Also argon gas can be added to the hydrogen to make it more stable and prevent the hydrogen from damaging engine components.

I've got this old 1991 nissan than im gonna fuck around with. see if i cant get it to run on ethanol that i made.

then if i finally get some money i can build an electrolysis tank and figure out how to store it. then we could see how hydrogen fuels really work.


It is the problem when you want to turn a all ready almost bored to the maximum 49cc 2 stroke, that needs the oil in the fuel mixture [petrol and oil] to lubricate the cylinder. Running it like he wanted wouldnt have worked, as there'd be no oil in the fuel [gas] the engine was running on, there'd be no need for the carbouretta in terms of fuel,only needed for air intake, which would be diffnernt, and like you said, they'rd be no way of getting the gas into the cylinders, as it'd float [id assume] si it wont travle down pipes without a pump of somesort, again, a new part to add to the 2 stroke engine, as previously it has been a gravity fed carb. That's why a 2 stroke would never be able to run on water or, as we know it hydrogen.

I know what im talking about, im a marine engineer by trade, and worked on a gas powdered engine [not hydrogen] which yes, is nothing special, but i get the concept.
