ABSTRACT:
A hydrogen generating system produces hydrogen instantaneously upon contact of a catalyst and a reactant for simultaneous injection into the combustion chamber of an engine. The system includes an injector having an ignition chamber in communication with the combustion chamber. A catalyst is located in the ignition chamber. During the engine intake stroke, a reactant is fed into the ignition chamber where it reacts with the catalyst to produce hydrogen which is instantaneously drawn into the combustion chamber. A spark plug mounted on the injector provides a spark and the hydrogen in the ignition chamber and the combustion chamber explodes. The location of the catalyst in the injector provides for the generation of hydrogen and its immediate injection into the engine combustion chamber for use as a fuel. Automatic regeneration of the catalyst is provided by the fuel explosion, hydrogen and intense heat in the ignition chamber.
