20100011657 | Method of generating hydrogen in gasoline using an enerceutical product added to magnesium in a hydrogen permeable but solute impermeable container - The combustion of gasoline can be facilitated by the addition of molecular hydrogen. The hydrogen can be generated by placing into the gasoline a hydrogen generating device, such as a mixture of metallic magnesium and EH-101 (HB-101) containing solution, whereby the device allows for the selective passage of the generated hydrogen but restricts the passage of magnesium and EH-101 (HB-101) components. This partitioning of hydrogen from EH-101 (HB-101) components is achieved by using reverse osmosis membrane, low density gasoline resistant plastic material or low molecular weight cutoff dialysis membrane to create a sealed container of the magnesium and EH-101 (HB-101) components, which can be placed into the gasoline. The EH-101 (HB-101) can be initially placed into a breakable inner compartment within the hydrogen permeable container. This compartment can be easily broken by simple squeezing just prior to placing the device into the gasoline that is intended to have its hydrogen content increased. The increased hydrogen content in the gasoline can be assessed by the increased rate of combustion of the gasoline. | 01-21-2010 |
