World Energy Solutions Develops World's First 'Tri-brid' Motor Vehicle

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- World Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: WEGY) announced today that it has successfully developed and tested a "tri-brid" motor vehicle at its Research & Development laboratory in St. Petersburg, Florida. The "tri-brid" applies the Company's Proprietary HHO (Hybrid Hydrogen-Oxygen) System to a hybrid engine to produce even greater fuel efficiency and emission reduction.

Conversion to World Energy's HHO System, in this case a Ford Hybrid "Escape" SUV, enables the prime fuel to be replaced with hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This increases the engine's gas mileage and reduces its emissions to little more than water.

Ben Croxton, World Energy CEO, said, "The concept works extremely well. We successfully increased the mpg (miles per gallon) of the prime fuel. We are now embarking on a sophisticated testing program to find the best combinations of gasoline and gasses to provide the optimum increase of mpg whilst maintaining the engine's torque and horse power. We are pleased to refer to this development as 'Tri-brid Technology'."

World Energy has developed an electronic means of regulating the hydrogen and oxygen gasses in a way which permits the 'Escape's' computer control system to remain intact while creating greater efficiency in the "Atkinson Cycle" internal combustion engine. Test results to date have been confirmed by placing the vehicle on an automobile chassis dynamometer. This will enable all test results to be independently verified.

The combination of gasoline with hydrogen and oxygen provides a more efficient and complete burn in the engine cylinders. This reduces emissions dramatically. In separate testing, our Honda test vehicle showed hydro-carbon emissions were reduced by over 99% and carbon monoxide emissions by 92%. Particulate emissions -- soot -- were almost all eliminated. These significantly reduced emissions are all well within federal regulations for emission reduction and the increase in mpg is compatible with proposed legislation.

The Truth About Water Powered Cars - HHO

Popular Mechanics

The Truth about water powered cars. HHO.

"There is energy in water. Chemically, it’s locked up in the atomic bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. When the hydrogen and oxygen combine, whether it’s in a fuel cell, internal combustion engine running on hydrogen, or a jury-rigged pickup truck with an electrolysis cell in the bed, there’s energy left over in the form of heat or electrons. That’s converted to mechanical energy by the pistons and crankshaft or electrical motors to move the vehicle.

Problem: It takes exactly the same amount of energy to pry those hydrogen and oxygen atoms apart inside the electrolysis cell as you get back when they recombine inside the fuel cell. The laws of thermodynamics haven’t changed, in spite of any hype you read on some blog or news aggregator. Subtract the losses to heat in the engine and alternator and electrolysis cell, and you’re losing energy, not gaining it—period. "

There are laws that everything in nature must follow. Things like gravity, and there is no free ride.

"HHO enthusiasts—from hypermilers to Average Joes desperate to save at the pump—suggest that hydrogen changes the way gasoline burns in the combustion chamber, making it burn more efficiently or faster. Okay, there have been a couple of engineering papers that suggest a trace of hydrogen can change the combustion characteristics of ultra-lean-burning stratified-charge engines. Properly managed H2 enrichment seems to increase the burn rate of the hydrocarbons in the cylinder, extracting more energy. However, these studies only suggest increases in fuel economy by a few percentage points and don’t apply unless the engine is running far too lean for decent emissions. That’s a long way from the outrageous claims of as much as 300-percent improvements in economy that I see on the Internet and in my mailbox.

There’s no reason to believe that even more modest increases claimed by some of the ads could be achieved by a conventional, computer-controlled automobile engine running under closed-loop driving—that is, the computer’s ability to sample the oxygen output of the engine’s exhaust in real time and slew the fuel/air ratio for big mpg and small emissions. The combustion chamber events are far different in the type of ultra-lean-burn engines where hydrogen enrichment has been seen to help. Ultra-lean means there’s a lot of extra oxygen around for the hydrogen to have something to react with—far more than the very modest amount we’re sucking in from the typical homebrew hydrogen generator made from a Mason jar. "

People are selling the hydrogen generators for $995 , $695 , $495 on Ebay. Its crazy that people are buying them, but they are.

I can't wait to see the results from Popular Mechanics on the testing they are doing with the HHO generator. They will help to debunk the Water for Gas myth.
