For those of us who don't have the time or inclination to read the entire paper, perhaps you can quote/reference the section that explains what advantages there can be for adding 'a large amount' (to paraphrase your first quote) of H2 to the intake air?
So far as I can see, the DofE paper is aimed at H2 production to supply fuel-cells Not IC engines. And, though there might be some evidence that H2 fumigation can slightly offset fuel use (on Gas or Diesel, I can't remember) I don't find any good support for 'destroying' something as valuable as elemental Aluminium to make it.
~ For reference it's been shown that fumigating diesel intakes with low concentrations of Propane has great advantages (and unlike H2 it can be stored indefinitely bought in a local shop).
