sorting it out
From Professor Vosper's work I get the impression that the hydrogen is of value during "highway" operation.
He's from Canada.When I was last there,the speed limit was 100-Km/h.Would I be free to presume that he did his highway testing at this speed?
If a net 21% mpg improvement is realized,that sounds pretty good.
Widmer's high-swirl designs were netting 0.37 lbs/hp-hour BSFC.
Would hydrogen injection on top of 0.37 lb BSFC show even lower consumption? Or is the benefit from hydrogen achieved with the high-swirl,lean-burn engine,with no further room for improvement?
In a camshaft comparison published by HOT ROD,their Chevy 350 V-8 never performed better than 0.49 lb/hp-hr.That's with optimized cam degreeing,fuel mixture,and ignition timing,and typically at rpm's around 3,000 or below.
