Title: lpm vs cubic inchs
Post by: topothemtn on August 14, 2008, 07:10:49 PM

Anyone happen to know how many lpm of HHO you need per cubic inch of an engine?

I have a 488 cu  V-10 and need to know how much HHO I need to produce to have an effect on this BIG BOY.

U can compare HHO to a gasoline but u should notice that the HHO is a gas what is not compared to a liquid: so it is not tense enough, it means that is do not contain as much energy as liquid fuel (for example gasoline). Mark that hydrogen as liquid is 788 times more dense that hydrogen gas. Do some math.  ::)

I'm curious about the answer to this quesiton as well...
though not dealing with as large of a motor... 2.4 liter toyota.

does anyone have an idea of the amount of HHO needed to have a decent effect on mpg relative to engine size?

I have a MS Excel file to calculate this, see example below:
See attachment xls.



            Input data in red   
Engine size            6000   cc
Number of cylinders            12   
Capacity of each cylinder            500   cc
Power strock per cycle.            4   
Volume of Gas required per cycle            2000   cc
RMP            1500   
Revolutions per second            25   
Volume of Gas required per second.            12500   cc
Air to Hyrogen ratio 20:1               
Therefore H required per second            625   cc
            6,25   Lt


Hope this will be of any help.

Thanks Kampen.

That works quite well.  But it looks like that tells me the amount of gas per sec if I was using only hydrogen.

I just need to know how much Hydro I need to have a decent effect on my gas mileage.  I.m only trying to boost not run on straight Hydro.

Guess I can use your chart to try and get an idea of what percent would be of help.

I am going to order a Scanguage soon. That will help alot by being able to see what my mileage is doing and also by being able to see what the injectors are doing.

I am making about 2 lt per min. @ 6 amps. Plan to double that and see what it does.

Anyhow we just keep on trying one thing after another.  Someday we will get it right.  Right?

Thanks again.
