HyPower Develops Hydrogen Technology to Power Vehicle from Water.WILMINGTON, Del. -- HyPower Fuel Inc. (OTCPK:HYPF) is pleased to announce that the company has equipped a Volkswagen GTi with its H2 Reactor (H2R) hydrogen system that can produce sufficient hydrogen on board, on demand to power the vehicle using only water. The H2 Reactor uses the process of electrolysis electrolysis (ĭlĕktrŏl`əsĭs), passage of an electric current through a conducting solution or molten salt that is decomposed in the process. to convert water into a hydrogen/oxygen gas which is then used to power its original internal combustion engine Internal combustion engine A prime mover, the fuel for which is burned within the engine, as contrasted to a steam engine, for example, in which fuel is burned in a separate furnace. . HyPower believes that its H2 Reactor's electrolysis process is the most efficient to date with an unprecedented ratio of hydrogen production Hydrogen production is commonly completed from hydrocarbon fossil fuels via a chemical path. Hydrogen may also be extracted from water via biological production in an algae bioreactor, or using electricity (by electrolysis) or heat (by thermolysis); these methods are presently not to electrical input. Currently the H2 Reactor requires 1 watt hour to produce 1 liter of hydrogen. This is approximately 2 to 2.5 times more efficient than the current performance of competing technologies. "This is an extremely significant advance in that a vehicle with a standard internal combustion engine can be powered with hydrogen produced onboard as needed as needed prn. See prn order. . Other hydrogen vehicles require special storage tanks to supply the highly compressed gas to the engine. This is not yet a practical application as there are simply very few available refueling stations for these vehicles," said Mr. Doug Bender, President of HyPower. "We have now successfully created a situation where a car could run on water and produce virtually no harmful emissions or greenhouse gases. We will continue to beta test A test of new or revised hardware or software that is performed by users at their facilities under normal operating conditions. Beta testing follows alpha testing. Vendors of packaged software often offer their customers the opportunity of beta testing new releases or versions, and the the H2R system to strive for increased efficiency," Mr. Bender added. Management is quick to point out that these are preliminary laboratory results using prototype H2R units and will require considerable improvements before any practical transportation application can become a reality. The company plans to host a number of live demonstrations in early 2007 with independent experts in attendance to monitor and verify resulting data. "This new technology, used in conjunction with this vehicle is to us like the Kittyhawk was to the Wright brothers. It didn't fly very far but it was a start and paved the way to modern aviation as we know it today," exclaimed Doug Bender. About HyPower Fuel, Inc.: HyPower Fuel, Inc. is a category leading company in the energy technology sector, focusing on providing innovative alternative energy through hydrogen production and hydrogen related products. HyPower has successfully commercialized the integration of hydrogen production and hydrogen insertion technologies using electrolysis to improve the overall performance and efficiency of the internal combustion engine while burning gasoline, diesel, natural gas, liquid propane, ethanol, methanol or a combination of fossil fuels and biofuels. HyPower's signature product, the Hydro Power Pak (HPP HPP hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. ), has demonstrated a significant impact on the performance of engines while at the same time increasing fuel economy, significantly reducing harmful emissions, inducing a cleaner more efficient burn, and increasing torque and horsepower. The HPP results in greater productivity, less carbon residue and sludge build-up build·up also build-up n. 1.
