Hydrogen cell technology. Fact or Fiction?

Posted by admin on 19 May 2010

So does it work, or does it not, this whole hydrogen assisting thing? And just what exactly is it? And if it isn’t just pie in the sky, why aren’t more people doing it for themselves, or even the automakers?

Hydrogen Boosting is simply feeding hydrogen fuel into your gasoline engine, thus getting better gas mileage. Usually, people electrically split water into its components of hydrogen and oxygen, and feed the mix directly into their carburetor. Does it honestly work? Yes, even the government admits it (http://www.EvergreenGasLabs.com/hydrogen-government-report.pdf), and it works like this.

Since hydrogen burns so much faster than gasoline, and in the presence of Oxygen literally explodes, feeding a hydrogen/oxygen mixture of air into your engine does several things.First, it in essence, turns the entire cylinder into one massive spark plug. This increases the gasoline’s combustion rate, thus producing higher pressure (increasing torque), better and more complete combustion (improving mpg), and lower average overall engine temperature (longer engine life).

So why don’t more people try it, or at least a couple of the big auto makers?

In short, producing hydrogen efficiently and reliably from water can be a notoriously tricky process due to several things. 1. The steel elements inside the cell must be able to resist lye and/or acidic corrosion. 2. The plastic of the cell must also resist corrosion while handling up to several hundred degrees that the process can generate. 3. The electrolyte can’t freeze in cold weather. 4. An automatic fill system must keep the cells filled at the right water/electrolyte level. 5. An isolation relay and safety fuses or circut breakers must be used. 6. The cell must be kept below its thermal and electrical runaway threshold. 7. A bubbler or effective spark arrestor must be used to prevent engine backfire from exploding the cells. 8. The best cells use either strong lye or sulfuric acid, both of which are dangerous to handle, and require extra care and safety features to handle. There’s other minor things as well to consider, but these are the big ones.

There’s also the issue that the car makers simply don’t want you to get better mileage. Why else do they only improve it when the government tells them to?

And thirdly, watching a water gauge and filling it occasionally does add maintenance to a vehicle, and make it less convenient to own and operate.

So what are we doing about all these issues here at http://www.EvergreenGasLabs.com?

We use high quality stainless steel, 316 at the minimum. We have found ways to keep hydrogen cells cool through circulation and heat sinks. We generally perfer full strength sodium hydroxide ourselves instead of sulfuric acid in the cells, mostly because it is slightly less corrosive than sulfuric acid, and is also generally easier to neutralize. We use a design that we developed ourselves to maximizes hydrogen production efficiency. To adequately resist the internal heat, and to shield the cells from external impacts, we use two different types of plastic bonded together. We isolate the cells with a power relay and fuses. We have a unique system to keep our cells adequately filled. We use a special blend of antifreeze to keep our cells from freezing up in the winter, without lowering the cell’s efficiency. And we’ve also implemented lots of other little tweaks that make the technology finally feasible. If we figured it out, other people can too. Of course we’ve road tested our various designs, tried numerous different ideas, and researched lots of different ways to do things, but I repeat, if we can do it, anyone can.

Which leaves us with one last question. If the technology works this well, then what are YOU going to do about it? Will you continue to throw your gas money away, or will you investigate it for yourself, and start saving some money today?

Is Hydrogen Fuel A Way To Increase Milage?

The price of gas is increasing almost every year and the effects are greatly felt especially by the less fortunate people. You see, when the price of gas increases, the prices of basic commodities also increase. With prices of commodities soaring high, you will definitely need to save money so that you can prepare yourself for the ‘rainy days’. One way to save money is by purchasing hydrogen fuel car kits.

What are hydrogen fuel car kits? If you’re familiar with hydrogen technology, then you probably know about cars that make use of hydrogen fuel. If the price of gas becomes unreasonable, more and more people will want to use alternative fuel. The reason why gas prices are always increasing is because oil reserves are depleting. Besides, if people can find a cleaner alternative fuel, why use gas at all? Gas contributes to pollution and one way to reduce pollution is by using hydrogen fuel.

You can now get the hydrogen fuel car kits in major online stores and local stores. Steve Miers is the man behind the car kits which can help you convert your car into a hydrogen car. You can get two benefits in using hydrogen fuel for cars – one is that you can cut down your gasoline expenses and secondly, you can help in preventing or reducing pollution. As long as your car is working in excellent condition, you can convert to using the car kits.

Improve mileage now by purchasing the hydrogen fuel car kits. The car kits are reasonably priced and if you’re lucky enough, you can even find good deals especially from online stores. You must ensure that you’re purchasing a good hydrogen fuel car kit. It should be of the best quality so buy only from reputable sellers and distributors.

Check the background of the stores as well as their suppliers. A lot of unscrupulous individuals and groups roam the internet; so beware of scammers. Some of them will tell you that you can run your car on water! This is simply not true. What they mean is hydrogen - not water!

At present, the production of hydrogen powered cars is limited due to limited sources of hydrogen fuel. There are very few hydrogen stations in some parts of the world. Besides, the use of gas can’t just be toppled over. There may come a time when hydrogen powered cars will find more acceptance than today. Considering the excessive pollution and global warming, hydrogen technology will benefit everyone.

If you like to do DIY activities, the water fuel cell kits will keep you occupied. The kit is equipped with step by step instructions on how to convert your car. The materials needed are also included in the kit and so you will simply assemble them. Take time to understand the procedure. You must not make a mistake. So before you go to your car, read the instructions first.

When you’re ready, put all the materials needed near the car and within easy reach. Assemble them carefully; double check to avoid mistakes.

When installation is complete you are able to use your car as you normally would. You simply have to make a one-time investment by purchasing the car kits and after that, you can save a lot of money and at the same time, double or even triple mileage.
