Brings you the “DuoHydro”

 

 

Dual fuel Hydrogen system for Cars and Trucks

 

Run your car on water – significantly reduce your CO2 emissions – Save money through better combustion efficiency!

 

 

Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd Group, is pleased to announce an important new initiative. We are bringing to the market a hydrogen based gas system for either petrol or diesel engines. We looked at what was on the market now, and found there was nothing available that was right for us to partner with our dual fuel and muffler technologies. So we have made a product with automotive grade components, ISO accredited parts, and more importantly one that works on a wide range of engines in a safe and dependable manner.

 

The DuoHydro product we have ready to market to you is based upon experience with engines gained with the dual fuel patented technologies controlled and marketed by Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd. The product we wish to offer to you the consumer is a system of converting water to a hydrogen based gas that has a positive effect on the combustion efficiency of an engine, resulting in a reduction of up to 35% reduction in fossil fuel consumption depending on application (see notes below).

 

The product is available to work on a large number of vehicles at this time, and we now taking orders from consumers, businesses, and resellers from all over Australia, (overseas resellers and customers please email us on ben@alternativeengine.com for pricing and availability).

 

Customers – if you want ot start saving money and reducing your greenhouse gas emissions contact us as soon as possible. Delivery is 7 days from order for Australian customers, and up to 14 days for overseas customers (customs and freight can slow things down). You will need as qualified mechanic to do the installation for you.

 

Don’t delay – demand is high and whilst we have ramped up production, we still have waiting times.

 

So how do you order? – call us, email us, tell us what your car or truck is, the manufacturer, the model, year of manufacture and how many kilometers per year you travel, and your estimated fuel consumption.

 

Installation will take approximately three to eight hours, and if for any reason your vehicle does not get a 15% cost reduction – we will gladly take it off and refund your money.

 

Our parent company Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd has a lot of experience with dual fuel systems, having converted diesel engines to dual fuel Diesel/LPG, Diesel/CNG and others. They have found that in many instances, there will be times when an engine does not respond to a change in fuel composition, no matter how smart the product is. But take comfort in that we have access to a team that knows what to do from years of experience.

 

Costing - $2,500 plus installation costs for unleaded passenger cars and diesel 4WD’s.

If you want the upgraded product on diesel engines, another $400 inclusive of GST will get you a patented mixer.

 

Truck Pricing – please advise vehicle type and work performed so an accurate system can be quoted.

 

The mixer is installed into the air intake of the vehicle – it improves the airflow to the engine, improving fuel efficiency on top of the DuoHydro unit. In effect, the Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd patented mixer allows a level of performance that Hydrogen units around the world cannot match as standalone products!

 

Trucks, pricing is on demand, and reflects the work that will be required to ensure acceptance into the Australian marketplace – it is not as easy to do as some may think – see our websites at Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd to see what we have done with diesel engines, covering trucks, 4WD, and stationery generators.

 

General Facts

Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd has already demonstrated a Diesel/Hydrogen Dual Fuel System, which has the US Patent already issued, and it was good enough for Ford Motor to use on a Ford F450 Pickup Truck displayed on the official Ford Stand at SEMA, the worlds biggest aftermarket trade show for Pickup Trucks and SUV’s. See the AET website for more details. This experience has helped us determine further work on Hydrogen based gases was worthwhile.

 

Cost and Emission Reductions:

 

As every engine is different, we cannot give definitive answers as to how much you will save – sometimes the fact that one person is an aggressive driver and another is a patient driver has a big impact on a vehicles performance. So what we offer is that we are targeting a 15% saving, but would not be surprised if some customers achieve significantly better savings when using the hydrogen based gas in their engine. Again, if your vehicle does not respond, we will refund your money.

 

CO2 emissions will reduce in line with your fuel consumption reduction, so long as your engine is well maintained (don’t forget there will always be exceptions to the norm).

Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd is proud to introduce the DuoHydro Hydrogen gas system for cars trucks either petrol or diesel. Integrated with our patented dual fuel system for diesel engines, components, and smart electronics, an enhanced cost and emission result can be obtained in a number of diesel and petrol engine applications.

 

Even better, the device in a scaled down version works wonderfully well in a gasoline engine, and we encourage you to investigate purchasing a system from us to reduce your costs and emissions. 

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • How is it possible that my present engine will power the DUOHYDRO and get improved gas mileage ?

 

Your internal combustion engine's efficiency will be dramatically improved with the introduction of HYDROGEN Oxygen gas. The engine alternator keeps turning whether or not the engine and battery use all of the electricity it produces. Energy is wasted constantly turning the alternator that is captured to power the DUOHYDRO which, in turn, produces HYDROGEN OXYGEN GAS used to improve combustion. The way modern engines work, powering the DUOHYDRO is basically free.

 

  • Can a DUOHYDRO harm my vehicle(s) ?

 

The proof is in the technology. As long as no harsh chemicals are added to the DUOHYDRO, water is the only result from the process of internal combustion. This Brown's gas is expelled in a vehicle's engine exhaust as harmless steam. Users are cautioned not to add vinegar, baking soda, lye or any other harmful electrolytic substances to Generators – AET will recommend the correct chemical formulation required to ensure optimal results. Refill of the water resevoir is only distilled water.

 

  • Why is a DUOHYDRO a good investment ?

 

This is a good investment because our DUOHYDRO will pay for itself by saving you money on fuel. On average you will save 30% on gas consumption.

 

 

  • Why buy from Alternative Engine Technologies Pty Ltd?

 

As agents for GMS, we have the best hydrogen generators available. The  DUOHYDRO contains an all stainless steel apparatus which creates far more hydrogen and oxygen than products that appear to be similar. The output is up to 2.3 liters per minute of hydrogen gas at 12v and 7 amps with 0 vacuum. Other units may look like ours, but theirs are just two rods in a plastic container that put a charge through the water, like a kid’s science experiment. They require using distilled water and an electrolyte solution such as lye to create electrolysis. With these products energy in must equal energy out, so they just don’t work! Don’t be fooled into buying a cheaper product. You get what you pay for! The Duohydro as supplied by Alternative Engine Technologies is built to the highest standards.

 

  • Why is distilled water recommended ?

 

Tests have shown that distilled water is a bit better than tap water as an electrolytic medium. You can use the water that comes out of an outside faucet for an emergency, but you will have to flush the system out and replace the water with distilled water as soon as possible. The iron in the water will start to corrode and needs to be flushed ASAP and will VOID ALL WARRANTY. Also avoid any water softeners or reverse osmosis systems.

 

  • Why can't I add chemicals to a DUOHYDRO that will make it produce more hydrogen ?

 

Adding lye or other electrolytic substances will void the warranty, eventually destroy the unit and may even harm your engine. The unit is designed to use only distilled water.

 

  • Is HYDROGEN a safe fuel for my car ?

 

It's absolutely safe and HYDROGEN is not as dangerous as gasoline. In our DUOHYDRO fuel is stored as water and produced continually as it is drawn in and burned by the engine. There is no high pressure hydrogen storage fuel tank that could rupture or explode during a collision.

 

  • It seems like the DUOHYDRO takes a long time to use up a liter of water. Why is that ?

 

Water is actually an extremely concentrated form of hydrogen and oxygen gases. A liter of water at sea level will produce an enormous amount of both gases when the two are separated by electrolysis. Don't worry, using GMS technology, a small amount of water can produce lots of gas.

 

  • Does a DUOHYDRO need to be protected from freezing during the winter ?

 

Absolutely! A DUOHYDRO should have a 20% denatured alcohol solution in order to keep it healthy during freezing weather. See the "Installation" page of this Web site for more details.

 

  • How many amps should the DUOHYDRO draw ?
    How do I know if my unit has blown a fuse ?

 

Your unit should draw under 10 amps - that's the design parameter and the operating amp level you should shoot for. If your unit is blowing fuses, it may mean you have added water with too much mineral content. If this occurs, drain the unit and refill with distilled water. Sometimes a bit of experimentation is required before you find water quality that will keep your unit operating under 5-10 amps.

 

  • My car doesn't have any space under the hood. How can I install a DUOHYDRO in my car ?

 

There is always some place a unit can be installed. For instance, the Ford Focus has no room under the hood, either, but a unit can be (and has been) installed outside of and below the engine compartment, in front of the right wheel well. Sometimes it takes a bit of creativity to find a location.

 

  • If I install a DUOHYDRO will it void the warranty on my car ?

 

No! The addition of a DUOHYDRO should be treated like any other after-market add-on that actually reduces harmful emissions. But, obviously, we cannot speak for all manufactures and if you think this might be an issue, we recommend you check with the company that provides your vehicle warranty.

 

  • Can fleet owners purchase DUOHYDRO a discount price ?

 

Yes. Depending upon the number of units purchased, production economies of scale can reduce the cost per unit. Fleet owners are encouraged to call our office on 08 82417800 for Australian companies, and +61 882417800 for others or email us at sales@duofuel.com.
