Hydrogen Generator Boosts Big Rig Mileage

Hydrogen Generator Boosts Big Rig Mileage ENERGY Hydrogen “When it comes to semis and other large engines over 10 liters you want to use the Big Boy generator ” notes Andrew Herold who has been manufacturing hydrogen generators since 2009 when he first built and sold 5 500 units designed to boost mileage on smaller car and truck engines
“Recent trials with the Big Boy generator have been producing better results than we thought possible Gains are being reported of up to 35 percent fuel savings Units continue to improve Several years ago it took 60 amps to produce enough hydrogen to power a semi Now we can do it at 15 amps ” says Herrold noting that 6 semis in Nevada have been getting a 35 percent increase in mileage including one that went from 6 3 to 9 2 mpg
Problems that users had in the past have been solved with new engine tuners and pulse width modulators that hook up to the accelerator sensor so that when you step on the gas the generator puts out more hydrogen to match engine needs
The Big Boy runs on 12 volts DC and comes with a meter and Pulse Width Modulator to control the output It’s rated at 185 percent efficient and has 24 double-grilled plates
Herrold says the key to success with the Big Boy is correct installation “We need mechanics who are trained to install the system Right now we have two trained mechanics - one in Nebraska and the other in Nevada ”
Newer model semis use wide band sensors the same as Toyotas and other foreign cars You will need to have the right information on which sensors you are dealing with On older mechanical engines all you need to do is to adjust the timing because hydrogen burns 1 200 times faster tahn diesel and you have to adjust the timing closer to top dead center
“The system has proven itself a very successful add-on when installed correctly Over-the-road semi savings are $25 000 to $35 000 per year ” says Herold Contact: Andrew Herold 11402 Westview Ct Beltsville Md 20705 ph 240 715-5000 email: aheroldsr@yahoo com www hydrostarllc com
