The next phase is to vent the hydrogen gas collected into the air filtration system. The concept is similar to injecting nitrous oxide into the engine to generate more power. By diverting H2 into the combustion chambers, it will mix with the gasoline fume and produce a bigger explosion. This is because hydrogen gas is three times more … Read the rest
