Replacing Gasoline With Water

Run your car on water? It sounds too good to be true; replacing one of the most expensive commodities with one of the cheapest. But they’re starting to do it.

Well not exactly. Instead of actually replacing all the gasoline in the car with water, what they’re doing is extracting hydrogen from water and then using that hydrogen to augment the gasoline supply, providing better mileage and a reduction in emissions. It’s called Onboard Hydrogen Generation and Injection (OHGI).

Here’s how it works. As a standard vehicle engine runs, part of the energy produced is used to generate electricity. This is normal, and is used to run the many electrical components of the car, as well as charge the vehicle’s battery so you can later start the car after it’s shut off. But with an OHGI system, a portion of that electricity is used for separating distilled water into its two base elements, hydrogen and oxygen. The system then injects the hydrogen (and oxygen) into the vehicle’s engine, where it improves the combustion process, significantly increasing mileage while reducing emissions.

If this all sounds too simple, like some kind of parlor trick, it does have its critics. They say due to inevitable inefficiencies, it will take more energy to split the hydrogen from the water than could possibly be recaptured in the combustion process. But others are quick to point out that the process doesn’t involve just the creation and burning of hydrogen, but rather with improving the efficiency of the overall combustion process, and that’s where the net gain comes from.

In any event, there is no shortage of supporters, including corporations, pointing not only to their own experiences but to results from a variety of independent tests. There’s no question in their minds that the technology does indeed boost gas mileage and reduce emissions.

A number of companies are profiting from the new interest in hydrogen, although most are not directly related to OHGI:

• Air Products & Chemicals (NYSE: APD) is the world’s largest supplier of merchant hydrogen and an industry leader in hydrogen fuel infrastructure. The company is working to bring safe, low-cost hydrogen production to the marketplace.
• Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: QTWW) supplies hydrogen storage products for OEM vehicle applications, refueling systems for fuel cell vehicles, and hydrogen-powered concept cars built from the ground up.
• Ballard Power Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDP) designs and manufactures clean energy hydrogen fuel cells. The company’s fuel cell technology is ideal for transit operators that wish to make their bus fleets cleaner and more efficient.
• FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL), a leading developer and producer of stationary fuel cells, has begun building a DFC-H2 demonstration unit designed to produce electricity and heat while also generating hydrogen gas for transportation.

One company that is very much a part of the OHGI move, however, is San Francisco based GreenChek Technology, Inc., (GCHK.OB) which calls its patent-pending system the most efficient and reliable product on the market, basing its claims on third-party testing carried out at Clean Air Technologies International in Buffalo, NY. Its OHGI system is adaptable to any combustion engine, regardless of fuel source, and is designed to improve gas mileage by at least 5% to 15%, while reducing emissions by as much as 50%. In addition, it can be retrofitted to any vehicle, creating a target market of virtually every car, truck, train, and ship in the world.

In an increasingly green obsessed world, water may turn out to be the hottest fuel on the planet.

The big thing is that these claims have some third-party verification to back them up, because there is still some controversey about the technology.

What kind of controversey?

There are still some who say that it takes more energy input to extract the hydrogen from the water than can possibly be recaptured when the hydrogen burns. Basic physics. But supporters say that it is not just the hydrogen burning that is the source of the energy, but the increased efficiency with which the other fuel burns. In any event, independent test results are always critical to have.

Greencheck Technology Inc. (GCHK.OB) Set to Grow as Green Energy Sector Receives Governmental Funding

The United States is well-known for technological advances since our nation was founded. The telegraph, the light bulb, and the sewing machine are just a sample of the early entrepreneurial spirit in our country. But what people don’t seem to know is that by the government has played a huge role in the development of many ground-breaking industries. With the Obama administration focused on the development of environmentally-friendly fuel alternatives, Greenchek Technology Inc (GCHK.OB) is a company on the cusp of tremendous growth.

A brief look at history confirms that when the U.S. government backs a new technology, the niche many times ends up flourishing. In the 1940s, the government backed the defense industry and it grew exponentially and remains strong to this day. The 50’s and 60’s saw an explosion of activity in the automotive, aviation, and electronics industries. When the Department of Defense put a focus on the fledgling microchip industry, the computer science industry suddenly became a viable sector.

Larry Ellison is one person who benefited from the government’s focus on the computer industry. Ellison’s company, Oracle, created the complex but user-friendly software that the smaller and faster computers would use. When Ellison founded Oracle in the 1980s, it traded as a penny stock and was able to secure a small contract with the Central Intelligence Agency. Some of those that followed the government’s lead and purchased Oracle when it was just a penny stock realized gains of over 8,000%. Just over 20 years after Oracle was founded, Ellison is now ranked 14th on the Forbes list of wealthiest people in the world.

A more recent example is in 2005 when President Bush passed the Energy Policy Act that included a mandate to increase the amount of bio-fuel mixed with gas sold in the United States. Ethanol has proven to be a key additive and since 2005 the yearly ethanol production has more than doubled. Monsato is an agricultural company that has a division that sells genetically modified corn, which is used as a raw material for ethanol. Prior to 2005, Monsato stock traded around $17 per share. Since the passing of the Energy Policy Act, Monsato’s stock has soared upwards of $140 per share, which resulted in more than 748% gain for some investors.

With the passing of the stimulus package, the alternative fuel sector will receive four times as much funding than previously allocated. Greenchek has developed a hydrogen injection technology that has been proven to reduce the amount of emissions and reduce automotive fuel consumption. The Greenchek technology meets President Obama’s primary goal of being environmentally conscious and saving consumers’ money.

GreenChek Technology, Inc. (GCHK.OB) Offers a Unique Environmental Answer

GreenCheck Technology, Inc. (GCHK.OB) is becoming a global leader in an industry that remains largely unknown to the general public, although this is starting to change. When most people think of environmental and energy issues, and how to address them, they can be forgiven for thinking only in terms of hybrid cars, or sun and wind power, or perhaps bio-fuels. But there is a separate industry, based upon grass-roots growth versus big industrial capital, which offers a unique approach to the challenge of both environmental protection and energy independence.

The technology is called Onboard Hydrogen Generation and Injection (OHGI), and, although it involves hydrogen, it does not require billions of dollars in infrastructure for implementation. That’s because, as its name implies, the hydrogen is generated onboard, meaning it does not need massive hydrogen generation facilities and distribution channels. The hydrogen, once generated, is then used to improve the overall combustion process, making the engine run more efficiently, saving fuel and reducing emissions by as much as 50%.

Emission reductions this significant won’t remain under the public radar for long, especially when they could apply to virtually any transportation vehicle anywhere in the world, including major sources of pollution like trucks, ships, and railway engines. Such heavy emitters are targets of heavy penalties from government regulations, particularly considering European Union and Kyoto Protocol requirements. People are increasingly anxious for economically viable solutions to environmental problems that will pay for themselves sooner rather than later.

OHGI offers the opportunity to dramatically decrease emissions of greenhouse gases, while also increasing fuel efficiency and reducing operating costs. It’s a double benefit of particular value to commercial applications, like trucking. It’s estimated that nearly 30% of worldwide greenhouse gas output comes from the trucking industry, and government pressure on truckers represents a potentially huge financial hit. But now, instead of having to replace entire fleets, a relatively simple and inexpensive retrofit could let them meet emission requirements while actually reducing their fuel costs.

Although it’s true that nobody knows for certain how all of this will play out, GreenChek Technologies is already taking a leading role as one of the primary producers and distributors of the OHGI solution. The company, with its patent pending technology, has a clear goal, to be the preeminent company in the OHGI industry.

Correct, the on-board feature is, I feel, the real differentiator here. It is why this industry is growing already, while other hydrogen proponents are still waiting for their distribution network.
