A. It is a good idea to remove the ER HyZor once a year to empty out the sludge. Pour out the sludge through a coffee filter so that the electrolyte solution can be reused. Wash the chamber by swishing it with water several times. Be careful not to spill lye on...
That depends on the amperage going through the ER HyZor and how long the engine is running. If the ER HyZor is using 2 Amps, it will use about 5 mL of water per hour.
A. Simply wait until you can get steam distilled water. The ER HyZor will keep itself shut off until water is added. Most pharmacies and grocery stores sell steam distilled water.
A. Lye (as a catalyst) is added during the initial fill. After that you refill with pure water. The lye stays in the ER HyZor and does not need to be replenished.
You can first try grocery stores and hardware stores, because pure lye has traditionally been sold as sold as drain cleaner. It is great for this because it has NO environmental consequences when poured down the drains. Lye is produced by burning wood, so the...
A. Distilled water will reduce maintenance requirements. De-ionized water can be used in a pinch but NOT recommended. Do NOT use tap water. Tap water is full of impurities. Water turns into Brown’s Gas (a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen), which leaves all the...
A. Yes. If lye is not added as a catalyst the ER HyZor won’t produce gas because pure water has far too high an electrical resistance. Electrolyzers use a catalyst to lower electrical resistance. We’ve tested many catalysts and discovered (for our...
A. All fuels explode. The key is to have it explode inside the engine at a time and manner whereby the energy of the explosion is most efficently converted into mechanical motion. You are producing the hydrogen on demand; it is never stored anywhere. Hydrogen is the...
A. When you use any fuel saving technique or device (from any company), you get more power from the fuel, so the fuel flow from the regular fuel system needs to be reduced to maintain power and to optimize your fuel gains. The EFIE is an interface technology that...
