Реферат: A hydrogen and natural gas fuel mixture (16) for internal combustion engines is provided for vehicle engines such as those used in standard production engines (10) for automobiles, trains, and lawn mowers. The gaseous fuel (16) for operating vehicle combustion engines (10) includes approximately 21 to 50 % Hydrogen and the rest natural gas constituents such as combinations of Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Ethane, Propane, Iso-Butane, N-Butane, Ipso-Pentane, N-Pentane and Hexans Plus. A fuel mixture of approximately 28 to 36 percent Hydrogen and an air fuel equivalence ratio of approximately 0.625 is an extreme lean burn condition that yields hydrocarbon emission levels of less than approximately 104 ppm (0.84 gm/hp hr.). Current internal combustion engines that are in mass production can take this alternative fuel without any substantial modificatrons to their systems. This alternative fuel is lean burning and emits emissions that are below current legal standards. The novel fuel mixture can be used in internal combustion engines for automobiles, lawn mowers and trains. A control system (14) for allowing the internal combustion engines (10) to operate at extreme lean burn conditions is also provided for use with both a carburetor and fuel injection system.
