What NASA Says About Adding Supplemental Hydrogen to Engines: "Lean-mixture-ratio combustion in internal-combustion engines has the potential of producing low emissions and higher thermal efficiency for several reasons. First, excess oxygen in the charge further oxidizes unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Second, excess oxygen lowers the peak combustion temperatures, which inhibits the formation of oxides of nitrogen. Third, the lower combustion temperatures increase the mixture specific heat ratio by decreasing the net dissociation losses. Fourth, as the specific heat ratio increases, the cycle thermal efficiency also increases, which gives the potential for better fuel economy." "The results were used to explain the advantages of adding hydrogen to gasoline as a method of extending the lean operating range. The minimum-energy-consumption equivalence ratio was extended to leaner conditions by adding hydrogen, although the minimum energy consumption did not change. All emission levels decreased at the leaner conditions. Also, adding hydrogen significantly increased flame speed over all equivalence ratios." From NASA Technical Note D-8487, March 15, 1977, titled "EMISSIONS AND TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A MULTICYLINDER PISTON ENGINE RUNNING ON GASOLINE AND A HYDROGEN-GASOLINE MIXTURE".

Proven Technology

NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, D.C.]
In their Technical Note Report E-9105 from May 1977, NASA says:
"Adding hydrogen to gasoline significantly increased flame speed and allows for a leaner air-fuel ratio. All emissions levels decreased at these leaner conditions. ...significantly increased flame speed and allows for a leaner air/fuel ratio. All emissions levels decreased at these leaner conditions." 

California Environmental Engineering (CEE)
"CEE feels that the result of this test verifies that this technology is a viable source for reducing emissions and fuel consumption on large diesel engines."

The American Hydrogen Association Test Lab
"Emissions test results indicate that a decrease of toxic emissions". Zero emissions were observed on CO (carbon oxide).

The Society of Automotive Engineers (Troy, Michigan)
If you were under the impression that American automotive engineers (Detroit) are unaware of the benefits of hydrogen-on-demand, here's a wake-up pile of evidence; just a few of the many references from their official publications of the last 35 years!!! Proof that they KNOW all about it but say noting to the public:

U.S. Department of Transportation
Do THEY know about hydrogen on demand? You be the judge of that -- here's what they say in their extensive and official publication "Guidelines For The Use Of Hydrogen Fuel In Commercial Trucks, Final Report", November 2007:
"Onboard electrolyzers are used with hydrogen injection systems for diesel engines. In this case, only a small amount of hydrogen and oxygen are produced to supplement, not replace, the diesel fuel used in the engine. The electricity to operate the electrolyzer is typically supplied by the engine's alternator or 12/24-VDC electrical system."

Skeptical?

I was skeptical too, back in 2006, when an experimenter told me about his success with 12 test cars. If you are still skeptical in any way, feel free to attend one of our local events for a live demonstration (see "Events" section). Most of us were skeptical until we tested it and saw the results in our own cars and trucks. So we checked it out!

I have been showing my own Water4Gas hydrogen-hybrid car in Los Angeles for the past 3 years. I have found that it's a great way of representing myself and the technology at the same time.

How to Know More

However, if you cannot attend one of our events, read the next page and you'll understand how simple and real this technology is. You don't have to be a NASA scientist to understand Water4Gas. Enjoy!
