The 4th quarter of 2009 brought the latest design release change to the Hydro 4000. Smaller, more powerful and a external reservoir are only a few new ideas for the Hydro 4000. Package was always the biggest concern, when trying to install the first generation unit into a vehicle. Engine compartment space is at a premium with any new vehicle on the road.
A controllable AMP regulator is also new for the Hydro unit.
Stay tune for more updates as they come available.

Hydro 4000 - How it Works
Our HYDRO-4000 use a process known as electrolysis to produce Brown’s Gas as described below.
Electrolysis of Water
Electrolysis of water can be achieved in a simple hands-on project, when electricity from a low-voltage DC power supply (e.g. 12 volt battery) is passed through a vessel of water. The reaction that occurs is: 2H2O(aq) = 2H2(g) + O2(g)In practice, some kind of electrolyte will need to be used. Electrolyte is a dilute mixture of minerals and water used to enhance the flow of electricity. In our HYDRO-4000 we use inexpensive distilled water. HYDRO-4000 Process
Our HYDRO-4000 utilizes the electrolysis process, with certain patent-pending modifications built in, to improve its efficiency, durability and ease of operation. Gases are captured by the HYDRO-4000, mixed with a filtered air flow, then directed to the vehicle’s fuel intake where they are combined with the vehicle’s ordinary fuel/air mixture. The result is enhanced combustion, improved mileage and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The reduction in emissions is caused when non-polluting hydrogen adds combustion energy, replacing some of the ordinary fuel needed to power the vehicle.
How Electrolysis Works
Electrolysis works when an electric current is applied, through an electrolytic solution, between a cathode (negative pole) and an anode (positive pole). During electrolysis, hydrogen gas will be seen to bubble up at the cathode, and oxygen will bubble at the anode. The two gases combined in a free state, constitute what is called “Brown’s Gas” If, however, the wrong metal is utilized for the anode, oxygen will react with the anode instead of being released as a gas. For example, using iron electrodes in an electrolyte solution will produce iron oxide at the anode, which will react to form iron hydroxide. When producing large quantities of hydrogen, this can significantly contaminate the electrolytic cell reducing its hydrogen output. This is why our HYDRO-4000 is made entirely of stainless steel.

Hydro-4000
A lot has been discussed about the Hydro-4000 and hydrogen fuel cells that are on the market currently.
We have installed numerous Hydro-4000 units into fleet vehicles and other types of vehicles over the past four months.
With the current price of gas around $3.50 per gallon, does it make sense to install a hydrogen unit on your car? Let do some math here and figure out the answer.
We have seen a minimum of 25% increase in fuel mileage from our largest fleet operator. This vehicle travels over 300 mile per day and was averaging about 8.8 MPG. With the Hydro-4000 installed on the Isuzu turbo diesel the mileage increased in the first 30 days to 10.88. An increase over about 22%,
The second month increase was an additional 8%. Total increase was 30% or 2.64MPG.
Now let look at the numbers. 300 miles per day @ 8.8 MPG, the number before the Hydrogen unit was installed. Daily fuel consumption would be around 34 gallons of diesel fuel. Diesel being around $4.50 per gallon, total daily cost would be about $153 per day. Now if you calculate the 300by 11.44MPG you use 26 gallons of fuel. That cost is $117 per or about $36 savings.
With the cost of the unit at $1200 and about $300 to install, the total cost is about $1500. The return on investment is 42 drive days to recoup your investment on the unit. After that the savings is all yours. The icing on this cake though is that the cost and installation of the hydrogen unit is 100% tax deductible, thus saving an additional $300-$400 per unit on your taxes.
Plus you get the feeling that you ARE doing something for the environment
