What if there was a way to reduce greenhouse gasses from diesel engines while
Edited on Sat Apr-23-11 08:28 AM by HysteryDiagnosis
increasing fuel economy by roughly 10 percent? Would the government get behind it? Would BP proudly acclaim the benefits?? Would the President even say hmmmmm? Would the big three see the superiority to their obscenely complicated emissions systems? It might not happen today, but it will happen I promise you. 10 percent fuel savings on a rig, ship or train is a huge chunk of change.

The Hy-Drive HGS® is a hydrogen generator system that injects small amounts of hydrogen gas, on demand, into the combustion chamber of a vehicle’s engine. The enriched air/fuel mixture burns more efficiently, extracting more clean energy from the fuel while reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

2. I saw a jerry-rigged version of this on a gas engine.
The guy who built it said it increased his mileage 20-25%. It used battery power to separate water into its constituents & then fed the H2 into the carburetor, where it acted as a catalyst. The boost in energy wasn't just from burning the H2; it came from the catalytic effects of the gas in the combustion of the complex hydrocarbons.

8. That was Hy-Drive, now you have Blutip which is using ECM's, heated delivery
hoses, software, and a much more sophisticated looking generation unit.

6. It befuddles my understanding. I just can't see how it does what it does but I
am ecstatic to know that it can do what they say. I want one NOW, not 30 years from now, RIGHT NOW.
