A process is described for effecting the combustion of a novel aqueous fuel in an internal-combustion engine having one or more combustion chambers, a system for introducing the fuel, for receiving and mixing the said fuel and the combustion air and introducing this fuel and air mixture into the combustion chamber or chambers, and a system for producing an electrical discharge in the said combustion chamber or chambers, which consists in: a) introducing combustion air in controlled quantities into the said fuel-introduction system; b) introducing the said aqueous fuel into the fuel- introduction system in order to mix it with the combustion air, the aqueous fuel consisting of approximately 20% by volume to approximately 80% by volume of water and a liquid or gaseous carbon-containing material; and c) introducing the said aqueous fuel and combustion air into the combustion chamber or chambers and effecting the combustion of said aqueous fuel and combustion air therein in the presence of a hydrogen-producing catalyst, in order to make the said engine work, this combustion being initiated by an electrical discharge generated in the combustion chamber or chambers. The use of the novel aqueous fuel, whose preparation is also described, produces approximately the same power as an equal volume of gasoline. |
