HydroStar System
Hydrogen Engine Conversion Manual
What is the
HydroStar Guide, and is it for real?
A water - fueled engine
conversion system is a very simple, but precise definition
of the fantastic HydroStar System. The engine operates
entirely on hydrogen and oxygen, generated by the
electrolysis of water. No petroleum derived fuel or external
electrical generating system is used, or even required. The
exhaust from the HydroStar Guide is actually cleaner than
most outside air!
YES - The HydroStar Guide is for
real! It is the end
result of many years of testing and experimentation with a
multitude of hydrogen generating systems based on the
principle of electrolysis of water. Water electrolysis is
simply the breaking down of water into its basic hydrogen
and oxygen atoms by passing an electric current through it.
The HydroStar is the first, and so far only, practical
system developed for
use in vehicles.
Is the HydroStar
Guide
a perpetual motion machine?
The HydroStar is not a
perpetual motion machine. It is a high efficiency, water -
fueled, electro - mechanical system capable of producing
hydrogen and oxygen in sufficient quantity to power internal
combustion engines.
Is the HydroStar Guide safe?
Vehicles powered by the
HydroStar System are inherently safer than existing gasoline
powered vehicles. Gas tanks have to hold many gallons of gas
in order to allow vehicles to travel great distances. Such
large volumes of gas hold tremendous amounts of combustible
energy, as is often demonstrated by the fiery results of an
accident severe enough to rupture the gas tank. Very little
hydrogen has to be stored within the HydroStars' hydrogen
generator. The only necessary fuel stored in quantity is
water; which, of course, is not combustible.
Why is the
HydroStar Guide called a conversion system?
The HydroStar is called a
conversion system because it doesn't require removal,
modification, or disabling of any of your vehicles' existing
systems. Therefore, it allows you to run your vehicle on
either its existing gasoline system or the HydroStar System.
In the unlikely event that your HydroStar fails, you can
easily switch back to gasoline power. But, you'll soon be
getting this simple system back in working order again. Once
you've driven with the HydroStar you'll never be happy with
anything else!
How well does
the HydroStar System Perform?
A vehicle powered by the
HydroStar is theoretically capable of getting 50 to 300
miles per gallon of water. However, as is true for any
engine, actual efficiency depends on driving habits,
terrain, vehicle weight and shape, and ability to tweak the
system. Exact efficiency is, of course, a moot point since
water is basically a free and inexhaustible resource.
Can the
HydroStar be used in other ways?
Yes, the HydroStar can
provide fuel from water for just about any home appliance
that normally uses natural gas or propane as a source of
heat; thereby saving valuable and diminishing natural
resources. Space heaters and furnaces are excellent
candidates. Stoves and other cooking units such as barbeque
grills can be fueled by the HydroStar as well.
Can I buy a
ready - to - install HydroStar System?
Right now the HydroStar
System is not being commercially manufactured. Planning is
in the initial stages for producing the HydroStar conversion
kits for most popular vehicles and eventually manufacturing
the entire system, or its' major components. We're hoping to
have some prototype kits by the end of 2007. And delivery of
ready - to - install kits should begin sometime during 2008.
Such a venture requires tremendous amounts of time and cash;
something such a small group of enthusiasts simply does not
have at this time. So, if you want to have your own
HydroStar System right away (and we hope you do), you'll
have to do what I'm doing myself; build it using the plans
and step - by - step directions contained in this book.
