E-Clips Energy Technologies, Inc. (E-Clips Energy) has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with CPI Holdings, LLC, dba Champion Parts, Inc. (Champion Parts) to develop specifications for prototype fuel efficiency systems for gasoline engines by utilizing H-Hybrid Technology. The system is designed for easy retro-fit to most cars. The aim for both the company is to develop H-Hybrid units for a pilot project for large scale manufacture and distribution through automotive aftermarket suppliers.
The LOI relates to the development of universal engine management control unit to restrict flow of prime fuel into the engine, by electro-mechanical means. The saved fuel is replaced by the hydrogen and oxygen gasses, produced by an on-board electrolyser, utilizing water as the secondary fuel. Both the companies propose that Champion Parts may then test market the prototype of H-Hybrid units to select procurement and sales executives in their network of retail outlets, to get a perspective on optimal configuration, size and pricing for the product embodiment of H-Hybrid technology.
Both the companies propose to jointly define the specifications for an initial market test version of H-Hybrid units from HHO product line. Based on the information gained from the market test phase, Champion Parts and E-Clips Energy may then develop specifications for a refined pilot product with a view to large scale fabrication.
The universal control unit for restriction of prime fuel can be set at a determined level – 10% or 15%, thereby ensuring a fuel saving in line with setting in the control unit. The electrolyser is capable of generating the volume of gasses needed to replace the saved prime fuel, without any extra electrical power requirement form on-board sources. This is a new system which has a double market appeal; fuel economy and emission reduction.
The mix of hydrogen and oxygen gases with the gasoline offers for more complete engine combustion. In a test vehicle, E-Clips Energy decreased hydro-carbon and carbon monoxide emissions by over 90% with particulate emissions, soot virtually removed. The system performs well in excess of current and proposed federal and state regulations for the reduction of emissions in road vehicles. It should be noted that as long ago as 1977, a NASA report indicated large emission reductions when hydrogen was mixed with gasoline before injection into a multi-cylinder engine.
E-Clips Energy owns the patents to the H-Hybrid System, which integrates the generation of gasses from water, to the engine management system, which can be set to a specific fuel reduction. The market potential for this technology is extremely high, there being some 230 million gasoline engines in registered road vehicles in US.
E-Clips Energy’s chief executive officer, Ben Croxton said: ‘This agreement gives us a means of addressing the mass market for a universal H-Hybrid system to fit most gasoline engine vehicles. The potential is very large and Champion Parts’ nation-wide distribution system will enable a high demand product to be brought to consumers in all parts of the country.’
