What?

We achieved engine firing with a 150 cc, two valve engine (the SV150 by Mountfield) fuelled by running on hydrogen gas and air mixture.

  • Capacity 148cc
  • Net Power Output 3.5 horsepower i.e. 2.6 kilowatts @ ~3600rpm

Hydrogen use in a Combustion Engine

Definitions

  • Phi is the 'equivalence ratio' which is the actual air/fuel ratio divided by the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio. If the value for phi is less than one, the mixture has excess air and therefore is lean. If the value for phi is greater than one, the mixture has excess fuel and therefore rich.
