Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9527845A1] A process for operating a combustion engine (300) which comprises the steps of converting a fuel precursor containing hydrogen to produce substantial amounts of engine-fuel containing free hydrogen and combusting substantial amounts of engine-fuel as a stratified-charge fuel within each combustion chamber of the engine (300). Waste energy resources selected from the group including engine-cooling-system heat (14), exhaust-gas heat (22), and stopping energy (380), are utilized to produce engine-fuel from feedstocks selected from the group (of Equations 1-14) including fuel alcohols, phenols, ammonia, ammonium compounds, gasoline, diesel fuel, cyanoacetic acid, cyanocarbons, carbon, and water. Fuel delivery is preferably as a stratified charge by instrumented fuel injector (40) to the combustion chamber during compression conditions of engine operations (by engine 300) and when this is not practical as a result of fuel pressure loss due to storage depletion or fuel pressurization system failure, fuel delivery during intake conditions of the combustion chamber are practiced.
