Most internal combustion engines operate at about 35 per cent efficiency. This means that only 35 per cent of the fuel is fully burned. The rest either turns to carbon corroding the engine or goes out the exhaust pipe as greenhouse gases.
The H2N-Gen increases burn efficiency to at least 97 per cent, Williams said. This saves fuel and greatly reduces emissions.
It also means less engine maintenance and oil changes. The only thing the vehicle owner has to do is refill the unit with distilled water once every 80 hours of engine use.
“At the time we first saw it, it seemed too good to be true,” Scheps said. “But for everything we’re seeing it seems really good. It does work. So we’re moving into phase two. Refinements and further testing.” He cautions that it’s “only a go when everything is finished.” But if all goes smoothly, he said, it could be out on the market in six to 12 months.
