Question ID: 570429
Hi, i would like to know about the details behind the idea of
inserting Hydrogen gas into the intake of a standard petroleum
combustion engine.  I have seen a couple devices on the horizon that
say they can get lower emissions from a better fuel burn (97% burn
compared to the standard 35%), better fuel efficency (10-40%
improvement), and a slight performance increase.  The device i am
refering to in specific is the "H2N-Gen".  An article on it can be
found at:
http://www.canada.com/montreal/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=cfeb17de-d945-4db4-87a6-090911200e96

I want to know its viability, its downsides, and both its proven and
unproven benefits (need studies from reputable sources to back up the
proven ones).

I would also like to know the official products website (the one
mentioned in the article).  With every part the more detail the
better.

macman...

This looks to be the official website/webpage:
http://www.privatepower.ca/101/privatepower/index.htm

I'm not seeing much in terms of official documentation
or information beyond what's contained in that article.

Yea that looks like the same unit.  This might require calling the
company or finding other studies that are not specific to this
particular product.  Studies that indicate the affect of adding
Hydrogen into the intake of a standard petroleum engine.

Also mentioned in the article is a research firm "Wardrop Engineering
Inc." and the "Canadian Environmental Technology Verification (ETV)"
their reports on the product and an idea of their credibility would
work.
