How does the H2 Power Core Work?
After the Power core is installed, you simply fill the tank with Water (distilled is best). When you start you car, current from your cars electrical system is applied and causes the atoms of Hydrogen to migrate towards the negative electrode and the Oxygen to migrate to the positive electrode. This process is continuous and will force the gas to bubble to the top of the tank. While the car is running, the gas is sucked into the air intake and into the cylinders where it is burned. Burning this mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen increases power and decreases the amount of gas that would normally be burned.

What kind of savings can I expect from the H2 Power Core in my car?
The actual increase in miles per gallon (MPG) will vary depending on the vehicle. It is important to follow all installation instructions carefully. When installed properly you can expect at least a 20% increase in MPG with most vehicles showing increases of 30-50%.

Does the H2 Power Core work in the wintertime or cold climates?
Yes, when using the Power Core in cold climates, simply add windshield washer fluid instead of water to the tank.

Is it easy to install power to the H2 Power Core?
Yes, the kit includes everything that you need to install the Power Core. Similar units require you to look for a switched power source (only on when the key is on). The H2 Power Core ships with a simple cigarette plug that plugs into the cars cigarette lighter. All cars have a cigarette lighter that usually only works when the car is running. The plug supplied with the H2 Power Core also includes a green LED to let you know that there is power to the unit.

Can I use the power outlets that many vehicles now come with?
NO – most power outlets stay “Hot” (or on) even when the ignition is turned off. If you plug the adapter in and you see the green LED light on while the ignition is off then you must use the good old fashion cigarette lighter. If you need to, you may purchase a splitter from you local auto parts store so that you can still use the cigarette lighter.

Can the H2 Power Core be used in California?
YES – The power core is legal in California and simply produces a combustible gas that results in increased gas mileage

What is Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is the simplest, lightest and most abundant element in the universe. It is the first element in the periodical table of chemical elements. Hydrogen has one proton and one electron. All other atoms are made from combining additional numbers of hydrogen nuclei. Hydrogen may be the universe’s most abundant element, but most of it is contained in other chemical compounds. That means before it can be used it must be separated from these compounds rather than simply collected.

Where does Hydrogen come from?
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Scientists believe it was formed within seconds of the Big Bang, some 15 billion years ago. Hydrogen is typically chemically attached to other atoms, such as carbon or oxygen. Because of this, energy must be expended to separate these elements. To extract hydrogen from water, for example, about 2.3 gallons of water and 45 kilowatts-hours of electricity are needed to make enough hydrogen to have an energy content equivalent to a gallon of gasoline (about 120,000 British thermal units--Btus).

Is Hydrogen safe?
Hydrogen has been and can be used safely if appropriate codes, standards, and guidelines are followed. Industry has produced, stored, transported, and used large amounts of hydrogen safely and routinely by following standard practices that have been established in the past 50 years.

In general, hydrogen is neither more nor less inherently hazardous than gasoline, propane, or methane. The potential contribution of a particular property of hydrogen to a particular hazard depends strongly on the specific conditions under which hydrogen is released and/or confined.

Is Hydrogen flammable?
Pure hydrogen by itself will not burn (hydrogen needs an oxidizer). Hydrogen's low density and ability to rapidly disperse allow it to escape to the atmosphere if a leak occurs. Propane and gasoline, by contrast, have high densities and slow dispersal. This allows these fuels to remain near the ground increasing a risk of explosion. Research shows that hydrogen must reach a concentration of 4% in the surrounding atmosphere before it poses a danger. By contrast, gasoline's concentration has to reach just 1% before ignition becomes a danger.

Did Hydrogen cause the Hindenburg to blow up in 1937?
No. A recent study of the accident by a retired NASA scientist implicates the paint used on the skin of the airship, which contained the same component as rocket fuel.

What about exhaust emissions?
Hydrogen is a zero-carbon fuel. As such, there are essentially no carbon-based emissions such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide when hydrogen is used as a fuel. Hydrogen combustion’s primary emission product is water vapor. Oxides of nitrogen can be formed from the nitrogen in the air, but manufacturers like BMW have been able to prevent the formation of nitrous oxides (NOX) without affecting vehicle performance by lowering the temperature of combustion.

How often do I maintain my Power Core?
The Power core is designed to function with little to no maintenance. If you use distilled water, you will probably never need to service the Power Core.

How often do I need to add water?
You should check the water level whenever you fill your vehicle with gas. You may or may not need to add water. Testing results have shown an average of two gas fill ups per each water refill. This will vary depending on your vehicle. Simply look at the water level tube on the side of the power core and you will see how much water is needed. For best results, you should keep the Power Core “topped off” so that the unit produces the maximum amount of burnable Hydrogen gas.

Will the Power Core “Blow Up” in an accident?
No – The amount of Hydrogen gas produced is not enough to cause an explosion in the event of an accident. The H2 Power Core is very safe to use and is designed with safety in mind. The H2 Power Core is a passive unit in that any gas produced is constantly being sucked into the air intake for burning.

Can liquid from the Power Core be sucked into the engine?
No, if installed properly any water vapor from splashing will drain back into the unit before getting close to the air intake. It is normal to see vapor condensate on the hose leading to the air intake while the unit is producing Hydrogen. This will not harm your vehicle in any way.
