Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies and the Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company (CHEC) have completed field testing of their HFI (hydrogen fuel injection) system specifically for cars and light trucks. HFI technology has long been used in the trucking industry to reduce diesel emissions and improve fuel mileage.

Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies is using the patented CHEC HFI technology to reduce tailpipe emissions on cars, light trucks, SUVs and minivans. Emissions such as CO, PM, HC, CO2 and NOx will be significantly reduced with this new technology.

The naysayers to this technology will be happy to learn that HFI technology is the world leader in HHO generators for long-haul transport trucks, municipal buses, ambulances and other heavy equipment. Hydrogen and oxygen are created onboard by splitting water efficiently with patented HFI electrolyzers and injecting the oxyhydrogen gas into the vehicle’s intake system.

Currently, there are over 140 certified HFI installation centers across the U. S., Canada and internationally. Expect this number to grow with the addition of HFI technology into the automobile and light truck marketplace.

Last week I talked about how the U. S. Department of Transportation has given the thumbs up to run your car on water technology. If that wasn’t enough of a smoking gun to put the critics, skeptics and other naysayers to rest, this week I’ve uncovered another government document that also validates the merits of the hydrogen gas saver.

The U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) put out a document in 1977 validating run your car on water technology. The document titled, “EMISSIONS AND TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A MULTICYLINDER PISTON ENGINE RUNNING ON GASOLINE AND A HYDROGEN-GASOLINE MIXTURE” authored by John F. Cassidy, shows how adding small amounts of hydrogen to a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine will help the engine run leaner (meaning less fuel used and more MPG’s) and reduce emissions.

In regard to using less fuel the NASA document states, “Adding small amounts of hydrogen to gasoline produced efficient lean operation by increasing the apparent flame speed and reducing ignition lag.”

In regard to lowering emissions the same document states, “Exhaust emissions levels followed the classical trends with changing equivalence ratio. Oxides-of-nitrogen emission levels at the minimum-energy-consumption equivalence ratios were appreciably lower for hydrogen-gasoline than for gasoline.”

So, this isn’t exactly new technology. NASA has know about it and written about it for at least 30 years now. Even though the public is slow to catch on, the information is out there. You just have to know where to look and to try the run your car on water technology for yourself to verify that it works.

The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has given the thumbs up to hydrogen injection technology. In an 81-page document released in November 2007, the DOT talks about how hydrogen injection (HHO gas generators) are being used in the diesel trucking industry.

But, as we already know, this technology has also been surging in smaller vehicles as well like cars, pickup trucks and SUVs. The DOT gives ultra conservative numbers when talking about gas mileage savings and emissions reduction based upon one test of a diesel powered vehicle. The DOT has some catching up to do with their facts in this area.

The document is long and I’m sure only a few interested geeks like me will read it end to end, but it does mention hydrogen injection in many passages along with fuel cell vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles that run on compressed hydrogen gas and liquid hydrogen.

The document is geared towards the safe handling of hydrogen both inside and outside of the vehicles. It mentions hydrogen injection (or hydrogen on demand) technology as one of the safest methods for using H2 since no compressed hydrogen gas is stored onboard, only water.

Water is electrolyzed on demand to create small amounts of hydrogen and oxygen, which are then ported into the vehicle’s intake system. When the vehicle is turned off, no hydrogen is being generated.

This document may just be the “smoking gun” that run your car on water advocates have been looking for in order to sway the critics and skeptics that HHO technology is indeed viable. The question is not “if” it works, but “how well”.

Well, garage inventors come in all kinds. The ones who are at a bicycle shop in Gator Country at Gainesville, Florida didn’t blink twice at putting their new hydrogen on demand system inside a Gatorade bottle. Pete Mambelli and Russ Hinojosa of Swampcycles decided to collaborate on a super secret HOD system and are currently applying for patents before they begin selling their invention commercially.

The Gatorade bottle of course is an early prototype for presumably an HHO generator as opposed to a pure hydrogen generator that the two have built and tested on a 1986 Ford Econoline 150, plus a Znen scooter. The run your car on water system effectively doubled the gas mileage in the Ford van according to the two men.

Mambelli and Hinojosa built their system for less than $100 and intend to sell future production models for around $200 to $300. The two inventors did say they blew up a few early prototypes before settling on the design they are currently using.

So, the Florida gators have better watch their backs as local future vehicles equipped with hydrogen on demand technology just may be bearing down on them soon. I wonder if Gatorade could be used as an electrolyte on their run your car on water system? Naw, that would be just plain silly.

There an article today in the News Review about a mechanic’s garage in Reno Nevada who is installing HHO generators in customer’s vehicles and reporting an average 20-percent gain in MPG. The story revolves around Donny’s 4 Wheel Drive World and says they are developing hydrogen generators for their customers who want to increase gas mileage and decrease emissions.

But, the real story is in the last paragraph of this article. Not only does it say that Donny’s has installed its hydrogen generators in over 100 customer’s vehicles, but it is also installing these HHO devices in fleet vehicles as well.

This news is big and I’ll tell you why. Fleet managers are responsible for their vehicles including management, maintenance, fueling, driver management, health and safety and many other details. It is the duty of the fleet manager to cut costs whenever possible and this includes fuel costs.

Now, according to Matt Rotter, vice president of operations at Bennett Medical Services, “We just completed a trial run with the system in one of our vehicles, and it works. We’re looking into updating the other 15 vehicles in our fleet because of the money saved on gas.”

This isn’t a group of single customers raving about run your car on water technology, but rather the person in charge of the fleet. As more fleet managers find out about the value of hydrogen boosters in saving MPGs, word will spread like wildfire and the industry is sure to take off like a rocket.

Mike Allen is a writer for both Popular Mechanics and the Boston Globe. On July 3, Allen wrote an article for PM on HHO gas savers talking trash about the technology while also admitting that he has not tested one unit to verify his opinions.

In fact, Allen stated that he will be testing this run your car on water technology soon, but has yet to come up with any results over a month later. And, yet he continues to denigrate the technology. On July 20, Allen wrote an article for the Boston Globe in question and answer style in “Drive It Forever” where he states that the output from the HHO generators is way too small for anyone to see a significant rise in gas mileage. And, this is also without testing one unit to verify his results.

On August 3, Allen continues his rant against the run your car on water technology in the same publication, saying, “Sigh. ‘A significant increase in fuel economy?’ No. Let’s do the math … Consequently the HHO is contributing a potential one-half of 1 percent to the vehicle’s fuel economy, and probably less.” And, might I remind you this conjecture is still without testing one HHO unit for accuracy.

If Mr. Allen were indeed actually test an HHO generator, he would most likely get different results than he is now theorizing. I say “theorizing” because that is what he is doing, though he speaks with authority as if he actually knows of which he speaks.

In all fairness, some people who first install run your car on water device do have lackluster or even negative results. Mostly, this is due to not using the right kind or concentration of electrolyte or by not leaning the gasoline / air mixture in the vehicle. Many vehicle’s onboard computers will sense too much O2 in the HHO gas and compensate by making the gasoline / air mixture richer.

This will need to be scaled back and leaned out because of the HHO gas that is now burning inside the cylinders. Once this has been accomplished most users report results in the 10-percent to 50-percent or better mileage improvement range.

Delayers and deniers such as Mr. Allen need to start the conversation not with, “It won’t work” but rather with, “Well, I tried it and this is what I’ve found so far.” This is a more scientific and credible approach than trying to disprove the theory to thousands of people with tangible results to show that run your car on water technology does indeed work.

A mechanic in East Hartford, Connecticut named Bruce White has designed a run your car on water unit that he says is getting 60-percent increase gas mileage. White’s test vehicle is a 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier which gets 22 mpg highway without the hydrogen generator and 36 mpg with the hydrogen on demand device installed.

Mr. White doesn’t claim to be doing anything new accept assembling the needed parts in one package and installing the run your car on water technology if desired by his customers. He said the total cost for parts and installation will be around $800 to $900 depending upon the vehicle.

White is forming his own company to package and sell the HHO generators online and expects to have a viable commercial Internet product within the next six months.

Now, how can you argue with a pastor, a man of the cloth, a do-gooder among all do-gooders? A Pennsylvania pastor in Beaver Springs named Reverend Frank Trego, has installed a run your can on water device on his 1994 Lincoln Town Car and swears by it.

In fact, Reverend Trego has upped his mileage from 20 mpg to 33.9 mpg just by installing an HHO generator upon his car. And, being a giver, the Reverend is also installing these devices free upon the cars and trucks of family and friends.

With gasoline prices surging, Reverend Trego dug into an old pile of book found one called “Fuel from Water,” by Michael E. Peavey. He then went to recreate the hydrogen gas saver from the instructions in this book. From the looks of the device it is eerily similar to the eBook we are promoting on the upper right side of this page.

Now while the critics are quoting the laws of thermodynamics, here is a small town pastor building hydrogen boosters free for family and friends out of the goodness of his heart and advocating for the technology’s gas saving benefits. It’s not blind faith that makes hydrogen fuel injection work. All it takes is a little motivation, a little inspiration and a willingness to get your hands dirty for a few minutes.

Fox News in Spokane, Washington is reporting that run your car on water technology works and is being implemented by a mechanic in Mesa, Arizona. After Fox ran the story I called the owner and main mechanic Steve Stich myself to talk to him about his invention.

Located near Phoenix and Tempe, Mr. Stich of the Arizona Free Gas Company says that some of the vehicles he has installed the HHO generator upon have received as much as 40-percent in gasoline savings. Stich also says that he offers a free inspection, there is no one-size-fits-all hydrogen on demand unit, he is currently not offering Internet sales and that he uses a professional dealer level scan tool to check his results.

The Fox story has a quality video showing Mr. Stich installing a run your car on water device on a Ford Expedition. The reporter also interviewed a customer who took a 256 mile road trip who can verify that he saved between $70 and $80 by using the hydrogen and oxygen generator (oxyhydrogen generator).

The Fox News story is only one of a handful that the mainstream media has done on these hydrogen gas saving devices. In times such as these, with gasoline still over $4 per gallon, more mainstream media outlets need to pick up on the HHO generator trend and run with it. All this will do is save on gasoline and sticker shock at the pumps.

The New Zealand Automobile Association (AA) similar to AAA in the United States has chosen to buy into the HHO myth instead of fact. According to Rachael Salt of the AA (an appropriate name given that some people use sodium hydroxide or NaOH as an electrolyte), “HHO has a negative net energy ratio.” Really? And, where do you get your proof for that statement?

In fact, she has none. Once again, a so-called spokesperson for a large automotive entity is confusing the mythical 100-percent water powered perpetual motion machine with a gasoline-powered car that uses a small amount of water in its gaseous state as supplemental fuel.

What is even better is that in this same article, a so-called veteran technology writer, a Mr. Bruce Simpson states my favorite quote from critics that the HHO generator, “…defies the laws of thermodynamics. You can’t run a car on something that has a negative net energy ratio. People are sucked in and they trick themselves into believing it uses less fuel.” Oh, really?

Once again, here is a so-called automotive expert misunderstanding and perpetuating his ignorance about what an HHO generator is and is not and quoting the laws of thermodynamics as proof. Once again to be clear, an HHO generator is an aftermarket fuel additive device. It is not a 100-percent water car. It does not violate the laws of thermodynamics.

With so many so-called experts perpetuating this same myth, it is no wonder that the growth of the HHO industry has been stunted and delayed. But, not everyone, thank goodness is buying into what the critics are blathering about. Thousands of drivers have decided to test the HHO generators for themselves with positive results.

But, just like many other devices on the market, the results of the HHO devices will vary and sometimes widely depending upon a number of factors, such as make and model of vehicle, electrolyte used, whether the vehicle uses a carburetor or fuel injection system and whether an EFIE, MAP or other computer controlled device is used to lean the gas and oxygen mixture.

But, this comes down to not if the HHO generator works, but how well your particular model works. And, this is really the only valid question one needs to ask.
