Oxy-Hydrogen Gas as a Sustainable Fuel for the Welding Industry: Alternative for Oxy-Acetylene Gas

Energy-conversion efficiency for producing oxy-hydrogen gas using a simple generator based on water electrolysis

Producing hydrogen efficiently through water electrolysis could greatly reduce fossil fuel consumption. As well as this renewable energy source will also help combat global warming and boost economic investment opportunities. This paper studied some factors affecting the performance of oxy-hydrogen/hydroxy (HHO) gas generator, such as applied voltage (from 10.5 to 13.0 V) and electrolyte solution concentration (from 0.05 to 0.20 M), using a dry fuel cell based on the electrolyzing technique of water. The results revealed that the HHO gas production rate, power consumption, and temperature change of electrolyte solution increased significantly with increasing the tested applied voltage and electrolyte concentration. This study concluded that the optimum conditions for producing HHO gas ranged from 11.5 to 12.0 V for applied voltage and from 0.05 to 0.10 M for KOH concentration according to the lowest specific energy and highest HHO gas generator efficiency. Under the previous optimum conditions, the highest productivity, specific energy, and efficiency of the HHO gas generator were 343.9 cm3 min−1, 3.43 kW h m−3, and 53.79%, respectively, using 12.0 V for applied voltage and 0.10 M for electrolyte solution concentration. These findings provide an unambiguous direction for adjusting the operational factors (applied voltage and electrolyte concentration) for efficient HHO gas production and use in different applications. Furthermore, the required energy to operate the HHO gas generator can be obtained from renewable sources.

Recycling waste tires into sustainable biofuel for replacing petroleum fuel in diesel engines using nanoparticles and biohydrogen.

In this paper, the production of pyrolyzed oil in lab scale plant and its possible use in variable speed diesel engine with nanoparticle and secondary fuel oxy-hydrogen gas is investigated. The pyrolyzed oil is produced from waste tires in lab scale plant, and after its distillation, it is blended with neat diesel in the proportion of 20:80 (TDF). The different testing fuels are prepared by mixing nanoparticle CeO2 (NP) at the concentrations 50ppm and 100ppm with blended fuel (named as TDF-NP50 and TDF-NP100). While in the testing phase, the HHO gas is supplied through specially designed venturi at fixed flow rate (fuel designated as TDF-NP50-HHO and TDF-NP100-HHO). The focus of current investigation is to investigate the combined impact of inducting HHO with nanoparticle mixed pyrolyzed blends on engine performance and emissions characteristics. The pyrolyzed blended fuel deteriorate the BTE, BSFC, emissions of HC and NOx while improves the CO emission. The improvement in all the characteristics can be achieved by introducing CeO2 nanoparticle at 50ppm and 100ppm which improves BTE by 15-24%, BSFC by 2.2-4.2%, HC by 8-18%, CO by 7-12%, and NOx by 7-16%. The further improvement can be achieved by inducting HHO gas, which are BTE 11%, BSFC 5-8%, HC 15%, and CO 13-16%. However, the NOx emission is increased by 14-17%. Hence, the waste tire-derived pyrolyzed oil along with green hydrogen and nanoparticles CeO2 can be used as a sustainable transportation fuel in existing CI engine.

Efficacy of machine learning algorithm in estimating oxyhydrogen gas generation system: Electrolyte concentration and current influence on sustainable energy production

Hydrogen gas has emerged as a promising and ecologically friendly substitute for fossil fuels, providing a long-term energy alternative. This research study applies machine learning regression models for estimating the volume of HHO gas generated using two distinct electrolytes with varying concentrations, namely sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). The efficiency of the HHO gas production system hinges on various factors, such as the type of electrolyte and electrode, distance between electrodes, applied current and voltage. This investigation employed a comprehensive array of 29 multiple-regression algorithms to predict gas production. Notably, the input data for these algorithms were directly fed from the collected experimental data without any preprocessing. The input variables include the electrolyte concentration, current, and voltage, while the output is the estimated production of HHO gas. The findings of this study revealed that the multilayer perceptron (MLP) regression algorithm yielded the highest correlation coefficients, registering values of 0.9945 for NaOH and 0.9942 for KOH, respectively. Root relative squared error, relative absolute error, root mean squared error, mean fundamental error, and correlation coefficient were the metrics used to determine the model performance in predicting the volume of HHO gas produced. Furthermore, the experimental analysis demonstrated a direct relationship between the concentration of the electrolyte solution and the current with the rate of HHO gas production. Notably, the study identified that operating the cell at 40 A with KOH resulted in the maximum productivity of 0.9 litres per minute (LPM) of HHO gas, representing a 16 % increase compared to NaOH. These findings underscore the potential of machine learning regression models in optimizing hydrogen production and highlight the advantages of KOH as an electrolyte in this context.

Experimental investigation on a solar-powered oxy-hydrogen gas system for enhanced plastic pyrolysis

The escalating environmental concerns associated with plastic waste have intensified the search for sustainable waste management solutions. Plastic dispersion in the environment poses severe threats to ecosystems, human well-being, and agriculture. Consequently, addressing plastic pollution stands as a pressing ecological concern. In contrast, the adoption of sustainable solar energy is harnessed for the production of HHO (Oxy-Hydrogen) gas, offering a promising avenue for clean energy generation. Gas production is achieved through the process of electrolysis, utilizing solar panels as the primary energy source. To address storage challenges, a spiral pipe configuration is employed for the interim containment of the generated HHO gas. Given the highly flammable nature of HHO gas, stringent safety protocols are imperative throughout the production and storage phases. To ensure the safe handling of HHO gas, a sophisticated MQ-8 Sensor is employed for real-time leak detection within the gas containment system. This sensor plays a critical role in maintaining operational safety by promptly identifying and addressing any potential gas leaks that may arise within the tubing infrastructure. The HHO gas, generated through the electrolysis process, serves as the primary fuel for the pyrolysis of plastic. This optimization is crucial to maximize the efficiency of the pyrolysis process. As a result of the pyrolysis process, crude oil is produced as an intermediary product. This crude oil holds the potential for subsequent refinement, offering versatility for various applications and end uses. Hence, the integration of solar energy-driven HHO gas in the pyrolysis of plastic demonstrates a promising avenue for mitigating plastic waste and contributing to environmental cleanliness. The intricate technological aspects, ranging from gas production through electrolysis, leak detection, optimized combustion, to crude oil production and refinement, collectively establish a comprehensive framework for sustainable waste management and resource recovery.

Oxyhydrogen Gas: A Promising Therapeutic Approach for Lung, Breast and Colorectal Cancer

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death despite advancements in research and treatment, with traditional therapies often causing significant side effects and resistance. Oxyhydrogen gas, a mixture of 66% molecular hydrogen (H2) and 33% molecular oxygen (O2) has shown exceptional promise as a novel therapeutic agent due to its ability to modulate oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. H2, a key component of oxyhydrogen gas, neutralises reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, enhancing existing treatments and reducing harmful oxidative states in cancer cells. H2 also lowers proinflammatory mediators including chemokines, cytokines, and interleukins, inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and boosting the effectiveness of conventional therapies. Additionally, hydrogen can induce apoptosis in cancer cells by modulating pathways such as MAPK and inhibiting the PI3K/Akt phosphorylation cascade. Preclinical and clinical evidence supports oxyhydrogen gas’s potential in treating various cancers. In lung cancer models, it inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and enhances chemotherapy sensitivity. Similar results have been observed in breast cancer, where patients reported improved quality of life. In colorectal cancer, oxyhydrogen gas suppresses tumour growth, induces apoptosis, and improves intestinal microflora dysbiosis. The unique properties of oxyhydrogen gas make it a promising adjunctive or standalone cancer treatment. However, further research is needed to understand H2s’ mechanisms, optimise treatment protocols, and evaluate long-term safety and efficacy in human patients.

A Study on the Influence of Oxy-Hydrogen Gas Flame on the Combustion Stability of Coal Powder and Nitrogen Oxide Emissions

Investigation of the effect of HHO-assisted flame-jet ignition on in-cylinder combustion, engine performance, and environmental indicators in a propane-fueled SI engine

In this paper, a spark ignition (SI) engine is modified to operate by flame-jet ignition using oxy-hydrogen (HHO) gas in a small pre-combustion chamber (PCC) at partial load. The air-propane mixture in the main combustion chamber was ignited with an HHO-assisted flame jet, and the effects on in-cylinder combustion, engine performance, and environmental factors were investigated. In experimental studies, the SI engine was operated at 2300 rpm with a throttle opening of 1/2 at 24 different operating points generated by combining six different mixtures (λ = 0.9–1.4) and four different HHO flow rates (HHO = 0–1.0 l.min−1). The situation in which the HHO gas is not injected into the PCC is passive, while the situation in which it is injected is active. The findings showed that operating conditions with active PCC at λs significantly improved engine performance and environmental impact. The effect of active PCC was greater with lean mixtures (λ = 1.3–1.4) and decreased as the mixture shifted towards the rich (λ = 0.9). In addition, the effect of active PCC at all λs slowed down after 0.7 l.min−1 HHO flow rate. At λ = 1.4 and 1.0 l.min−1 HHO flow rate, where the highest effect occurs, Pmax and IMEP with active PCC are 76.09 % and 58.9 % increased, respectively; ISFC decreased by 38.3 % and ηt reached by 37 %; mfb’s of 0–10 %, 10–90 %, and 90–100 % 38.27, 20.83 %, and 47.62 % shorten, respectively; COVIMEP decreased by 6043 units; HC decreased by 95.18 %; CO2 and NOx emissions increased by 44.6 % and 24 %, respectively. In addition, at λ = 1.4, ΣE&SC decreased up to 164.5 €.kWh−1 which is 11 % lower than the lowest value of 183.5 €.kWh−1 obtained at passive PCC.

This abstract encapsulates the essence of the research paper focusing on the design, development, and testing of an HHO (Hydrogen-Hydrogen-Oxygen) generator. The study aims to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of HHO technology in producing hydrogen gas for various applications, including engine decarbonization, renewable energy production, and industrial processes. The research begins with an in-depth exploration of HHO generation principles, electrolysis techniques, and system components. Through systematic design and engineering processes, a prototype HHO generator is developed, integrating innovative features to enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability. Experimental testing is conducted to evaluate the performance of the HHO generator across a range of operating conditions. In this study, we explore the utilization of oxy-hydrogen gas (HHO) as an supplementary source for internal combustion engines. The electrolysis process of water with an electrolyte (such as KaOH) produces HHO gas, which can address fossil fuel shortages and mitigate environmental pollution.

Study on Exhaust Gas Characteristics of SI Engine Using Fuel (Gasoline) & HHO Gas

Experiments have been carried out to investigate the effect of HHO gas on the emission and performance of SI engines. Water was converted into hydrogen and oxygen consisting of a 2:1 volume ratio by electrolysis process, which is called HHO (oxyhydrogen gas). An HHO fuel cell had been fabricated to generate the HHO gas required to feed the engine. This HHO is then mixed with filtered air, which is after the air filter system and before the inlet manifold system of the vehicle. In this investigation, a 125-cc single-cylinder 4-stroke air-cooled engine was used. The exhaust gas characteristics were sampled and measured using a gas analyzer. It was observed that when HHO gas had been introduced into the air/fuel mixture, it consequently reduced the concentration of NO, NOx, CO, engine temperature, and HC by about 50%, 50%, 38%, 5% & and 45% respectively. Also, a reduction in fuel consumption is noticed for the same engine RPM and load conditions when HHO gas was imported into the A/F mixture. Also, when HHO is introduced into the system, the concentration of O2 CO2 increases by about 50% and 23% respectively.

Experimental Investigation on Oxy-Hydrogen Gas Flame Injecting Coal Powder Gasification and Combustion

Hydrogen energy is an important carrier for energy terminals to achieve green and low-carbon transformation. Hydrogen, as a carbon-free fuel, has great research and development value in the field of thermal power generation. This article proposes a solution for the stable combustion of coal powder using Oxy-hydrogen Gas ignition technology. An Oxy-hydrogen Gas flame injection coal powder combustion testing device was constructed to experimentally study the temperature distribution in the combustion chamber under Oxy-hydrogen Gas ignition technology, with primary air coal powder concentrations of 0.27, 0.32, and 0.36 (kg coal powder/kg air), as well as the concentration changes of volatile CO emissions during the ignition of coal powder using both Oxy-hydrogen Gas and CH4 flames. The sensitivity of the NO generation during coal gasification combustion under the Oxy-hydrogen Gas ignition was simulated and analyzed. The results show that at a coal powder concentration of 0.32 (kg coal/kg air) and an Oxy-hydrogen Gas flow rate of 2.1 L/min, the combustion effect of coal powder is the best, and the highest combustion chamber temperature can reach 1156 K; when the concentration of coal powder varies within a range from 0.32 to 0.27, the combustion chamber temperature can be maintained at around 850K, achieving stable combustion conditions for coal powder. The only product generated by the Oxy-hydrogen Gas combustion is high-temperature water vapor, which helps the rapid gasification of coal powder and releases a large amount of volatile CO, which is beneficial for the ignition and stable combustion of coal powder.

Experimental Investigation of Oxy-Hydrogen Injection in Natural Gas/Diesel Dual-Fuel Engine: Performance and Emission Analysis under Low Load Operation

The pursuit of achieving zero carbon emissions by 2050 has led to the implementation of green technologies in the maritime industry. One crucial aspect is the adoption of alternative fuels, with a focus on non-fossil fuels to enhance energy efficiency and minimize emissions during ship operations. This study explores the innovative dual fuel diesel – Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) technology, which offers relatively low emissions with uncomplicated modifications to the diesel engine. CNG is injected into the intake manifold, addressing the need for cleaner fuel options. However, the evolution of this technology has encountered challenges such as methane slip resulting from incomplete combustion. This research proposes an intervention using hydrogen within the combustion chamber to improve combustion quality. Oxy-hydrogen gas (HHO), a carbon-free fuel derived from water through electrolysis, is considered as a potential solution. The utilization of HHO serves as a substitute for pure H2 due to its more feasible production and application, considering the global limitations in hydrogen storage and usage in transportation. The study aims to investigate the impact of HHO on the performance and emissions of dual fuel engines. Experimental tests are conducted under low loads to simulate critical operational points of the engine. Results indicate that the dual fuel system exhibits significant fuel savings, particularly with increasing injection duration. However, the need for additional oxygen to enhance combustion perfection must be balanced. HHO injection demonstrates the potential to improve engine performance, leveraging the oxygen content in HHO and the positive characteristics of hydrogen with its high Lower Heating Value (LHV). Furthermore, the research suggests that HHO injection can mitigate methane slip issues associated with dual fuel engine operations, offering a promising avenue for emission reduction

Performance and carbon emissions of a diesel/oxy-hydrogen dual-fuel engine with oxy-hydrogen injection variation under low and medium load conditions

Reducing carbon emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) from diesel engines struggled with engine performance challenges and fossil fuel limitations. Besides, huge transportation such as ships hardly replaced diesel engines due to the higher thermal efficiency and low operation cost. Oxy-hydrogen gas, as a carbon-free gas, could potentially improve diesel engine performance and carbon emissions. Most of the studies tried to identify the effect of oxy-hydrogen induction into diesel engine combustion on performance and emissions. However, this study evaluated oxy-hydrogen injector sizes to the diesel engine performance and carbon emissions at several loads and several engine speed conditions. Overall, the result showed that the oxy-hydrogen gas injection into the diesel engine’s intake port improved the performance and carbon emissions compared to the single diesel fuel as a baseline. High engine performance with low carbon emissions could be achieved at low and medium engine load conditions with high engine speeds. Moreover, smaller oxy-hydrogen injector sizes were suitable for the medium engine load and vice versa, to improve the performance and carbon emissions. At low load, the engine performance improvement of engine torque, specific fuel consumption, and thermal efficiency were 1800 to 2200 rpm. Moreover, the CO2 and CO emissions reductions were also suitable with 2200 rpm with a bigger oxy-hydrogen gas injector (6 mm). Furthermore, at medium load, the engine performance improved at 1400 rpm but the CO2 and CO emissions were lower at 2200 rpm with a small oxy-hydrogen gas injector (4 mm). The engine operation at 2200 rpm with a 4 mm injector also improved the engine performance regarding carbon emissions reduction. However, injecting oxy-hydrogen gas into diesel engines had the potential to enhance the engine performance and reduce carbon emissions, moving closer to achieving zero emissions

Influence of oxyhydrogen gas retrofit into two-stroke engine on emissions and exhaust gas temperature variations

The generation of power and fuel sustainability that contributes to a cleaner output of exhaust gases is one of the most important objectives the world seeks. In this paper, oxyhydrogen gas is used to retrofit into a two-stroke engine. The water was electrolysed and generated a mixture of oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) or known as oxyhydrogen (HHO) gas via an electrolytic dry cell generator. The HHO was retrofitted experimentally to investigate the engine emissions and exhaust gas temperature from a 1.5 kW gasoline engine. The engine was tested with different power ratings (84–720 W) to investigate the performance and emissions of the engine using gasoline followed by the addition of HHO. The emissions of CO and NOx were measured with different amounts of HHO added. The exhaust temperature was calculated as one of the variables to be considered in relation to pollution. The air-fuel ratios are varied from 12 to 20% in the experiment. The most appropriate air-fuel ratio needed to start the generator with the most environmentally friendly gas emission was analysed. The results showed that the addition of HHO to the engine is successful in reducing fuel consumption up to 8.9%. A higher percentage of HHO added also has improved the emissions and reduced exhaust gas temperature. In this study, the highest quantity of HHO added at 0.15% of the volume fraction reduced CO gas emission by up to 9.41%, NOx gas up to 4.31%, and exhaust gas temperature by up to 2.02%. Generally, adding oxyhydrogen gas has significantly reduced the emissions, and exhaust temperature and provided an eco-friendly environment.

Experimental Investigations and Quasi Dimensional Modelling of Spark Ignition Engine Fuelled With Gasoline and Oxyhydrogen Gas Mixture

Oxy-hydrogen gas is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gas in 2:1 molar proportion. Oxy-hydrogen gas can be easily and economically produced from electrolysis of water by using dry cell electrolysers. Oxy-hydrogen gas is one of the alternative fuel options which can replace conventional fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel, etc., because of its high-octane number (>130) and moderate calorific value (21.4 MJ/kg). Current research work consists of both experimental and simulation parts. Experiments focussed on studying the performance and emission characteristics of spark ignition engine fuelled with gasoline (petrol) and dual fuel (gasoline + Oxy-hydrogen) mixture at variable load and constant speed condition with three different oxy-hydrogen flow rates. Comparative findings suggest that NOx emission and brake thermal efficiency increased by 1.75% and 800 PPM, respectively, at full load and at a flow rate of 1.54 lit/min. Carbon monoxide emission dropped by 0.25% at full load and at a flow rate of 1.54 lit/min. A two-zonequasi dimensional modelling of spark ignition engine was carried out in order to understand the combustion process efficiently. The predicted values accord well with the experimental data, with just a small variance. Commercially available software MATLAB R2021a is used to develop code for the engine simulation.

The Therapeutic Potential of Oxyhydrogen Gas in Oncology: A Study on Epstein–Barr Virus-Immortalised B-Lymphoblastoid (TK6) Cells

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. B-cells are a keystone of the adaptive immune response and are essential for the presentation of tumor-associated antigens to various types of T-cells. Approximately 1.5% of global cancer cases, including breast and gastric carcinomas and both Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, are linked with prior Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) infection. Such properties make EBV-infected lymphocytes ideal models for understanding the effect of oxyhydrogen gas on dysfunctional cell cycling. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of the direct infusion of oxyhydrogen gas on the replicative capacity of EBV-immortalised B-lymphocytes. Oxyhydrogen gas was directly infused into cell culture media. Cells were incubated in 95% air and 5% CO2 for up to 72 h. Cell enumeration was assessed with and without the addition of mitogenic growth stimuli, and subsequent cell-cycle analysis was performed. Cell enumeration: An initial trend of replicative inhibition of TK6 cells is noted with a single oxyhydrogen treatment at the 24 and 48 h time points. The daily addition of oxyhydrogen-infused media showed statistically relevant data at 24 and 48 h but not at 72 h. In mitogen-stimulated cells, a non-statistical trend of inhibition was observed at 24, 48 and 72 h. Analysis details a significant increase in DNA in the Sub G1 phase, indicating increased apoptosis.

Advancing green technology: Experimental study on low heat rejection engine utilizing bio-based antioxidant-doped biodiesel-diesel blends and oxy-hydrogen gas

This research work investigates the combustion, performance, and emissions of low heat rejection (LHR) engine run in dual-fuel mode. Natural (bio-based) antioxidant-doped biodiesel-diesel blends are used as pilot fuel while oxy-hydrogen is used as primary fuel in dual-fuel mode. A stationary single-cylinder, naturally aspirated direct injection (DI) diesel engine is modified to operate in dual-fuel LHR mode. Two different bio-based antioxidants are prepared from Albizia lebek leaf powder (ALLP) and Pongamia pinnata leaf powder (PPLP). These non-edible bio-based leaf powders are characterized by their suitability as antioxidants. The derived bio-based antioxidants with varying concentrations from 500 ppm to 2000 ppm in increments of 500 ppm are doped with JME20. PPLP doped-antioxidant shows higher nitric oxide reduction than ALLP doped-antioxidant operation, due to higher antioxidant activity related phenolic peaks (noticed from XRD analysis), present in PPLP. The JME20P4+HHO operation exhibits 10% lesser NO emissions, and 3.46% higher BSEC than in JME20+HHO operation and HC, CO and smoke emissions are higher by 26.58%, 23.68%, and 13.74%. Although, these values still remain lower than base line diesel data by 33.31%, 30.82%, and 8.31% respectively, at full load due to carbon free oxy-hydrogen combustion.

Impact of produced oxyhydrogen gas (HHO) from dry cell electrolyzer on spark ignition engine characteristics

In the current study, an onboard dry cell electrolyzer was built to produce an oxyhydrogen (HHO) flow rate of 0.5 L/min by water electrolysis. The objective is to show the impact of oxyhydrogen introduction on engine exhaust gases, combustion characteristics, and engine performance related to gasoline. The experiments were carried out in a petrol engine at a fixed engine speed of 3000 rpm and variable engine loading. When comparing HHO gasoline dual fuel to standard gasoline fuel, the maximum improvements in volumetric efficiency, thermal efficiency and air-fuel ratio were determined as 7.5%, 8% and 11%, respectively. In the case of HHO addition, the highest reductions in specific fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperature were 9% and 6.5%, respectively, compared with conventional gasoline fuel. The highest reduction in CO, HC, NOx, and CO2 concentrations was observed as 18%, 9%, 15%, and 11%, respectively, for HHO-gasoline dual-fuel mode compared to gasoline fuel. The peak cylinder pressure and HRR improvements were 1.5% and 4.5%, respectively, at 100% engine load. Oxyhydrogen gas is highly recommended as a substitute fuel since it significantly enhances engine performance and combustion characteristics as well as reducing exhaust pollutants.

Dual combustion oxyhydrogen-diesel: Effects on internal components of engine

In Mexico, diesel is the second most used fuel, representing 28% of the national consumption, being the largest greenhouse gas emitter. In this work, the diesel engine can run smoothly in dual combustion mode diesel fuel/oxyhydrogen gas (OH2G) because OH2G fed to the diesel engine is limited by the volume available in the combustion chamber; this allows the timing and pressure in the combustion chamber to be kept within the limits of the engine y a combustion without detonations was observed, the existing infrastructure is used, and the consumption of diesel and contaminants emissions could be reduced. This study shows the effects produced in the engine combustion chamber by the dual combustion process of diesel fuel/oxyhydrogen after 500 h of operation. Two air-cooled mono-cylinder diesel engines with a displacement of 405 cm3 were operated; a D100 engine was operated with 100% diesel and OH210 engine in dual combustion (diesel fuel/oxyhydrogen) was operated. Both engines were maintained at 40% load with respect to their maximum power during 500 h OH2G was generated in situ by alkaline electrolysis, and a flow of 2 sL min-1 was fed through the intake port during the suction stroke of the engine. Visual analysis, weight and dimensions of the engine parts, metallographic analysis, oil analysis, and electrolyte drag were used to determine the effects on the component materials. For the engine with dual combustion, diesel fuel/oxyhydrogen, was no structural damage to the engine components, although a slight corrosion onset was observed in some components, such as the piston ring. Moreover, iron and aluminum in the oil were off-standard, which is attributed to the corrosion processes occurring because of water steam containing electrolyte traces being fed to the engine with the oxyhydrogen gas. This implies that more oil changes are necessary within a short period. Therefore, a more robust gas purification process will be implemented, and the injection system will be optimized.
