HydroFuture LLC began it’s testing on Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion (HEC) with it’s proprietary Hydrogen On-Demand (HOD) system, playfully called “HydroZilla” , in early 2008 with a core team which would continue forward designing and building eight (8) versions of the HydroZilla, reaching production line caliber in 2010 with the issuance of the Executive Order from the California Air Resource Board.
In the beginning it was the mission statement of HydroFuture to design a sophisticated hydrogen delivery system which could liberate hydrogen and oxygen from water in ‘Real Time’, at a rapid pace using only 12 volt systems, while being durable. It was our edict to acquire the best and most forward thinking manufactured hydrogen booster, or reactor, to place at the heart of our system – much like a CPU to a mother board. This was a Risk Management decision. During this testing phase the company would acquire reactors from various manufacturers around the world. However, it was clearly demonstrated that no manufacturer at that time could provide a durable, fast gas liberating reaction which stood up to the harsh environment of Over The Road (OTR) vehicles. HydroFuture became frustrated with the lack of production line quality reactors, so the company solved the problems and created the first ever reactor of it’s type which could be built using no glues or polymers to seal it, and would contain the electric reaction with top efficiency, contain energy loss through heat, include a method that would allow fast liberation without degradation – the company called it the High Speed Efficient Hydrogen Reactor or HSEHR, and it’s operational observations were akin to watching a Swiss watch in action. Gone were amperage variations from water sloshing. Gone were over oxidation of plates that occurred within the first month. Gone was inconsistency of gas delivery. Gone was high level use of sodium hydroxide as a catalyst. Now approximately 25 milliliters in three gallons of water was used to reach 120 total amps for two reactors instead of 2900 milliliters of the past to reach 110 total amps. The gas liberation went from 1-1.5 liters per minute demonstrated by other manufacturer units to 6-11 liters per minute depending on build aspects and settings with our new HSEHR reactors. Our per reactor breakdown of power use and output looks like this:
1) HydroZilla Version 8 HSEHR reactor with off-the-shelf setting: 6.5 liters of hydrogen and oxygen per minute
12.5 volts X 67 amps = 837.5 watts per hour divided by 390 liters = 2.1474… per liter
2) HydroZilla Version 8 HSEHR testing model; 10.5 liters of hydrogen and oxygen per minute
12.5 volts X 55 amps = 687.50 watts per hour divided by 630 liters = 1.0912… per liter
Our fully self-adjusting hydrogen on demand system, HydroZilla version 8, can deliver 13-21 liters per minute of hydrogen and oxygen (based on the build, volt levels produced from the alternator, amperage settings and on other external variables). With our system in operation an owner can rest assured that our system will deliver this gas to the air intake manifold at a consistent rate and at a consistent gas production, thus obtaining the best and most efficient reaction in the combustion cycle possible.
Additionally, HydroFuture custom designs and builds for all types of Internal Combustion Engine needs, whether it is a static generator or a traveling vessel on the ocean.
