Abstract: A fuel supply system (1) is disclosed for use with an internal combustion engine or a fuel cell system (408). The fuel supply system may include a water supply (4) for supplying water; a fuel supply (3) for supplying fuel; a fuel reformer (10) including an air inlet (52,70) converts the water, air, and fuel into hydrogen and byproducts, and supplies the hydrogen to combustion chambers (2) of an internal combustion engine; and an injector subsystem (5) coupled to the water supply injects water into the combustion chambers following ignition of the hydrogen in the combustion chambers. The fuel supply system may include a water recovery subsystem (6) coupled to an exhaust output (9) of the internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine producing an exhaust including water vapor and CO 2 , the water recovery subsystem comprising a filter (13) for removing CO 2 , from the water vapor.

Abstract: A fuel supply system (1) is disclosed for use with a vehicle propulsion system (2) such as an internal combustion engine or a fuel cell system. The fuel supply system (1) includes a water supply (4), a fuel supply (3), and a fuel conversion device (10) coupled to the water and fuel supplies for generating hydrogen from the water and fuel and supplying the hydrogen to an intake manifold of the propulsion system (2) with which the fuel supply system (1) is used. The fuel conversion device (1) preferably includes a vaporization chamber (65), an inlet nozzle (60) for introducing fine droplets of fuel and water into the vaporization chamber (65), an air inlet (52) for introducing air into the vaporization chamber (65) to create turbulence in the chamber (65), a heater (30, 32) in the vaporization chamber for heating the turbulent fuel/water mix at temperatures that cause the mix to convert into hydrogen, and an outlet for supplying the generated hydrogen and air to the vehicle propulsion system (4).
