Hydrogen is a colorless, tasteless, gas and is the lightest known element. It is so light that helium is 4 times heavier than hydrogen, and oxygen is about 8 times heavier. Because of this, hydrogen gas always travels up, unlike propane which travels down towards the ground. This property makes hydrogen much safer as hydrogen gas will escaping up into the atmosphere rather than potentially sitting in one spot near the ground.
When compressed into a liquid, hydrogen is also the lightest known liquid on earth. Hydrogen is also the cleanest burning of all known fuels. When burning hydrogen, two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom to form a water molecule. The only byproduct of hydrogen combustion is H2O (water)!
Hydrogen burns more rapidly than hydrocarbon fuels because it is smaller and enters combustion reactions at higher velocity, has lower activation energy, and incurs more molecular collisions than heavier molecules. These characteristics make it possible to mix hydrogen with conventional hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel and propane to reduce emissions of unburned hydrocarbons.
Mixing hydrogen with hydrocarbon fuels provides combustion stimulation by increasing the rate of molecular-cracking processes in which large hydrocarbons are broken into smaller fragments. Expediting production of smaller molecular fragments is beneficial in increasing the surface-to-volume ratio and consequent exposure to oxygen for completion of the combustion process. Relatively small amount of hydrogen can dramatically increase horsepower and reduce emissions of atmospheric pollutants.
Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) has proven engines require a smaller amount of HHO gas to fuel ratio to get the greatest results. WorldNCI’s HTechnology has taken this research and applied it resulting in smaller generators that can be easily adapted under the hood of any tractor.
HTech hydrogen cells are designed as a circulating system in which the water travels from a reservoir through the cell and back into the reservoir requiring no water pumps. The key to this circulating system is the cell which acts like a pump creating a self siphoning system carrying gas and water back into the reservoir. The reservoir 1) stores the circulated water, 2) acts as a bubbler system separating the water from the gas and 3) aids in cooling the overall operating temperature of the system. Operating temperatures of any system varies depending on the amount of electrolyte used, voltage, current and the ambient air temperature. These factors all play a role in the operating temperature of the system.
A great deal of research has been conducted on various types of Electrolyte or Catalyst material used for generating hydrogen. WorldNCI uses only the purest and safest materials; the use of any other type of Electrolyte will void the warranty of the HTechnology system.
There are several significant benefits when incorporating HTechnology and FASTechnology™ in WorldNCI's new FAST-II System:
- HTechnology: By using hydrogen as a combustion stimulant makes it possible for other fuels to meet future requirements for lower exhaust emissions in California and an increasing number of additional States.
- HTechnology: Reduces hydrocarbon fuel consumption
- HTechnology: Increases Power
- HTechnology: Increases MPG
- FASTechnology™: Eliminates 100% crankcase emissions
- FASTechnology™: Returns unspent fuel back to the combustion chamber
- FASTechnology™: Increases MPG
- FASTechnology™: Protects engine oil from ‘soot loading’
- FASTechnology™: Protects engine from outside water and air pollution after engine is turned off
- FAST-II: By combining both FASTechnology™ & HTechnology, a minimum of 10% increase in fuel economy can be guaranteed.
