Here is a question that has kept my mind busy for a long time.
If you use an acetylene torch, and you only open the gasvalve and then light it, you will obtain a flame that is not very hot.
You open the oxygenvalve and now you wil have a flame hot enough to weld steel, you may even have to close the gasvalve a little because the flame is to big.
You get alot more energy out of it.
So my question is: Would this be possible to use with for example a car engine ? Mixing the gasoline with pure oxigen that is.
I am no scientist so I can't calculate it.
But if one presumes that is does have this effect, than I was thinking of the following construction.
Take a car engine with an output of 100 (Kw, HP, whatever)
To this engine is attached a large dynamo, this will use power from the engine, lets presume 20 from the hundred.
So you are left with an output of 80. The dynamo wil produce Hydrogyn and Oxygen through electrolyses of water.
The produced Hydrogyn will go to a smaller engine that acts as a generator, so this H is combusted with outside air.
The generator wil also electrolyse water, and the H it produces will be used as fuel for the generator, the generator will have its max output now.
The O produced by the ddynamo and the generator wil be fed into the car engine, so the gasoline intake can be reduced because of the
higher energy output that you get from a Gasoline and oxygen mixture.
OK everybody take out your shotguns and shoot the idea to smithereens.
