New Solutions to Old Problems

U.S. Patent # 6,257,175 B1 from July 10, 2001 “OXYGEN AND HYDROGEN GENERATOR APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES” that describes in detail the use of hydrogen and oxygen as fuel, and the benefits of reduced pollution, and states that “It has long been known”. The Patent says: "Hydrogen and oxygen gases are generated for use in an internal combustion engine in a vehicle using the electrical system of the vehicle to provide current for the electrolysis process to generate the hydrogen and oxygen gases. The electrolysis process to eliminate oxygen and hydrogen gases occurs only while the engine is being operated and terminates when the engine stops... It has long been known that the pollution caused by internal combustion engines can be decreased by the addition of oxygen. As a matter of fact, in recent years the oxygenating of fuel has been mandated in various states or areas as a means for decreasing pollution. At the same time, it has long been known that the burning of hydrogen provides a source of clean energy, since the combustion of hydrogen results in the formation of water as a by product. Hence, the use of an electrolysis unit to generate hydrogen and oxygen gases from water provides two important features, one of which is providing additional energy from the internal combustion engine and the other of which is decreasing pollution by the addition of oxygen in the combustion process.
