For an upcomming science expo my friend and I are attempting to modify a small engine (such as found in a brush cutter) to run of hydrogen. We do however have a number of concerns and was wondering if anyone would be able to help.
Firstly should we run it off tanked hydrogen and air or should we use HHO straight out of a electrolysis tank?
Secondly what specifics would we have to modify within the engine itself?
Thirdly our school's Head of Science said that he is prepared to let us run the engine at the expo only if we can demonstrate that this engine will be safe. He also said that if it is safe he will also let us have hydrogen from the school's tanks . As I have no hydrogen at home would using LP Gas as a substitute be ok for early testing/modifications?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there is anything I have overlooked please mention it.
