Alternative MPG

About Alternative MPG:

Alternative MPG came about in 2008 as a result of exorbitant fuel prices, and the seemingly lackluster attitude of the auto industry to produce any significant advances in alternative fuel technology. The Hybrids of today have shown little progress in mileage increases over many compact cars of the mid to late 1980s. For example, a 1988 Honda CRX routinely averaged 42-46mpg, whereas a 2008 Toyota Prius averages 48mpg. This is the best we can do in 20 years!? Not to mention that at a purchase price of $22,000 with gas at $3 per gallon - one of these vehicles would take over 10 years to pay for itself in gas savings! These factors combined to spark an interest in other alternative fuel sources. Propane conversion is another viable method of increased efficiency, but has multiple drawbacks. Some of which include: the scarcity of refueling sites, cost of conversion kits, and complicated installation. So Hydrogen became a topic of interest. There were systems in existance, but with major flaws. We set about to right the wrongs with this technology and develop a safe, cost effective, user friendly alternative to expensive alternate fuel systems. Our path consisted of building and testing virtually ALL of the existing fuel cells and isolating the problems with each. We began with glass jar electrolyzers, and while easy to replicate, we quickly realized the insignificant Hydrogen production. We then moved on to upgraded "wet cell" configurations, and found that overheating was their downfall, along with the consequent process of inducting water into the engine.

(The hotter a cell runs, the more water vapor it produces). After testing seemingly endless configurations of these models, we moved into the world of "dry cells." These boast much greater output, require far less current, and all at a much lower operating temperature. However, there were problems here too. But none were insurmountable. Through extensive research and testing we refined the dry cell system, and developed an ironclad design. Our current Hydrogen dry cell fuel system has undergone in excess of 90,000 miles of rigorous testing - and passed with flying colors!
