Hydrogen Injection

Also called hydro-boost, hydrogen boost, and automotive fuel enhancement. Claimed to increase combustion speed and efficiency.


LPG Assist

  • Diesel/Gas Australia (http://www.dieselgasaustralia.com.au/default.aspx?ID=Vehicles) - This company has been able to do a fuel aspiration into the air intake for diesels. Normally, this is a dangerous condition, as once the heat of compression reaches the autoignition point of the fuel, uncontrolled combustion takes place, often well before top dead center. This system does not do it at all, which is amazing. Vaporized LPG is introduced into the air intake to augment the normal diesel fuel injection into the cylinder. The result is cleaner combustion and higher overall fuel mileage. -- Ken Rauen, Feb. 6, 2006
  • GreenPower Bi-Fuels (http://www.gpbf.co.uk/bifuel.htm) - Bi-fuel is the principle of running two fuels in an engine simultaneously. Introducing a small amount of LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) into a diesel engine via the air inlet manifold has the effect of acting as a catalyst, causing the diesel to combust more effectively, burning more of the diesel.

Metalurgical

(PESN; Feb. 1, 2008)

Electrolysis Units

On board electrolysis of water produces hydrogen and oxygen which are added to the air/fuel mixture to increase combustion efficiency. Also known as Brown's gas or egas (electrolysis gas or electrolytic gas).
