We are working on hydrogen based car engine. Engine is almost ready but problem is that our device which intakes water as fuel and break it into two parts of hydrogen and oxygen is not very compact and we can not install in a compact car. We need someone who can guide us.

Split it through electrolysis. Of course, you'll need a source of electricity, like battery power, but this is for demonstration purposes, right?

to obtain the hydrogen and oxygen, you need to take 2 try-tubes with caps, fill them with water so as that there is not any air interior them, and positioned them upside-down over the electrodes so as that the hydrogen and oxygen gases, lighter than water, upward thrust to the "suitable" of the try tubes. when you're performed the test, cap the try tubes previously removing them from the water. (word that as quickly as adequate hydrogen has accrued in the try tube, it is going to start to waft and additionally you will possibly be able to desire to maintain it down in case you desire extra.) those gases would be saturated with water. i'm sorry - there is not any way of removing the water (in the lab it fairly is finished by potential of passing the gasoline via lime or some thing like that, which will take up water, yet you will no longer be able to truly try this, on the grounds which you haven't got lines.) Hydrogen and oxygen gasoline do no longer integrate effortlessly through fact the H-H and O=O bonds are extremely reliable, which makes the reaction kinetically very sluggish. An explosion will certainly take place in case you mild the hydrogen with a tournament. this is a threat to get hydrogen to burn easily in oxygen - you're able to do it with a Bunsen burner (yet you will desire a lot of hydrogen). yet in any different case, which I regrettably do no longer think of would be possible for you, is to apply platinum gauze, that's a catalyst for very nearly any reaction regarding molecular hydrogen.

Electrolysis or some chemical reactions which liberate hydrogen by taking the oxygen are the options. The hydrogen collected could be compressed (rather dangerous) or be adsorbed and then deadsorbed. Do some online search for ideas which are practicable for you.

My understanding of the technology involved with Hydrogen power is that you have to expend more energy to separate the the elements from the water than you get from it when you run it through your engine. So you're not gaining anything by having both processes in one unit.
I'd like to hear more about this project.

So lets see...
You are combining H2 and O2 to make water in your engine. You need to have a H2 tank and use air for O2.
If you are seriously thinking of using water as your fuel...

hi there i have been working on this for 7 year and acheived no progress
BMW stated 100 million dollers for this and nothing yet it consumes time and mony alot of mony
check BMW web site you will find stuff about that it might help u
good luck
