O USO DO HIDROGÊNIO EM MOTORES DE COMBUSTÃO INTERNA

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the use of hydrogen in internal combustion engines. Such an approach is necessary, through the information that is currently circulating in social media, regarding the high fuel economy that the hydrogen generator provides to the vehicle. The demystification of this information will be enormously relevant because it actually shows whether the hydrogen generator saves fuel. The purpose of this analysis is to demystify the information about a possible saving in fuel consumption coupled with the presence of the hydrogen generator, coupled to the engine of an internal combustion vehicle. This purpose will be achieved through laboratory tests and bibliographical research, mainly composed of books, scientific articles, master's dissertations, doctoral theses. Continuing the project, laboratory tests will be performed simulating the amount of hydrogen that the hydrogen generator will produce in a given electric current and for a certain period of time. This simulation will allow us to collect data to perform calculations and will allow a comparison with an internal combustion vehicle. The theoretical and laboratorial analyzes on the subject will be approached in the course of this work.
