Website design By BotEap.com“Hydrogen on demand” refers to any system that has incorporated a process to break down water molecules into combustible hydrogen gas and then direct that gas to an internal combustion engine. The hydrogen release technology itself has been around for 75 years, but early versions required a massive structure to get the job done.

Website design By BotEap.comOver time, as the knowledge base has grown and new technologies have emerged, entrepreneurs have found increasingly efficient ways to produce this hydrogen from water. Today there are dozens of products that use this technology, including high-temperature welding machines.

Website design By BotEap.comHydrogen gas is highly flammable and produces more heat and less pollution than comparable amounts of gasoline. It burns cleanly in virtually any type of internal combustion engine and produces almost zero pollution. We don’t see as much in the US, but in Europe (where gasoline is much more expensive) hydrogen has been used as a car fuel for decades.

Website design By BotEap.comThe main barrier to hydrogen being more widely used as an automotive fuel in this country is distribution. The US Department of Energy has a website that lists all hydrogen filling stations in the US. Only one state, California, has more than 20 hydrogen locations, thirteen others have ten or fewer stations. and the other 39 states have no distribution.

Website design By BotEap.comThe point is that hydrogen as a motor fuel is already widely accepted around the world and increasingly in the US. It is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels and it DOES NOT POLLUTE. It’s cheaper to make than oil, but then you have to worry about how to store it and how to transport it.

Website design By BotEap.comThat’s why “hydrogen on demand” (also called “water fuel”) is gaining such rapid exposure. The most popular and easy-to-implement version doesn’t try to power your car entirely with hydrogen. It relies on a “boost” that produces a small amount of hydrogen to boost the gas mix your car is already using. When it works well, it allows individual drivers to continuously produce their own supply of hydrogen under their own hood, using (get this!) distilled water and baking soda! The result of that hydrogen infusion is improved fuel efficiency, sometimes as much as twice the MPG, but more routinely something in the 30 – 50% higher efficiency range.

Website design By BotEap.comHow does a hydrogen “booster” work?

Website design By BotEap.comThe electrolysis that takes place inside the booster produces hydrogen gas (HHO). HHO gas is supplied to the engine through the air intake manifold and vacuum lines that provide air to the combustion chamber. This hydrogen-enhanced air helps gasoline burn more efficiently, while producing its own combustion. That extra combustion of the hydrogen gives you more power and ultimately requires less gasoline to run your engine, resulting in better gas mileage.

Website design By BotEap.comIt seems as if this process violates the laws of physics, but it does not. The simple design of the booster makes some people question its ability to produce enough hydrogen. But we’ve known for years (75 of them!) that splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis is entirely doable. The combination of the electrolyte added to the water, the electricity supplied by the battery, and the vacuum created within the impeller does the job efficiently at a level that works well for a single motor.

Website design By BotEap.comHasn’t hydrogen on demand been disproved in the past?

Website design By BotEap.comThis technology has been around for a long time. A certain version has been around for over 75 years. And while there have been issues with various products and releases, the technology itself is solid.

Website design By BotEap.comTwo things illustrate how reliable this technology is. One, the International Space Station has been using hydrogen on demand to run the space station since its launch. Second, major car manufacturers such as Honda and BMW have already developed their own versions of HOD vehicles. Unfortunately for us consumers, these cars aren’t being developed in quantity yet, and when they are, it will cost around $45,000 to buy one. Oh! So the problem is not with the technology itself, but with the programs and products used to deliver this technology to consumers.

Website design By BotEap.comIn the end, the real question is: “Does it work to improve fuel efficiency?” And there are very good reasons to ask that question.

Recently, Matt Simmons, an international authority on the global energy situation, said in an interview with CNBC that $6 a gallon gasoline was inevitable, it was just a matter of how many months we are away from it. At that price, it will cost almost $100 to fill up a minivan.

Major oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia and Mexico are already starting to split which country gets what part of their production. Unfortunately for the US, in countries like China and India, the demand for oil is expanding at a meteoric rate and they are willing to pay more for it.

Hurricane damage to refineries resulted in extreme gasoline shortages for 23 states, lasting up to three weeks. No new refineries have been built in the US since 1979, and during that same time, the number of operating refineries has been cut in half. Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah, visiting the president at his Texas ranch on April 25, chided him with the message that his country could send more oil, but the United States would not have the ability to refine it.

Website design By BotEap.comA perfect storm is brewing regarding gas prices and availability. Improving fuel efficiency is not just a good idea, it will soon be a financial and practical necessity. Automakers are years away from bringing models to market that dramatically improve efficiency, and even when they do, it doesn’t do anything for all of us who can’t afford to pay $35,000 for a new car.

Website design By BotEap.comHydrogen On Demand is a readily available and highly cost-effective technology that delivers those efficiencies and savings now, not 10 years from now. That’s a very good reason to give it a serious look. All reputable companies that sell HOD information and products offer a 100% guarantee, so there is no reason not to give it a try.
