TH953A - The internal combustion engine uses hydrogen gas. - Google Patents

Abstract

An internal combustion engine that uses hydrogen gas as fuel has hydrogen gas and water vapor supplied directly to the combustion chamber through separate jet nozzles. Due to the higher combustion rate of hydrogen compared to petroleum fuel, it is difficult to convert sufficient explosive/thermal energy into mechanical/kinetic energy. In this system, hydrogen gas is supplied to the combustion chamber along with water vapor to convert the water vapor into combustion energy. The rapid combustion of hydrogen is slowed down by the water vapor, and simultaneously, the explosive/thermal energy is combined with the water vapor energy, converting it into mechanical/kinetic energy.

Claims (6)

1. Internal combustion engines use hydrogen gas, which is designed to create hydrogen gas injectors and water atomizers within the combustion chamber. These injectors directly inject hydrogen gas and water atomize the gas into the pressurized air chamber. The water atoms instantly evaporate into steam by the ignition of the hydrogen gas. The combined energy from the hydrogen gas combustion/explosion and the steam generated by the evaporation of the water vapor are then used to generate mechanical energy. 2. An internal combustion engine using hydrogen gas, as protected under Patent 1, where the combustion chamber is a cylinder in a reciprocating piston engine, and the cylinder head has injectors to spray hydrogen gas and nozzles to atomize water. 3. The internal combustion engine uses hydrogen gas, as protected under Patent 1, where the combustion chamber is a rotor housing of a rotating engine and has nozzles for injecting hydrogen gas into the inlet port to immediately draw the hydrogen gas in before the water-air mixture is drawn into the rotor housing through the inlet port. 4. An internal combustion engine using hydrogen gas covered under any one of the claims 1, 2, or 3, where the hydrogen supply line between the hydrogen storage tank and the combustion chamber has a low-pressure hydrogen supply bypass which can be shut off under low load and which can supply hydrogen to the combustion chamber at a pressure lower than the supply pressure in the hydrogen supply line. 5. The internal combustion engine uses hydrogen gas, as enshrined in Protection 1, where the combustion chamber is a combustion cylinder of a gas turbine, incorporating a hemispherical front nozzle at the base of the cylinder and a hydrogen gas nozzle at its center. A hemispherical rear nozzle is also located within the cylinder, and a water atomizer is positioned at the center of the rear nozzle. The continuously flowing gas within the combustion cylinder is then mixed with vapor energy generated by the evaporation of the water droplets to produce mechanical dynamic energy. 6. A hydrogen gas engine protected under either Patent 1 or 5, in which the aforementioned hemispherical front and rear nozzle covers form the aforementioned cylindrical combustion chamber, respectively, with radial air guide holes around the nozzles and guiding fins to refract and distribute the compressed air inside these holes at angles of deflection (Patent 6, page 1, diagram 6).
