ABSTRACT:
Internal combustion (I.C.) systems and methods provided herein substantially eliminate incomplete combustion, unburned hydrocarbon emission, and hydrocarbon, CO, NOx, and SOxemissions. A method of one embodiment includes the steps of providing a fuel stream containing acetylene, providing an I.C. engine, and introducing the fuel stream to the engine's intake port. A method of another embodiment includes the steps of providing a fuel source selected from the group consisting of acetylene and hydrogen, providing an I.C. engine, and introducing the fuel source to the engine's intake port. Still another embodiment's method includes the steps of providing a fuel stream that doesn't include gasoline, diesel fuel, or an alcohol selected from the group consisting of C1–C20alcohols, providing an I.C. engine, and introducing the fuel stream to the engine's intake port. In an embodiment, an I.C. system is provided, including an I.C. engine and a fuel stream containing acetylene.
