Truck owners are facing a dilemma.
With the current high fuel prices, fueling up has become an expensive ordeal.
Due to its high engine capacity and weight, a truck will achieve a lower vehicle mileage compared to other cars.
If fuel prices go any higher, most drivers would have to abandon their vehicle and use public transportation.
Unfortunately, this option may not be feasible for truck owners because they will need their vehicle to ferry heavy loads.
One suggestion to reduce gas cost is to find an alternative fuel for trucks.
One option is to use hydrogen gas (H2).
This article will present some information about the science behind this form of energy.
Hydrogen is one of the most abundant gas in the universe.
It has high burning rate and its qualities are perfect as an alternative fuel source for trucks.
To use H2 on vehicle, an electrolysis device would have to be attached to the engine.
Electrolysis is a process that remove hydrogen gas from water by passing electricity current through it.
The H2 generated is to be channeled into the air intake system.
From there, it will be sucked into the combustion chambers and mixed with gasoline vapor.
Hydrogen gas is three times more puissant than fossil fuel and the power generated from the explosion in the engine is much greater.
In theory, when a truck is using the same amount of fuel and achieving higher engine output, it is capable of traveling further hence increasing its mileage and saving cost.
As an added benefit, the only by product from using hydrogen as an alternative fuel is pure water vapor discharges into the exhaust pipe.
To convert a truck to run on alternative fuel is not difficult.
The electrolysis device can be built with parts available from a hardware store.
Other components such as rubber hoses, fasteners, clippers etc are not expensive.
Generally, the whole conversion process can be done with a budget of less than $150.
