...The electrolysers created by Water Fuel Engineering Ltd, work by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, using the hydrogen as fuel alongside fossil fuels to help reduce emissions...
Anyone, like myself, who has spent time studying and experimenting with electrolysis will know that this isn't so straight forward as this article makes it sound.
Producing hydrogen and oxygen from water is quite simple.
producing enough of it to be feasible is something else.
Also it seems they are going to dump the oxygen and only use the hydrogen.
I dabbled in the hydroxy idea. That uses the combined gas' as produced.
This gas is highly explosive. Burns VERY fast. It isn't safe to store it. You really do have to produce it as you need it.
All kinds of complications are involved.
It's a fascinating subject. But beware snake oil merchants.
I still have a largish unit. But as I run Diesel engined cars, occasionally running on home brew bio Diesel It would only be of academic interest to me now.
But the ides is still appealing.
