This is highly similar to the 1935 Dallasite, 'Dad' Garrett and his Hydrolytic
|
|
Carburetor, all detailed in the file GARRETT1.ZIP as researched by and listed
|
|
on KeelyNet. The vehicle was driven around White Rock Lake using 1 gallon of
|
|
water from the lake. It was later driven all over Dallas with no problems or
|
|
engine damage to the 4 cylinder engine.

Hydrogen in internal combustion engines
|
|
|
|
This is a translation of an article that appeared in the magazine "IMPLOSION"
|
|
in german language, in 1983. The title of the article is
|
|
|
|
WATER - FUEL OF THE FUTURE?
|
|
|
|
and I would like to make this information available as it describes one of the
|
|
simplest methods of separating water into hydrogen and oxygen for use as fuel
|
|
in an internal combustion engine, with an expenditure of electrical energy
|
|
much inferior to the energy content of the hydrogen gas obtained.
|
|
|
|
Here is the text of the article:
|
|
|
|
Almost all drivers have made the experience that the motor runs better when it
|
|
rains. This is also a reason why our parents sprayed coal with water to make
|
|
it burn better. Therefore it is no wonder that for years some drivers have
|
|
used a kind of water spray injector, which is very simple.
|
|
|
|
It is a container of plastic or glass, which can be closed airtight. A thin
|
|
pipe with an acquarium valve leads through the top cover down close to the
|
|
bottom of the container.
|
|
|
|
A second pipe enters only about 5 cm into the container from the top cover and
|
|
is connected with the carburetor or the air filter. The container is filled
|
|
with water to just below the level of the second pipe.
|
|
|
|
The suction of the carburetor pulls air through the water in the container and
|
|
so adds hydrogen and oxygen to the gas mixture, which results in a lowered
|
|
consumption of gasoline.
|
|
|
|
This simple mechanism was improved by the New Zealand inventor Archie Blue
|
|
with some additions so that the water vapor alone can run an internal
|
|
combustion engine, without gasoline. It runs about 40 km with 1 liter of
|
|
water.
|
|
|
|
His American patent (number 4,124,463) is so simple that anyone with
|
|
mechanical skills can produce it. On the non-metallic air pipe that enters the
|
|
container, are mounted at equidistant intervals eight corrosion free round
|
|
metallic plates, which have been perforated with numerous holes. They are
|
|
electrified alternately with positive and negative DC voltage from the car
|
|
battery (12 Volt, 2-3 Amp).
|
|
|
|
The resulting electrolysis separates the water into oxygen and hydrogen which
|
|
attach to the metal plates in small bubbles. The air bubbles forced through
|
|
the water by the suction of the carburetor take those small bubbles of
|
|
hydrogen and oxygen with them to the top of the container.
|
|
|
|
The energy thus obtained is three times that of gasoline per weight. No
|
|
poisonous exhaust gases are produced because the end product of combustion is
|
|
water vapor.
|
|
|
|
The air needs only 4 % of enrichment with these gases to burn hotter and
|
|
faster than natural gas.
|
|
|
|
Warm water is easier to electrolyse and therefore a heating element is mounted
|
|
in the bottom of the container.

Note: I have not been able so far to obtain the original patent referred to in
|
|
the article, but would be interested in a copy if someone happens to get one.
