Has anyone come up with a design for an HBO generator to run an engine just on hho? How many lpm would I need to produce to run a 6.4 litre v8
HHO Generator Design for 6.4L V8 Engines
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on designing an HHO generator specifically for 6.4L V8 engines. To operate effectively, the generator must produce approximately 375 kWth of fuel energy, factoring in a 75% derate for hydrogen's knock margin and a conservative efficiency of 20%. The lower heating value (LHV) of hydrogen is noted as 121 MJ/kg, which is crucial for calculating the required hydrogen output in liters per minute (lpm) to sustain engine performance. Participants emphasize the importance of precise calculations to ensure the generator meets the energy demands of the engine.
