Up to 90% reduction in NoX, 80% in PM, 30% MPG boost.

$10,000 bolt on for big rigs, already selling & 100% legit.

Some hydrogen is added to the intake - burns much hotter, more energy and
no PM. But since it displaces oxygen, NoX doesnt form as much.

HyTech is not the first or only company to develop an HHO additive system, but nothing on the market comes close to those kinds of numbers.

The ICA achieves this efficiency thanks to a computerized timing controller that senses and analyzes the turning of the crankshafts and camshafts to determine the precise timing and size of the HHO injection. Previous HHO systems more or less flooded the engine with HHO through the air intake, but HyTech uses “port injection,” with a separate injector at the intake valve of each cylinder, controlled by the timer. Each injector (roughly the size of a human hair) squirts tiny, precisely measure jets of HHO into the cylinder just when it’s needed.

These are bold claims, but so far they’ve held up. The ICA has been listed by the EPA as a candidate for emissions-reduction technology; respected testing firm SGS found that the ICA boosted the fuel efficiency of a FedEx delivery truck by 27.4 percent; FedEx is currently road testing the ICA on a fleet of trucks and finding 20 to 30 percent better fuel economy and substantially reduced DPF maintenance costs. In third-party testing, and in limited local sales around Redmond, the ICA has performed as promised. "

HyTech also wants to clean up existing cars
Later this year, HyTech will introduce its second product line: pure hydrogen retrofits for ICE vehicles. Put more simply, it will take any engine that runs on diesel, gasoline, propane, or CNG and switch it over to run on 100 percent hydrogen. (The company is currently in the process of getting its retrofit product certified by the California Air Resources Board as zero-emissions.) This would allow any driver to get a zero-emissions vehicle for substantially less than the cost of buying a new electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

There are just too many to list....
So, it is making the engine run "richer", without the added carbons from fossil fuels. Curious about the real world cost of this (operational and purchase), and the environmental effects.

Since there is no free hydrogen on planet Earth, despite there being plenty paired up with oxygen (and other elements), where is the hydrogen coming from, and what energy is consumed in this process?

Sounds similar to methane/natural gas injection to me.

Banned subject. Read post #8 in this thread. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=193835

That thread also explains WHY this is a banned subject.

Existing members who apparently innocently post about such matters will merely have the thread locked, which is what is happening here. New members who do that will be interpreted as spammers or shills and will have their account banned.
