The system draws electricity from the engine to split water into oxyhydrogen gas (a mix of hydrogen and oxygen), which then displaces a proportion of the air inducted by the engine. The oxyhydrogen gas improves fuel burn efficiency, with the hydrogen allowing the diesel to ignite at a lower pressure volume, and the increased amount of oxygen burning the fuel faster. This considerably increases the amount of energy from the diesel fuel that is converted into work instead of heat during the piston stroke. This outweighs the electrical power draw of the system due to the release of embedded energy within otherwise unburned hydrocarbons.

As the enhanced combustion process allows the diesel fuel to be burned more completely during the power stroke there are considerably less unburned hydrocarbons left over. which  leads to a reduction in C, CO2, unburned hydrocarbons and soot emissions or carbon deposits.

A primary reason engine wear occurs is due to degradation in oil condition. Oil degradation is rapidly accelerated by soot deposits from the combustion process passing by the piston ring seal and exhaust valve stem seals during the exhaust stroke of the engine. Because our systems significantly reduce the amount of carbon and soot normally generated from the unburned hydrocarbons, oil contamination rate is significantly reduced. Along with the reduced degradation in oil condition there are no soot deposit build ups in the combustion chamber or exhaust system. This increases the service life of valves, guides and valve seats as well as turbochargers, catalytic converters, DPF’s and EGR systems.

With our system, there’s no stored hydrogen. Oxyhydrogen gas is generated on demand and used immediately in the engine, meaning there are no high-pressure tanks or large volumes of stored gas. When the engine is not running, no oxyhydrogen gas is produced. This makes it significantly safer than systems that rely on stored hydrogen.

The system has been designed for marine environments, using corrosion-resistant, marine-grade materials and incorporating no moving parts. This greatly reduces potential failure points, resulting in high reliability and minimal maintenance needs. It is a compact integrated solution that is simple and safe to install without impeding engine accessibility for maintenance.

Alongside a power source, all you need is deionised or distilled water, which is readily available. The system only consumes small amounts of water and fills automatically from a built-in header tank that requires infrequent top-ups.

 No. The system is powered from the vessel’s own engine and is supplied with a dedicated second alternator during installation. While this creates load on the engine, it is more than offset by the fuel efficiency gains the system delivers (see answer above).
