to assure you that
the power to produce the hydrogen came from the alternator of the
engine being tested. I must say that I am very impressed because I
have only expected maybe a 5% improvement with the Hydrogen
Generator alone. Just think what the complete Hydrogen Boost system
might achieve.
Also please note that the vegetable oil test proved the ability of
vegetable oil to produce more torque at a lower fuel consumption rate
than petroleum diesel fuel. What makes this even more noteworthy is
that the energy content by weight of the vegetable oil is actually 11%
less than petroleum diesel fuel (see table below). Note that the
vegetable oil was heated to engine coolant temperature before
injection. I am certain that if our fuel heater was used on the petroleum
diesel and bio-diesel tests it would have shown even more of an
improvement.

Over the last couple months I have been in contact with a couple students and
their professor at Purdue University who wanted to do a senior project testing
Hydrogen Boost on a diesel engine with an engine dynamometer. The test used
three types of fuel, petroleum diesel, bio-diesel, and vegetable oil. I would like
to give the students’ and professor’s names but have not asked them for
permission so I will hold that in confidence unless they contact me with
permission. I will publish a few pictures in this article however.
The students were furnished with a Diesel small vehicle Hydrogen Boost system
but could not use the engine treatment without permanently altering the engine
(the treatment is a permanent engine treatment) so they did not test that part of
the system. The fuel heater was not used either because of concern about the
lubrication of the internal parts of the mechanical injection pump. So the only
part of our system that was tested was the hydrogen generator, which produces
Brown’s gas. I asked for not only the final report, which was impressive in itself,
but I asked for and received the raw test data so I could analyze it and produce
my own report.
Analysis:
For the petroleum diesel fueled tests I took data from the spreadsheets
provided, and divided the horsepower produced at each engine setting with the
fuel consumption at that setting. This gives us an amount of work done per
gallon of fuel used, in units of hp/gal/hr or hp x hr/gal. I then added up all the
calculations for each throttle setting and rpm setting of the entire test and
compared the final totals to get the following:
Without Hydrogen boost the total was 254.14 and with Hydrogen Boost the total
was 288.49 for an increase in work accomplished of 13.52%.
For the vegetable oil fueled tests the data was in a different format. There were
two sets of data given. One was torque (lb-ft) for varying SFC (lb/hph) values.
And the other was torque (lb-ft) for each rpm at throttle settings of 100%, 75%,
50%, and 25%. On each set of data more torque meant better efficiency or
performance. The total of the data point was added and compared with the
following results.
Torque for varying SFC settings totaled 13,839 without Hydrogen Boost and
16,272 with Hydrogen Boost for an increase of 18.36%.
Torque for each rpm at the various throttle settings totaled 4065.5 without
Hydrogen Boost and 4579.4 with Hydrogen Boost for an increase of 12.64%.
This does not take into account the savings in fuel.
Comparing the charts for the vegetable oil tests with and without Hydrogen
Boost, you will notice an even better improvement with Hydrogen Boost than the
petroleum diesel tests. Also comparing the charts for the bio-diesel tests with
and without Hydrogen Boost, you will notice an even better improvement than
with either of the other two fuels.
Reported results in the Purdue University study included the following:
Fuel Consumption (measured at max torque)
On Road Diesel:
0.072 gal/hp-hr @ 1100 rpm
On Road Diesel w/Hydrogen:

Vegetable Oil w/Hydrogen:
0.060 gal/hp-hr @ 1100 rpm
Fuel Efficiency increase/decrease (compared to on road petroleum diesel)
On Road Diesel w/Hydrogen:
9.72%
Vegetable Oil:
11.11%
Vegetable Oil w/Hydrogen:
16.67%
Following is from the Purdue University students’ Report:
Abstract:
Dynamometer tests have been performed on a 4.5L John Deere diesel engine
to obtain torque, horsepower, and specific fuel consumption by testing the fuels
individually and also using hydrogen assist with each. The data was compiled
into total performance maps. Fuels tested include on road diesel, bio-diesel
(B20) and vegetable oil (canola oil).
Objective:
The objective was to perform dynamometer tests on a 4.5L JD diesel engine to
obtain total performance maps from the following data. The total performance
maps provided information on whether the vegetable oil or the hydrogen boost
system help in reducing fuel consumption.
Overall, six dynamometer tests were run with different fuel combinations in order
to determine the performance analysis of the two systems. Three fuel types
were used, including on road diesel, B20 bio-diesel blend, and canola oil. With
each of these three fuels, tests were executed both with and without hydrogen
assist. Each test was compared to the 100% petroleum diesel, which was the
baseline control test. In order to maintain consistency and an unbiased
evaluation, all tests were performed on the same John Deere engine, using the
same dynamometer, under the same procedure.
Before any dynamometer tests were run, each fuel type’s energy content was
calculated by way of heat of combustion assessments. An adiabatic bomb
calorimeter was used for these processes. By calculating the energy content
(observed in calories per gram of fuel) of each fuel, a theoretical analysis could
aid in prediction of each fuel’s relative power output.
Two systems were supplied for these tests. One system was a vegetable fuel
system contributed by GreaseCar.com. This system was a complete secondary
fuel system designed to be integrated into the existing fuel system. The
principle behind this system was to use waste vegetable oil gathered from
places such as restaurant deep fryers. Even though the kit was designed to
use waste vegetable oil, new Crystal Cottonseed/Canola oil blend. Using new oil
ensured consistency during testing.
The second system was a Hydrogen assist unit contributed by Hydrogen-boost.
com. Through the process of hydrolysis, the system separated water into
hydrogen and oxygen. The separated gases were then directed into the airflow
prior to the air cleaner.
The use of vegetable oil as a fuel source has been around for over 100 years.
The first documented use was demonstrated by Otto at the 1900 World’s fair,
using peanut oil. Also, Rudolf Diesel’s invention was originally intended to
operate on peanut oil, but it was discovered that the diesel engine could run on
cheaper petroleum oil.
