Besides the obvious appearance of the subject. No one commenting so far seems to see the difference here. IE7 defaulting to MSN "IS" a Microsoft business unite. Firefox "IS NOT" in any way a business entity of Google, nor is Safari, Opera or any other. They have to pay when that search bar is used. Remember the story about how much the Mozilla foundation (what ever their name is ) received from Google searches?
Mozilla/Firefox/Opera/Safari not including MSN or defaulting to Google is not a monopoly practice, while Microsoft using their Browser to Control 9X% of the users in the world to use their search engine either "is" or "looks" (aka looks like a duck, walks like a duck... ) like a monopoly practice.
This is similar to Propane injection which exist today. Except that you have to carry a bottle of Propane with you! Diesels have gotten more efficient with technology like common rail injection which is injecting fuel at PSI levels raching 20k+ PSI . The black smoke of days past and grey smoke of newer units, is unburn fuel. By injecting at this level many of the newer systems can inject up to 5 times per stroke. This enables the fuel to not just get in the piston but to get there when it will be burned the best. Sometimes this timing is at the cost of Preformance. My Truck a Chevy Duramax can be reprogramed to adjust the injection timing and I will get better Fuel milage AND power which seems odd at first but it is at the cost of some emisions. Propane is slower burning than Diesel and continues to release the unburned fuel through the stroke of the piston as its burn window is longer.
Currently the emissions timing are likely a balence of Power and emissions (and fuel economy) even in big trucks. If you can burn up otherwise unburned fuel with Hydrogen then you can likley tune the emisions for more power as well. The net result could be 1) more Power from Hydrogen, 2) more power from Fuel otherwise not burned, 3)emisions that are not any worse to better, and possibley reduced oversite from goverment about emmisions or reduced road taxes. Oh yea and a saving at the pump.
One more thing, the heat. Diesels require high heat. Since it is the compression of the contents of the piston chamber reaching a high enough tempature that it ignights from heat not spark. Consider that Diesels run at compression rations that are only in race engins on the Gas side of the engines. Similar compression rations would require racing fuel in a Gasser to avoid it "Dieseling"/Spark knoking/Pinging. Extra heat in the engine is not such a problem within reason. It is in the exaust where it starts to be a problem in my experience. White hot pipe on a "big rig" is a problem.
