At this juncture in our economic and political climate there are few arenas that allow us to forecast success without a great deal of risk, doubt and uncertainty surrounding them. One area in which both right and left seem to agree, standing on its own merits, and insulated from the down market, is the development of alternative energy sources.
Investment in companies that feature new ways to reduce emissions or our dependency on imported fossil fuel will emerge from our current economic nose dive ripe with opportunity and robust growth. Alternative fuel vehicles as well as green power sources that deliver to the grid are currently receiving a great deal of attention. We see electric cars on the road today and great effort and many dollars are being poured into technology that improves the batteries powering them.
Hydrogen powered vehicles are said to leave no “eco-print” other than water vapor in their exhaust and much effort is being placed on designing methods to store and burn this fuel as well as the infrastructure to support them.
What we have built at HESSGEN uses hydrogen as a fuel source, but does not require construction of new infrastructure for support, nor does it involve a complicated conversion or a redesigned engine for the vehicles that use it. Our system produces hydrogen in an “on-demand” basis in an electrolytic reaction cell powered by current from the vehicles alternator. In addition to the gas or diesel flowing into the engine, hydrogen and oxygen are injected as well; this secondary source of fuel makes a world of difference in the cost of operation and dramatically decreases the pollutants in the exhaust.
We do not claim to have “the solution” for our dependency on imported fuel or the total reduction of automobile emissions. However, after installing our system, a cleaner more environmentally friendly combustion process is the result.
The direct effect of a cleaner burning engine is the decrease of emissions and an increase in fuel economy. We are in a period of transition, moving away from our dependence on fossil fuel, and actively searching for alternative energy solutions that serve our needs and reduce the negative impact on our environment.
The Hybrid or "cross-over" fueled vehicle will be the focus of consumer attention in the transitional period before the hydrogen highway is built, or batteries are perfected that have greater range or power. The H2ES system from Hessgen will be an important part in this transition from fossil fuel to eco-friendly power as it addresses both the ecological and economic concerns of todays global marketplace.

Hessgen System
The Hessgen system is an integral part in what will be known as the “alternate fuel transition phase”. Prior to the advent of an affordable and efficient hydrogen fuel cell automobile, and more importantly, prior to hydrogen fuel stations being constructed to refuel them, the need and demand for reduced emissions and increased fuel economy remains.

Hydrogen Fuel
The Engine in your car only uses, at best , about 65% of the gas or diesel that your engine burns. The rest, unburned vaporized fuel, hydrocarbons, CO2, and Nox is blasted out your exhaust system into the air we breathe and stored in the atmosphere. This is one of the main contributing factors in what has become known as the greenhouse effect.The Future of Hydrogen Is Now
by Jeffrey A. Serfass, President, National Hydrogen Association
One of the questions people often ask the hydrogen industry is, "When will hydrogen be ready? How long before it's actually used?" The simple answer is: right now.
The real surprise for most is learning how many different ways hydrogen is being used already for everyday applications and how linked hydrogen technologies are with the deployment of traditional renewable technologies.
Most people think of hydrogen as an alternative fuel for passenger cars. That's true, but it's only part of the picture.
Adding hydrogen to the variety of clean car technologies in development today is hugely important and something that is developing steadily. (In fact, hydrogen vehicles from nine car companies recently completed a cross-country tour.) At the same time, other products using hydrogen are being sold today for uses that most folks don't know about. Some well-known names, like FedEx, Wall-Mart, Sprint, Orlando and Vancouver International Airports and others are among those who have begun to introduce hydrogen technologies to their operations. You can read about many of these real-world
applications by clicking here.
In the meantime, here's a quick overview of just some of the industries and technologies in which hydrogen is being put to use today, in ways other than passenger cars, and a reminder of how hydrogen technologies are an enabler for wider deployment of renewables.
FACTS:
The Engine in your car only uses, at best , about 65% of the gas or diesel that your engine burns. The rest, unburned vaporized fuel, hydrocarbons, CO2, and Nox is blasted out your exhaust system into the air we breathe and stored in the atmosphere. This is one of the main contributing factors in what has become known as the greenhouse effect.
When the Hessgen system injects hydrogen and oxygen gasses into the intake of your engine, it serves to more fully burn the primary fuel. The emissions noted above are drastically reduced because when the secondary fuel (hydrogen) is introduced
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS:
A 12 volt charge is passed through the electrolytic cell, this creates the desired reaction in our proprietary concentric cell enclosure. Water is disassociated by this process and the result is the production of hydrogen and oxygen gas. The gases are injected or drawn into the manifold of the vehicle and mixed with air in the intake. This mixture is then burned as a secondary fuel and the result is a decreased reliance on the primary fuel for the combustion process.
