Does anyone here have a full understanding of their Hydrogen Booster technology?

Newer models with oxygen sensor feedback present a problem, in that in order to maintain the factory warranty, no modifications to the engine control can be made.

Hydrophi Technologies Group is about retrofitting and warranty of these trucks is overdue to begin with. It's said in the videopresentation greenmachine2 post#7495.

What I am not sure of, is how much a properly modified engine benefits from the hydrogen injection. Today's engines also use computer control to maximize efficiency from a number of other sensors, and might be near a clean burn?

1) The hydrogen is used as a catalyst not as fuel replacement. In other words it chances the type of molecules inside the combustion chamber (in air intake hydrogen is injected) and this way it alters the type of molecules from the exhaust fumes.

The power torque of the diesel engine takes the katalyst thanks to the diesel fuel is burned more completely.
2) The hydrogen makes the machine parts cleaner which causes a decrease of mechanical friction.
3) Conventional configuration of a diesel car: all kinds of barries in het gas flow are added (read as friction in fluid mechanics) this causes an increase in fuel consumption. greenmachine2 post#6572

Retrofitting new diesel engines would be dumb, it makes much more sense for Hydrophi to have a joint venture with a diesel engine manufacturer. Therefore the future outlook of miniturizing their technology makes sense to me IMO.

An other treat to the company is R&D's are cash burners which makes this company a takeover candidate.


For clarity, I have no technical background.
