Yes, "books" per se, but not e-books. I've got a couple of ebooks on this stuff.
I know a lot of guys here (I'm talking about 4) who have each independently built their own generators. One of them is rigged up on a newer EFI vehicle and runs solely hydrogen- the fuel injectors are basically inoperative and the hydrogen is fed into the intake plenum. He has had to modify the computer though to compensate for the mixture and timing.... biggest drawback is heat- generator runs HOT and engine runs TOO HOT!
Another guy I know (personal friend) is working on his own version to use on carbureted vehicles, which essentially produces gasoline-hydrogen hybrids- this equals the effect of about 30-50mpg on an old car. One of mine in fact, a 1954 chevrolet has gotten about 35 mpg on test runs using his prototype system. Considering the original mileage was about 15MPG, huge improvement.
The main trouble is that hydrogen does not provide a satisfactory amount of upper valve lubrication and really causes a lot of oil consumption problems after only about 15,000 miles of use.
The car companies can
not simply 'market' systems like this as these systems have already been patented, the trouble is that the patents are bought up by "interested parties" and essentially 'shelved' so the technology cannot be developed.
It's like there's an entire 'subculture' of people fed up with buying gas and are taking things into their own hands to find a practical alternative- the hydrogen technology has been around since the mid 1930s so this is nothing "new".... it's just, yet again, nothing that you're going to find 'mainstream.' Trust me on this, I was amazed when I first got into this a couple of years ago and now at the increasing number of people building and using these systems. Of course, again, these cannot be 'marketed' to the public for obvious copyright infringements.
What a world.
Nate, I know this is considered off topic (thought it is technically 'what I'm reading
) so if you'd like to discuss it more I think it ought to be moved to a new thread because I think there are lots of points we can explore from our firsthand experiences.......
