    In the following chapter you will learn how relatively easy an Otto or Diesel engine can be converted, step by step, to run on hydrogen fuel. This chapter also explains how to inject and ignite the hydrogen fuel in a converted engine in different ways and potential risks when misfiring.

    Key words:

    Ignition, ignition timing, fuel injection, conversion.

     

    Study questions:

    1. Which burns at the fastest ratio hydrogen or gasoline?
    2. How can the self ignition be a risk for the engine?
    3. Why is platinum coated spark plugs not a good choice for hydrogen engine?

    This chapter shines light on the advantages of the conversion of existing engines and vehicle and vessel transport and production of the future. It also takes a more sentimental point of view on the future of vintage vehicles. In a world where scientists constantly find new solutions and a world where humanity are given new challenges with the environment, these are perspectives we must have in mind.

    Keywords:

    shifting engine production, conversion advantages, saving vintage vehicles, the future of vehicle and vessel transport.

     

    Study questions

    1. What challenges of the future can hydrogen help to solve?
    2. What are the advantages of using hydrogen in an internal combustion engine vs. in a fuel cell?
    3. What possible advantages and disadvantages of shifting to a hydrogen based future do you see regarding both the individual and society?
