Steven Elsworth with the Tesla society can supply you with info on this.
It has been developed and last I heard was being put in a RR aircraft
engine. Don't know the outcome but haven't heard a word since the demo.
He had over come the problem of the extreme heat that hydrogen burns at.
The device was just like a spark plug. Conversion to normal engines was
simple. No storage of hydrogen in a tank and no danger of buildup. You
just put water in the tank instead of gas. The water was routed to the
device in its normal manner. It even produced it's own electricity at
the
plug. The biggest problem he solved and that was how do you keep the
engine block from melting due to the temp hydrogen burns. I was
impressed.
