Usually this blog is reserved for news about hydrogen gas saving devices that helps people with gasoline or diesel internal combustion engines save fuel. One of the reasons is that I see hydrogen gas savers as a bridge to full hydrogen cars.

But, something unique has happened lately and that is a hydrogen car is up for sale at the same time that a hydrogen truck is also up for sale. Now, what are the odds of this? One in a million probably.

You see, there are no commercial production hydrogen cars for sale yet. The year they are expected to arrive by the automakers themselves is 2015. But, if you follow the link you’ll find two hydrogen vehicles that are up for sale for various reasons.

The hydrogen car for sale is owned by a private collector who put the vehicle up on eBay and was unsuccessful with the sale. The owner of the hydrogen truck for sale actually is an engineer who worked on the vehicle before the company went under.

Both the hydrogen car and truck have an asking price of under $20,000 so if you live near a hydrogen fueling station, then you may just want to buy a vehicle that no one else owns and take pride in driving your near zero emissions vehicle among all of your gas guzzling neighbors.

Hitting the light truck and vehicle marketplace, Modern Technologies Corporation has introduced its newest model of hydrogen generator, the LTV. The hydrogen generator can be used on any four stroke internal combustion engine up to 7.3 liter and any kind of fossil fuel.

The LTV model comes with an advanced CPU control system, efficient hydrogen production and offers long-duty cycle and long lasting reliability. For the doubters and critics that this kind of technology works at all there is a recent study from the Beijing University of Technology that says otherwise.

According to the study, hydrogen added as a supplement to fossil fuel burning internal combustion engines, helps reduce emissions and increase mileage.

Whether you believe in HHO technology, you have to admire on thing and this is that Ronn Motors is willing to put their money where their mouth is. If Ronn Motors succeeds in bringing their Scorpion and H2GO system to market and everything works as advertised, then this will be an industry game changer.

If Ronn Motors fails, however, this will be one of the largest automotive flops in history. So, what is Ronn Motors doing to promote its cause? Plenty. First, Ronn Motors has teamed up with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to field trial their H2GO hydrogen injection system (HHO fuel injection).

Second, Ronn Motors has teamed up with the contractor for FedEx Ground to fleet test the H2GO system under real life conditions. Third, the Ronn Scorpion, complete with its hydrogen on demand system, has been invited to the Indianapolis 500.

Fourth, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger test drove the Scorpion in Sacramento and commented that he wanted to buy one when they became available. And, last but not least, Ronn Motors has contracted with the Infinity Energy Group to buy 40,000 H2GO systems for installation on their fleet of road trucks.

Now, for the skeptics who say HHO simply cannot work, may so. Or maybe not and we will find out in a very big way in a few short months to come.

This week, the largest gathering ever of HHO advocates, buyers, inventors and skeptics has taken place in Palmetto, Florida. Spearheaded by Joe Shea, the HHO Games and Expo was supposed to bring together all types for the discussion and showcase of this emerging technology.

Now, there is some confusion in the community as to what a hydrogen generator is and isn’t since they can be used in the automotive, medical and even welding fields. For our purposes, we’re talking about hydrogen and HHO generators for cars, trucks and other vehicles.

At the HHO Games, many big names in the industry including dozens of inventors will be there showing their wares. Names like Larry Jarboe, James Robey and perhaps even Bob Boyce (they’re trying all they can to get him there) will talk about all sorts of HHO industry subject to convince the skeptics and reassure the advocates of the viability of this technology.

This is the last day for the HHO Games, so if you’re in the area, it would be worth the visit as both seminars and inventors will be there all day.

Dan Green (yes, his real name) of Kilauea, Hawaii has invented an HHO generator for his 1985 Volkswagen Westfalia that he says improves gas mileage by 30-percent. What is unique about Green’s van is not the hydrogen gas saver unit itself, but the fact that the device is powered by solar energy.

Green has a solar panel mounted on top of his Volkswagen that collects the sun’s energy. The energy is transformed into electricity and fed to a second battery at the back of the vehicle. This battery in turn supplies power to the hydrogen gas saver that injects HHO gas into the engine of the vehicle.

Like other HHO generators, Dan Green’s device boosts the power, efficiency and fuel savings of his vehicle. Green also mentions the trucking and shipping industries as the two candidates that could benefit the most from this technology now.

With as much fuel as large ship burn while out to sea, one would think they would be all onboard with hydrogen gas saver technology. However, this is one area that is seriously lacking right now in the industry.

I’ll have to admit that this is a tricky subject. Separating fact from fiction regarding the mythical water car, hydrogen cars and regular cars partly powered by HHO gas can make many people’s heads swim.

But, the problem with mixing up technologies is that the readers’ heads continue to swim afterwards. I’ll have to give the Muse paper its dues because it mostly got the article right. But, there are also a few errors that need to be corrected.

For instance, the official Daniel Dingel website says that the inventor’s water car is actually a hydrogen on-demand device for a standard automobile. This is a newer interpretation of older claims of a 100-percent water-powered car.

The Muse Online also calls a popular HHO eBook at “kit” which of course it is not, only a set of plans to build a kit. In the article the term “H2O powered car” is also used loosely so that the reader doesn’t mean if this refers to a 100-percent water car or a car partially powered by electrolyzed water. There is a huge difference here.

Like I said, this is a difficult subject to wrap one’s head around. But, in order to separate fact from fiction, the media does need to get the similarities and differences straight.

World Energy Solutions has just acquired H-Hybrid Technologies from the UTEK Corporation. H-Hybrid technologies is known for their patented line of hydrogen gas savers (HHO generators). The hydrogen gas savers electrolyze water on-demand to create oxyhydrogen fuel, which lowers emissions and increases fuel mileage.

According to CEO Ben Croxton of World Energy Solutions, “We believe the addition of this licensed technology will advance our goal of introducing our own system for fuel enhancement and emissions reduction for the OEM marketplace. We feel that combining these technologies with our existing technology will strengthen our intellectual property focused on improving fuel efficiency and lowering emissions in automobiles.”

So, in other words, this is a natural pairing since World Energy Solutions has been working on their own line of hydrogen gas savers for a while. Back in February 2008, World Energy Solutions announced that with their latest prototype they were able to reduce carbon monoxide emissions by 99-percent while increasing fuel mileage by an average of 24-percent.

Usually the companies that engage in the generation of hydrogen target either automobiles or home use, but not both. This is not the case with Generation H (or GH).

In fact, a company called Modern Technology Corporation likes the fact that Generation H is targeting both markets, so much so, that they’ve just purchased a 5-percent stake in GH. The first market for GH is retrofitting both cars and truck with hydrogen gas savers that reduce fuel consumption between 10 and 80-percent.

In addition, Generation H uses this same water electrolysis technology for commercial and residential power creation. With hydrogen gas savers becoming so popular with home builders and small time mechanics it was only a matter of time until corporations would become interested in this market as well.

In earlier posts, I had talked about Ronn H2GO, Ecomobil HFactor and Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies as the larger commercial players getting into or already into the marketplace. Add Generation H to this list as now the big boys have come to play in the hydrogen gas saver arena.

In early June I had talked about the Ronn Motors Scorpion exotic car coming standard with a hydrogen-on-demand (HOD) system that would be the first of its kind anywhere. Now, Ronn Motors of Austin, TX has decided to do itself one better and promotes its H2Go HOD system for use in the long haul trucking industry.

The Scorpion actually uses a Hydrorunner G3 hydrogen on demand system, in which a small amount of water is electrolyzed and the resulting hydrogen is then injected into the supercar’s intake system. Presumably the Hydrorunner will now be relabeled and sold under the Ronn Motors brand.

Ronn Motors will be competing with other large names in the HOD trucking industry including the Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company (CHEC), Hy-Drive Technologies and HyPower Fuel.

CEO of Ronn Motors, Ronn Maxwell is predicting that the H2Go system will save long haul trucker in the range of 25-percent fuel savings. If this number is accurate this could heat up the competition considerably since CHEC is only guaranteeing a minimum of 10-percent savings for long haul trucks.

The Show Us Yours hydrogen booster rally took place Saturday, August 16 from 3 to 5 pm at Blue Jay parking lot in Norwood, Colorado. Local inventors and the public were invited to this event to check out how the latest hydrogen gas savers can save drivers money at the pump and the environment at the same time.

Inventor Pat Barber was also there showing off his series cell hydrogen booster mounted on his Toyota pickup truck. Barber is not a mechanic by trade, rather a musician, but he designed his hydrogen booster after reading an eBook such as the ones well sell through this website and blog.

One of the advantages of Barber’s design is the series cell design which lowers voltage across the cells, while increasing the output of HHO gas. Besides using his booster design for his own vehicle, Barber also uses the hydrogen generator for cooking and welding as well.

It’s grassroots events such as this springing up all over the U. S. that will get the message of hydrogen gas savers out to the public. Since the large automakers won’t be doing this anytime soon it is up to people at the grassroots level to make this happen in a big way.
