Now I have a few nuggets myself First; is Id seen no mention of preheating with manifold exhaust.
Second; Is Iceland. no mention of thier efforts to be petrol free and geothermic generation of HH. This is used now today.
Third; is absence of methelyne. No it doesnt have the potential energy of other fuels but if a hot running engine could use scavenge heat to help create HH It could be add in similar to your tests with petrol It burns hotter thus enhancing HH production??
Last: there was an article where scavenged exhaust gas was introduced into combustion cycle to super heat fuel air mixture to just at combustion to lean burn 99.9% of potential energy. that system would be ideal candidate for testing this issue as designer was adding water to fuel air to prevent preignition.
Well I hope ive brought yall, something to the table and not simple known items you have already dismissed.
Yes, heat recycling is a topic other researchers have looked into via EGR and exhaust to intake super heating, but the research has been limited or oblique.
