HyPower Develops Hydrogen Technology to Power Vehicle from Water
HyPower Fuel Inc. claims to have run a Volkswagen GTi on its H2 Reactor
hydrogen system that can allegedly produce sufficient hydrogen on demand, from
water, to power the vehicle's internal combustion engine.
From press release: (Interview pending)
HyPower Fuel Inc has been developing a
hydrogen assist technology for several years, in which a retrofit
device, the HyPower Pac, is fitted to an engine, and the H/O gas
is injected into the air intake to enhance fuel economy. |

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, USA -- HyPower Fuel Inc. (OTCPK:HYPF) is pleased to
announce that the company has equipped a Volkswagen GTi with its H2 Reactor
(H2R) hydrogen system that can produce sufficient hydrogen on board, on demand
to power the vehicle using only water. The H2 Reactor uses the process of
electrolysis to convert water into a hydrogen/oxygen gas which is then used to
power its original internal combustion engine.
HyPower believes that its H2 Reactors electrolysis process is the most
efficient to date with an unprecedented ratio of hydrogen production to
electrical input. Currently the H2 Reactor requires 1 watt hour to produce 1
liter of hydrogen. This is approximately 2 to 2.5 times more efficient than the
current performance of competing technologies.
This is an extremely significant advance in that a vehicle with a standard
internal combustion engine can be powered with hydrogen produced onboard as
needed. Other hydrogen vehicles require special storage tanks to supply the
highly compressed gas to the engine. This is not yet a practical application as
there are simply very few available refueling stations for these vehicles,
said Mr. Doug Bender, President of HyPower.
We have now successfully created a situation where a car could run on water
and produce virtually no harmful emissions or greenhouse gases. We will continue
to beta test the H2R system to strive for increased efficiency, Mr. Bender
added.
Management is quick to point out that these are preliminary laboratory results
using prototype H2R units and will require considerable improvements before any
practical transportation application can become a reality. The company plans to
host a number of live demonstrations in early 2007 with independent experts in
attendance to monitor and verify resulting data.
This new technology, used in conjunction with this vehicle is to us like the
Kittyhawk was to the Wright brothers. It didnt fly very far but it was a
start and paved the way to modern aviation as we know it today, exclaimed
Doug Bender.
About HyPower Fuel, Inc.:
HyPower Fuel, Inc. is a category leading company in the energy technology
sector, focusing on providing innovative alternative energy through hydrogen
production and hydrogen related products. HyPower has successfully
commercialized the integration of hydrogen production and hydrogen insertion
technologies using electrolysis to improve the overall performance and
efficiency of the internal combustion engine while burning gasoline, diesel,
natural gas, liquid propane, ethanol, methanol or a combination of fossil fuels
and biofuels. HyPower's signature product, the Hydro Power Pak (HPP), has
demonstrated a significant impact on the performance of engines while at the
same time increasing fuel economy, significantly reducing harmful emissions,
inducing a cleaner more efficient burn, and increasing torque and horsepower.
The HPP results in greater productivity, less carbon residue and sludge build-up
and overall increased operating efficiency. HyPower is also engaged in the
research and development of hydrogen production technology and biofuel products.
