Putting it in simpler terms.
Suppose you have soup of lunch. (food = fuel)
your eating it with a fork. (regular fuel / air combustion) you can't eat all of it. (granted you don't sip straight from the bowl)
If given a spoon (hydrogen) you can eat more of the soup. (better combustion of fuel)
Get it?

Very well said! Thank you for spelling it out so well!
neilblanchard,
I have seen this before somewhere, the only issue i see being that scrap alluminum is worth about .50$ per pound and the only way to get the alluminum back is to burn off the oxides which happens at about 2400 F. If we can maybe use the energy released from this combustion to generate electricity so we could reuse the alluminum then that would work great. Definitely something to think about.
