The Results are in. I tested one of our prototype hydrogen booster cells over the road this week, and here are the results…

In a tired 4.3 Liter V6 Chevy Cheyenne ½ ton Pickup Truck that averaged 17mpg and burned a quart of oil every 100 miles (yikes!), I installed a magnet pack and one of the hydrogen cells pictured at http://www.EvergreenGasLabs.com. The mileage immediately jumped to 21 mpg, with more power and smoother running. This was running with no load: just me, my wife, and one of my kids, going down the freeway at 60 mph between Boise, Idaho, and Portland, Oregon.

Then I loaded up the bed of the truck with household stuff (I was helping move someone’s stuff), and hooked on a eight foot trailer and loaded it with an entire shop, including welders, table saw, grinders, air compressor, etc and so forth, several thousand pounds all tolled.

Then I tried driving this loaded down V6 for another 600 miles back to Boise, both with and without the hydrogen cell activated. Results? Without hydrogen: less than 14mpg with no power, lots of coughing, stumbling, knocking and pinging (especially on the hills), and in general just choking. Some low quality gasoline at a cheap gas station didn’t help any. Then I turned the hydrogen back on, and even I was shocked at the improvement in power, the decrease in coughing and stumbling, and overall increase in engine performance. This also got me back up to about 17mpg, better pulling power on the hills, and a higher highway speed before the engine started pinging and knocking.

Conclusions? The combination of the magnet pack and the hydrogen cell breathed life back into a very tired and undersized engine, increased its gas mileage by about 25%, noticeably increased its horsepower output, improved its overall engine smoothness, and let me burn the cheap/bad gas through the system without a huge loss in performance. These results also mirror my results from last summer’s highway trip that I took to Bellingham, Washington, with my original prototype hydrogen cells and magnet packs, where I got better speeds, more power, and about 25% improved mileage in a Chevy 5.8L V8 Suburban.

Remember, this is at highway speeds. In my experience, the cells often produce even better mileage than this at slower city driving and stop and go speeds.

I learned lots of little tips and tricks along the way as well to improve future models of the hydrogen cell, one of which I installed on a friend’s vehicle the day after I returned from Portland this week. The DO work, and they work WELL.
