Looking for ways to improve the fuel economy of a sport utility vehicle (SUV)? Many SUV owners love their vehicle for its spacious interior, sleek design, and raw engine power. Unfortunately, the SUV has a very low MPG compared to other cars on the road. With rising gas prices, SUV owners are faced with an inflated gas bill. Many people are desperately looking for ways to cut fuel costs. One solution to reduce the gasoline consumption of SUVs is to supplement the engine with hydrogen gas (H2). How does the concept work? This article will reveal the secret of using H2 in SUV to improve fuel consumption.
Hydrogen gas is the most abundant element that exists. It is clean, efficient, and has a very fast burn rate. These properties make H2 a perfect energy source for a car’s internal combustion engine. An engine cannot yet run on pure hydrogen gas. However, an engine can use gasoline and H2 at the same time. In essence, the engine can be converted into a hydrogen hybrid power plant. The H2 required for an SUV can be generated from water with an electrolysis device. This is possible because water is made of 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, hence its name H2O. To improve the fuel economy of an SUV, the H2 must be diverted to the engine’s air intake system. SUV owners using a hydrogen hybrid engine will experience increased fuel consumption from their vehicle.
Most people are unsure how to convert a conventional engine to burn hydrogen gas. The conversion process is quite simple and anyone with some mechanical knowledge will be able to do it. Most of the parts needed for the modification can be purchased at a hardware store. What you will need is a step-by-step instructional blueprint. Most of the conversion guide can be purchased online.
