admin Hydrogen fuel injection is a system usually installed on semi-trucks as an after market accessory. These systems are specially devised in a fashion to facilitate either pure hydrogen or a mixture rich in hydrogen to be injected to the fuel commonly utilized with most internal combustion engines.
The Hydrogen fuel injection is given to an engine many times together in order to allow it to join with the air it intakes. The injection can be easily pre-mixed with compressed natural gas at a gas filling station that sells hydrogen. The acronym for Hydrogen fuel injection is either H2CNG or HCNG.
The total weight of a Hydrogen fuel injection is about ninety pounds and it is installed behind the cab on trucks. The system also works towards extracting some amount of electricity via the alternator utilized for splitting distilled water into oxygen and hydrogen gases.
These gases can be easily injected in conjunction with usual diesel fuel in the engine. A reservoir is filled with distilled water. The driver refills the reservoir as per the requirement. The whole mixture of HCNG mix consists of about four to nine percent hydrogen that is combined with compressed natural gas. The mixture is flammable and comes with risks of leaking as any other CNG equipment. Hence, one does not require taking any extra precautions to maintain the system. One can enjoy up to eighty phenomenal hours of operation on a semi-truck via adding 2 litres of distilled water. There are certain Hydrogen fuel injection companies that guarantee at least 10 percent of fuel savings to their customers.
One can enjoy several ecological benefits via using a Hydrogen fuel injection system.
A Hydrogen fuel injection system tends to enhance torque and horsepower of a vehicle. The emissions of dangerous gasses and pollutants are limited largely.
When a truck with HCNG installed in it is run on the road, a reduction of about sixty per cent of most of the dangerous pollutants including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide is noticed. When the fuel completes its’ combustion, it emits out least pollution.
Since HCNG is a type of on-demand fuel and obtained from distilled water, there is absolutely no requirement of liquid hydrogen or compressed hydrogen to be imported to the vehicle.
One of the most significant benefits of using Hydrogen fuel injection systems in a vehicle is their money saving aspect. The investment you make on a system such as this will be soon returned and you may even enjoy instant savings via leasing one of the units as well as writing of the marketing expense.
The best part is that these systems are not very expensive. However, you still require shelling out about $15,000 on purchasing one and the price may also hike up according to the quality and features.
A Hydrogen fuel injection system can benefit you a lot in terms of money saving and lot of other aspects as mentioned above.

You disc your fields at 50 mph? WOW! lol

The key is when you point out the 30 to 40 percent efficiency loss that results from making hydrogen in the first place; there is no way to recover this lost efficiency, even if you managed 100% efficiency from the hydrogen itself.
*
Since fuel cells are about 50% efficient (ideally), and internal combustion engines can only manage as much as 30% efficiency (ideally), the fuel cells would still win. But combine this with the loss from converting the hydrogen, and the best you can hope for is a 35% overall efficiency.

I'm going to do something unexpected, and compare this to an electric vehicle. It's true that about half our electricity comes from coal, but fuel burns very efficiently in large powerplants (about 85% efficient in newer plants.) Transmitting energy by wire to charge electric cars is 95% efficient (beats the wasted efficiency of trucking gasoline around the country.) Battery storage is about 90% efficient, and electric motors are also about 95% efficient.
*
Multiplying these numbers out gives us an efficiency of about 69%. But the number is even better than this, since not all electricity comes from fossil fuel, and EVs can also recover braking energy to charge batteries while stopping.
*
The poor electric vehicle has almost been forgotten, but much progress on batteries has been made in the last few years. Take a look at this car:

The Phoenix can travel up to 250 miles per charge, carries 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph, charges in only 10 minutes, and has batteries that will last well over 200,000 miles (for the life of the car.) Yes, it's a real car, orders have been taken and they begin building cars this month.
