Hydrogen Boosted Fuel is another developing technology with great potential. 

The goal is simple. 

Reduces pollution to practically zero with a system that pays for itself by dramatically increasing mileage.

The science is simple.  Implementation has been hard.

Crude oil is refined into diesel, gas and solvents by injecting Hydrogen.  Gas is refined to burn at a 14-18% efficiency rate.  That means that 82-86% of the energy in gas goes out the tailpipe as pollution.

By creating Hydrogen (and Oxygen) through an electrolysis system under the hood of your car, and injecting the Hydrogen (and Oxygen) into the throttle body of your car, the burn efficiency approaches 90%.

That means that pollution drops to practically zero and mileage increases by 20-40%.  The mileage increase produces a 100% return-on-investment in a matter of months in commercial vehicles. 

Although the science has been around for decades, it's only in the last few months that electrolysis systems have become efficient enough to make a dramatic difference.  And with that efficiency came new challenges.

When enough Hydrogen is injected to increase the burn efficiency, the exhaust is so clean that when it passes the O2 sensors, the O2 sensors think the engine is running lean and tell the fuel computer to inject more fuel.  The O2 sensors must be "re-programmed" using an EFIE's Devise (Electronic Fuel Injection Equalizer).

The next challenge is that it is against Federal Law to modify the Federally Mandated Emissions Control devise. 

More "emissions & mileage" testing will help encourage the political winds to adjust their thinking to the new technology.  But with many new technologies, the status quo is impenetrable. 

This could be a game changer.  But the game is controlled by people capitalizing on solving a problem that doesn't exist (global warming).  A solution that is 'outside the box' is always dangerous to the static powers.

If oil no longer pollutes, it is no longer the problem.  It's the answer.  We can "drill baby drill" our way from dependence on foreign oil.  Then we can use the taxes from the increases oil production to pay down our National debt.

To better understand the importance of this new technology, consider the following.

Bio Fuels

The physics of fuels.  Diesel has 138,000 BTUs of energy per gallon; gas 125,000 BTUs, natural gas 90,000 BTUs, bio-fuel 80,000 BTUs and a car battery has 3,500 BTUs.  Natural gas needs to sell for 35% less than diesel to yield the same energy per dollar.  For Bio-fuel it’s 42% less.  And it requires 40 car batteries to yield the same energy as a gallon of diesel.

Replacing imported oil with wind power is a noble idea. 

But it will require 2.04 Trillion Dollars to buy the wind turbines.  We import 3.6 Billion barrels of oil a year.  The BOE (Barrel of oil equivalent) is 58 Million BTU per barrel.  That means that we import 208 Quadrillion BTU’s of energy.  A 600 KW wind generator produces 1.5 Million KW per year (running at the World Wide average of 28% efficiency).  1 kWh is 3,412 BTUs.  A 600 kWh wind generator produces 51.2 Billion BTUs of energy a year.  It would require 4.1 million generators to replace imported oil.  The average cost for a 600 kW generator is $500,000.  The cost for just the wind generators would be 2.04 Trillion Dollars.  Double that to include updating the grid.  Then figure out how to pay to replace all the cars…

Replacing imported oil with solar.

First, solar doesn’t like the heat of Arizona.  It loses 30% of its efficiency during summer.

I just checked “sunnyportal” and a 4 kWh system I’m monitoring produced 700 kWh in May.  To reach the BOE yield from oil imports, we will need 854 Million solar systems at a cost of $42,000 each for a total price of 36 Trillion Dollars.  Considering the Government and Power Companies rebate half, the Federal Government only needs 18 Trillion Dollars to replace imported oil with solar.  The grid, however, wouldn’t need as much work because solar can provide localized power.  But we still need to replace all those cars…
