I am interested in converting the original engine in my 1936 cabin
cruiser to burn hydrogen. What I understand to this point is that a
quick way to do this is to install a carb that is setup to burn
propane and adjust the timing for hydrogen burn rate. Is this
correct? To me the biggest stumbling block is making the hydrogen and
putting it into pressure tanks. I don't mind putting a producer on my
vessel if it is small enough (boat is 36' long) Is this a realistic
goal, or should I consider something else? (Please don't say sailboat
:-) I love my old cabin cruiser, sailboat is in the future but want to
try and see what I can do with my old engine right now) Any help
would be appreciated.
