A. Internal combustion engines run extremely well on pure BG.  In the BG video 2 we show an engine running exclusively on BG.
However, it takes more energy, in form of electricity to make the BG than the engine will produce while running with BG as its only fuel.  
Using the best BG technology known today, BG as an engine’s only fuel, cannot generate more power from an internal combustion engine than the electricity it took to make the BG.
This is because internal combustion engines are only 25%-30% efficient.
Example: 100 watts of electricity can make about 98 watts of BG (using figures from 1996 Eagle-Research technology).  
An internal combustion engine (fueled by 98 watts of BG) will generate about 25 watts of electricity (because the engine is 25% efficient). 25 watts is NOT enough to even replace the energy the engine used/wasted (98 watts), let alone provide excess power to move the vehicle.  The ‘BG Myth’ section of Eagle-Research.com gives analysis of running internal combustion engines on BG.
Better to use the 100 watts of electricity (instead of making BG) to directly power an electric motor. The electric motor is far simpler than an internal combustion engine and operates at 60+ % efficiency.  Thus the same 100 watts would take you more than twice as far.
Having said that, Brown’s Gas can increase the combustion efficiency of carbon fuels dramatically, using less power to make it than you get back from the combustion efficiency increase… Because it is then acting like a Catalyst, not as a Fuel.
See the HyZor Technology and Brown’s Gas, book 2 to learn how.  
We are trying to figure out how to run engines exclusively on water.  Join our eNews to help or learn how once we’ve figured it out.

Our HyZor Kit is scientifically priced by marketing experts who calculated all the associated costs and then added a reasonable markup so I would actually make money… a novelty I like 🙂
Our HyZor Technology has inherent value that is not immediately obvious if you don’t know what to look for. Our kit is more costly to manufacture than the ‘simple’ kits because we include features like liquid level control and design for maximum ExW production with minimum amperage. Read this PROOF document to understand why ExW is important (click here).It’s also important to understand there are things that the newbies (all the ME2’s jumping onto this bandwagon) DON’T tell you…
Mostly because they’re either trying to keep the cost of their electrolyzers down and/or they simply don’t know what they don’t know.  Almost all the on-board electrolyzers out there are about 15 years behind us, using technology that we’ve long since abandoned for more efficient options.
First thing to know is that efficiency is ALWAYS the main key to optimizing gains from on-board electrolyzers (of any design).You MUST be able to lock and control the amperage (amperage makes BG) so you can tune your BG production to your engine’s needs and optimize your gains.  Our HyZor Technology has several ways to do this.As electrolyzers heat up, their resistance (to electrical flow) DROPS, which allows more amperage to flow, which causes more heating.  Amperage runaway is a serious problem that needs to be addressed with any electrolyzer design.  There are many ways to do it… and most ME2’s use inefficient options.  Our HyZor Technology book teaches you the most efficient options.Most ME2’s don’t know that too much BG can LOSE mileage.  They think if a little is good, then more is better.  They also don’t know how to design electrolyzers to optimize the ExW production.  We show that a minimum of amperage (making a minimum of high quality BG) will achieve maximum mileage.Most ME2’s don’t know that if they are making more than 1 liter/minute, that they MUST provide a shutoff that prevents BG production until the engine is actually turning over.  If too much BG builds up in the intake manifold, it will EXPLODE.  Our HyZor Technology shows 4 simple, efficient, reliable ways to shut off BG production if the engine is not running.Most ME2’s don’t know that if their electrolyzer runs low on water, that it will EXPLODE as the electricity arcs from plate to plate.  Our HyZors are one of the ONLY electrolyzers on the market that have a liquid level control.  Incidentally, that also allows for automatic water filling. Further, maintaining a tight liquid level (control of electrolyte density) is one of the features that allows increased electrolyzer efficiency.  We also include LEDs so that people know when to put water into their HyZor.Most ME2’s do not know that their (temporary) huge gains are caused by allowing electrolyte into the intake manifold.  If you put NaOH or KOH on aluminum (intake manifolds and pistons) it converts the aluminum (in the presence of water) into aluminum oxide (a fine white powder) and the water into hydrogen (lots of hydrogen); often enough hydrogen to actually run the engine.  While this sounds good, it’s ultimately BAD, because gradually, your intake manifold (with associated air servos) and your pistons dissolve into powder, destroying your engine… Opps.  Our HyZor Technology teaches you how to prevent electrolyte from getting into the engine.  Properly done, on-board electrolyzers vastly increase engine efficiency and LIFE.And finally, most ME2’s don’t tell you what you can do to further increase your efficiency AFTER they have your money.  We designed our HyZor Resources to keep our customers informed of the latest developments.

A. Yes!
Our research so far has been with using Brown’s Gas to increase the efficiency of internal combustion.
We have the world’s most practical such technology. It is described in our HyZor Technology book.  
We sincerely wish all those experimenters out there would read our book (developed from research done since 1974).  Most of those researchers are using technology that we abandoned, for better designs, over a decade ago.
Here is a document that PROVEs that on-board electrolyzers can save fuel.http://www.eagle-research.com/cms/node/443 

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 lightest known gas and has the fastest dissipation rate in air. The BG produced by a ER HyZor cannot form a combustible mixture in a ventilated area.  
Brown’s Gas is entirely non-toxic (made from water).

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 electrolyzer design) the most practical catalyst is lye.
It has the best balance of user safety, low cost, ready availability, high efficiency, environmental friendly and electrolyzer component compatibility.  
By definition a catalyst is not consumed in the chemical reaction, so the first ‘charge’ lasts the life of the electrolyzer.
Put it in only once, and then always add pure water when the electrolyzer liquid level is low.

I recommend 25% lye to water by weight.  
I understand that may be a little confusing because people ask “Is that 250 grams for 1 liter or 250 grams for 750 CC?”
Actually it isn’t that critical and either will work.  I usually use the former and the latter is technically correct.
You don’t want too much lye or it will actually inhibit the electrolysis process.  It’s actually hard to have too little, as little as 5% will go a pretty good job.
Research shows that 25% is usually optimum but it takes considerably less before efficiency drops off significantly.
I like to start with the lye on the ‘upper’ end (densest mixture) when the electrolyte mixture in the HyZor is the lowest, because as you add water it will thin out the mixture.
Also, over time, there is a tiny loss of electrolyte out with the BG.  That’s why you MUST run the BG through a filter on the way to the engine… because if lye gets into your engine, it will corrode (eat) your engine’s aluminum components.

Usually foam isn’t too much of an issue in a HyZor, so most people don’t even need to worry about it.  For those people who worry about it anyway, here’s some tips:
 
Several things cause foam so the best thing to ‘do about it’ is to prevent it in the first place.  
Before assembly wash (and rinse) all the parts, that will be inside the electrolyzer, with dish soap and hot water.  
The idea is to remove any residual oils, including skin oil from your hands.  
During assembly keep the parts clean by washing your hands well and often or wearing latex gloves.
 
Use lye (NaOH) with as few impurities as possible and distilled water to make the electrolyte.
Impurities are what foams.
 
Once the electrolyte is cooled, the very best way I’ve discovered to pre-condition it is to ‘burn’ off the foam.  
This technique involves putting the electrolyte mixture into a appropriate sized glass container with a large open top (like a measuring cup capable of measuring several cups of liquid).
Then putting a couple of stainless steel plates into the cup (make sure they won’t touch), connected to a small Capacitive Power Supply, allowing a couple of amps of DC current, so that we start making BG in the cup.
As the BG comes out of the cup, I use a flame to ‘pop’ the bubbles.  
I prefer to use a BG flame (because it is pure and won’t add carbon to the mixture) but I know most people don’t yet have a WaterTorch so a soldering torch will work.
TAKE CARE to protect yourself from splattering electrolyte.  Do this in an open area, wear eye protection and protective clothing.
When the large bubbles stop forming, your electrolyte is pre-conditioned to NOT foam.
The large bubbles form because of oil on the surface, so burning off the oil prevents the problem.

A. Eagle-Research does not recommend storing Brown’s Gas in any kind of tank.
BG is primarily a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen; one of the most explosive mixtures known!  If you watch the movie ‘Outbreak’ you will see two examples of how the US Military uses hydrogen/oxygen mixture to make a ‘gas bomb’ that is non-nuclear.
As BG is compressed, there will come a point at which it will self-explode. The higher the pressure, the more violent the explosion.  
To ensure that there is no possibility of dangerous concentrations, ER HyZor technology is specifically designed to produce BG only when the engine is actually running and to consume the BG as soon as it is produced.

No.  
Adding water helps the engine in several ways, including REDUCING the water the engine needs to handle.
Engines normally handle a LOT of water, because each gallon of gasoline turns into 9 gallons of water; which is why the ‘advise’ of having to use stainless steel valves, when you add water injection, is a MYTH.
 
Because of more efficient combustion, adding water injection normally REDUCES the amount of water the engine has to handle.  
For example: Assume a combination of Water Injection and HyZor gains 50% fuel economy with no power or performance loss.  
You’ve just replaced 50% of the fuel with water (1/2 gallon).  The engine now creates only 4.5 gallons of water from the combustion of the 1/2 gallon of gasoline.  4.5 plus 0.5 is 5 gallons of water instead of 9 gallons of water.  You just REDUCED the volume of water the engine has to handle by 4 gallons for every gallon of fuel burned!
 
Brown’s Gas (BG) contains a large percentage of hydrogen, which turns into water when burned.  But the volume of water is practically insignificant.  In our HyZor we recommend about 1 amp per liter of engine displacement.  With the C version HyZor Technology, running at 5 amps, this will create about 15 liters (of BG per hour) from about 8 mL (0.27 oz) of water.  The engine won’t even notice 1/3 of an ounce of water per hour.
 
As for the myth of hydrogen embrittlement, see this FAQ: (click) 
 
The only way to get rust in the cylinders or rings is to eliminate the oil film and GASOLINE is much better at doing that than water.  I suspect people who ‘experienced’ engine rusting were flooding their engines with excess gasoline, then even the moisture in air can rust the unprotected metal.  
 
The same goes for the exhaust system.  Exhaust systems usually rust from the inside out and they will do so whether you add water or not; though adding water, as explained above, will reduce the volume of water that is going through the exhaust.  
It’s a good idea to drill a small hole in a low point in your muffler; this will allow water to drain out and help the muffler last a lot longer.  Another idea is to get a lifetime guaranteed muffler.  Personally I prefer to get stainless steel mufflers.
 
 

A. Not yet.
There are rumors about inventors that have accomplished this dream and they seem to have been suppressed.  
Here at Eagle-Research we are trying to duplicate past successes and distribute the technology directly to the public.
There will be NO patents and our ‘public domain’ books assure that no one else will be able to get a patent either.
We are finding that this ‘no-patent’ technique ‘bypasses’ traditional vested interest suppression and actually gets working technology out to the pubic.  
In our ‘Water as Fuel’ experiments we’ve had projects that spontaneously worked for short periods of time.
We still don’t know the ‘key’ to making a practical ‘water fuel’ system.  
The most practical we have is the HyZor Technology and our Water Injection Manual which allow engines to run partially on water. Depending on the fuel, we’ve seen reports as high as 90% water.
