Preface
This
book presents complete plans and detailed descriptions sufficient to build a
workable water-hybrid system for your fuel-injected or carbureted motor
vehicle. The technology contained herein has not been patented and has been
placed in the public domain.
This
has been done in hopes of discouraging suppression of this knowledge but, even
more importantly, to encourage the open flow of information relating to
water-hybrids. We encourage you to help your friends and family with their own
conversions once you have grasped the principles and techniques yourself.
We also urge you to explore the FREE
resources we have provided to you on our download page, as these may give you
additional ideas, particularly if you seek a more custom solution or want to
explore additional ways to accomplish your water-hybrid goals.
If you decide to become involved
with your own conversion project, or just want to offer advise, an opinion, or
constructive criticism on how to improve these concepts, please feel free to
contact, William S. Power, the architect of the original plans this book is
based on.
He will do his best to get back with
you, but he can’t guarantee an instant response. Sometimes he’s away from the
office weeks at a time; testing and perfecting new concepts, or just chasing
down parts. Here’s where you can write him:

Basic
Questions and Answers
A
good starting point for understanding the water-hybrid technology is to answer
a variety of frequently asked questions you may have. So here it goes:
What
is the Waterhybrid system?
These water hybrid plans essentially
convert your vehicle to use water as a source of supplemental or even
(theoretically) primary fuel. The engine derives fuel from hydrogen and oxygen,
generated by the electrolysis of water. Although petroleum derived fuel and an
external electrical generating system is not theoretically required, in most
circumstances it is a practical necessity. The only byproduct resulting from
the hydrogen and oxygen components of combustion within the engine is water
vapor. Therefore, emissions are usually cleaner, emitting fewer polluting
particles. In short, the Water-hybrid system is a “cleaner” system; one that
derives supplemental fuel from a free and inexhaustible resource; WATER! It has
the unique advantage of being able to remove pollutants from the air during
combustion, and even reduces the carbon residue within the engine (similar to
the effect of higher octane fuels).
The Water-hybrid system is proven
and has been implemented in various forms and varieties by engineers,
mechanics, and hobbyists around the world. 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
electronic current through it. You don’t even have to add an electrolyte (such
as acid) to the water to assure electrical conductivity, as is required with a
battery; plain old tap water works fine because it contains natural
electrolytes such as minerals, and also municipal additives such as chlorine
which also aid in electrical conductivity. In fact, electrolysis is in many
ways similar to the reaction which occurs within your vehicles’ battery.
Electrolysis of water us nothing new; it was first accomplished nearly a
century ago. But, until technologies like the water-hybrid system were
developed, it required a high voltage power supply and consumed vast amounts of
electrical energy. It actually required much more electrical energy than the
energy derived from the combustion of the resulting hydrogen and oxygen. In
other words, it was an extremely inefficient process that had limited practical
use.
The
water-hybrid system is a practical solution developed for use in fuel-injected
and carbureted motor vehicles. The secret of the water-hybrid system lies
within its HyTronic module. It produced relatively low voltage, but uniquely
shaped electronic pulses of precise frequency and duration. The overall power
consumption of the HyTronic module and the entire water-hybrid system is fairly
low; actually low enough to be easily powered by your vehicles’ excess
electrical and heat output, and with enough reserve power left to help run all
your vehicle’s other electrical devices.
Is
the waterhybrid system a perpetual motion machine?
The
water-hybrid system 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 improve the overall fuel-efficiency of
internal combustion engines.
Is
the waterhybrid system safe?
Vehicles
powered by the water-hybrid system are inherently safer than hydrogen powered
vehicles which require hydrogen tanks. Instead of hydrogen tanks, the water
hybrid system extracts combustible hydrogen as needed from the water, and this
steady release of hydrogen is burned continuously, thereby preventing larger
accumulations of hydrogen gas.
Why
is the waterhybrid system is called a conversion system?
The water-hybrid system 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 100% gasoline systems or the water-hybrid system.
In the unlikely event that your Water-hybrid fails, you can easily switch back
to solely using gasoline power. But, you’ll soon be getting your water-hybrid
back into working order. Once you’ve driven with the water-hybrid system you’ll
never be happy with anything else!
How
well does the waterhybrid system perform?
A vehicle powered by the water-hybrid system is
theoretically capable of traveling from 50 to 300 miles on each gallon of
supplemental water, while improving overall fuel efficiency up to 45%. However,
as is true for any engine, actual efficiency depends on many factors such as;
driving habits, terrain, vehicle weight and shape, and ability to tweak and
optimize the system.
Can
the Waterhybrid system be used in other ways?
Yes, the Water-hybrid system can
provide fuel from water for just about any home appliance requiring 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 barbecue grills can also be fueled by the
water-hybrid system. Such applications require a separate power supply to
convert your homes 120 volt AC power into the 12 volt DC power required by the
water-hybrid system. You can purchase an inexpensive power supply at any
electronics store such as Radio Shack, or have someone familiar with
electronics build one for you since the design is very simple. The cost of home
electricity used by the water-hybrid system is insignificant, probably less
than $3 per month in most cases.
Is
the Waterhybrid system difficult to build?
No, the water-hybrid system is
relatively easy to assemble and very easy to install, especially compared with
other conversion plans on the market. No special tools are required. The usual
tool and equipment found in a typical home workshop will do the job. Assembling
the HyTronic module to achieve its inherent high level of reliability requires
care and attention to details, along with average electronics skills. The only
special piece of test equipment you may want to have access to use is an
oscilloscope. It IS NOT necessary, but may help you obtain peak efficiency from
the HyTronics module. But, you shouldn’t have any problem getting help from a
local electronics guru if you don’t have an oscilloscope. Most folks are so
fascinated by unusual electronic systems and devices that they would almost be
willing to pay you for the privilege of tweaking your HyTronics module!
Can
I buy a readytoinstall Waterhybrid system?
Right now, this specific
water-hybrid system is not being commercially manufactured, but there are
various distributors around the country who offer DIY (Do it yourself) parts or
fully assembled kits utilizing similar technologies and principles.
Planning is in the initial stages
for producing Water-hybrid conversion kits for most vehicles and eventually
manufacturing the entire system, or at least its major components. We’re hoping
to have some prototype kits tested soon and delivery of ready-to-install kits
should begin sometime before the end of 2008. However, you’ll soon be building
your own!
