So does it, or does it not work, this whole hydrogen boosting thing? And just what exactly is it? And if it does work so well, why aren’t more people trying it, or 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 truly 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 pure hydrogen/oxygen mix of air into your engine does several things for you.First, in essence, it turns the entire cylinder into one oversize, super spark plug chamber. This greatly increases the gasoline’s combustion rate, thus producing higher pressure and torque, better and more complete combustion, and lower average overall engine temperature.

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 remain below its thermal 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.

Secondly, there’s also the major issue where car makers just plain 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 as well each time you gas up, 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 implemented ways to keep our hydrogen cells cool through using both 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 caustic than sulfuric acid, and is generally easier to neutralize. We developed our own design to maximize hydrogen production and efficiency while keeping costs, weight, and heat down. To handle both the internal heat, and the external impact resistance that the cells should have, we use two different types of plastic in conjunction with each other. We isolate cells from the system with a power relay and fuse. We have a unique system to keep our cells adequately filled. We use a special blend of chemicals as an antifreeze to keep our cells from freezing in the winter, without lowering the cell’s efficiency. And we’ve also implemented lots of other little tricks and tweaks that help make the technology doable. We think that if we could do it, any one can, one way or the other. Of course we’ve road tested lots of various designs, tried different ideas, and researched tons of different ways to do things, but I repeat, if we can do it, anyone can.

Which leaves us with one final question. If the technology works, 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?
