Hydrogen Powered Lawn Mower

Clip was taken in August of 2006. Pressurized hydrogen tank delivers H2 gas directly behind the intake valve. Carb and gasoline tank is removed. Very low cost conversion and very simple. Come over to www.american-renewable-energies.com to find the sources on how to convert to green hydrogen

If you are injecting hydrogen directly to the intake valve, how are you admitting and regulating O2?

[h2mowerguy]

O2 comes with the air which I do not regulate. Let the engine have all the air it can take.

hey how does it not ruin your engine? when hydrogen burns with air it turns into water and water is really bad for engines. sooooooo hmmm

[h2mowerguy]

as H2 burns in excess air gaseous water (4000 deg F steam) is formed with the excess air primarily N2 and is pushed out during the exhaust stroke as exhaust gases. Avoiding liquid water contact with the cylinder & piston and thus avoiding water from ruining the engine

Did you have to change the spark timing?

[h2mowerguy]

I changed it a number of times to see which worked best. Due to the waste spark set up on this motor, I ended up back at the gasoline factory setting. After partial tear down of this engine found the exhaust valve opens before intake closes. It's a tempermental beast to keep running but it proved gas engines can be converted by a non-mechanic for $25 to run on hydrogen. Plus tank and regulator. Water vapor emissions. Deliver useful work to their owners today not 50 or 10 years from now.

a hydrogen bomb isn't made by putting HHO into a tank into fluid ... a H-bomb is either a fission or fusion or combined fission and fusion reaction releasing vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter.

id be scared that i would blow myself up

[pleschinski]

Are you using a two-stroke or a four-stroke mower? because I've never come accross a four-stroke mower before, but there'd be lubrication problems with using a gas in a two-stroke no?

[pleschinski]

@shinyfuzzy Late response I know, but for others who are reading...

Did you know that petrolium (gasoline) combustion also produces water or steam. This can be seen on a cold morning dripping out of the exhaust pipe. as mowerguy said, it is exhausted as steam and never stays in the engine to make it rust

for gods sake, they where running hydrogen cars during world war 2, old "but good" technology....................­.

HINDENMOWER OH THE HUMANITY

[BartlettDude]

@nshamblin they have, its called the Honda hrx.

[nshamblin]

sure would be nice if someone would actually come up with something new. what ever happened to American genius

[TheSoupspoons]

FAKE

[girayhankaya]

@trytops007 also hydrogen bomb is not produced by normal hydrogen,a very scarce hyrogen isotope deuterium and even more scarce istotope tritium
