Automobile engine oil stays clean and lasts long - reducing the need for frequent oil changing and cutting waste oil disposal problems. AquaFuel combustion creates lower exhaust gas and engine oil temperatures - helping to preserve oil integrity while the system runs cooler than burning gasoline in the same engine producing nearly the same power. Hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen are the dominant atomic components in AquaFuel. While pure hydrogen should be looked to as the ultimate fuel of the future, many technical hurdles need to be overcome before hydrogen can be useful as a general purpose fuel. Hydrogen does not burn well in conventional internal combustion engines because of high combustion temperatures which lead to a host of problems including the creation of nitrogen oxides - proven pollutants.
Most commercial hydrogen used today is found with or made from fossil fuels such as natural gas.
Hydrogen is very expensive to produce by other methods and it is difficult to store sufficient heat energy power in view of the very low energy density of even highly compressed hydrogen gas. Today, vehicles equipped to run on natural gas can run on compressed AquaFuel. While natural gas is among the cleanest burning vehicle fuels, it still is an air polluting fuel and can't be manufactured locally on-site at refueling stations. AquaFuel may eventually be produced on-board and only when needed to power the engine. Ships would need only to stock-up on carbon, since water is readily available.
