More on electrolyzers from owner of Xavier Technologies

A few weeks back, we noted a posting from a gentleman named Denys mentioning electrolyzers from Xavier Technologies as a way to save fuel. He didn’t mention at the time that Xavier Technologies was *his* company. But I linked his mention to a piece from the New York Times suggesting hydrogen products like his were not backed up by science.

Denys responded quickly, but it got sort of lost in the posting shuffle, and it deserved a more featured place.

So here it is. Sorry, Denys - wasn’t trying to edit you out.

I am the owner of the company listed in this posting. I have also read the New York Times article (referred to) concerning electrolyzers. Jim Motavalli, who wrote the article, obviously didn’t do much research. If you can’t find scientific fact to back this up, you’re not looking very hard. Try the library or the National Hydrogen Association (online). The opinion of a New York Times reporter who does inadequate research before writing an article or the “myth busters” hardly constitutes “science”.

First of all, I agree that there are a lot of scams out there ( the Tornado & magnetizer) to name a couple, and many more people who just don’t know what they’re doing. The “myth busters” are two of them or just bought a “bogus” product for their experiment. I’d also be willing to bet that they didn’t use the proper electronics. Electrolyzers are being utilized in industrial equipment such as welders. I am an affiliate for a company that makes electrolyzers and you don’t offer a guarantee on a product that doesn’t work.

The sensors in your car constantly monitor the a/f ratio and sends a small voltage to the computer. A higher voltage tells the computer you are burning too “rich” and a lower voltage means too “lean”. The proper electronics associated with an electrolyzer adds a floating voltage to the existing voltage telling the computer that you are burning too rich and subsequently cuts back on the gas flow. I guess another way to look at this would be that the extra voltage compensates for the added oxygen in the system. This decreased flow in gas is replaced by the hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer. I think that we can all agree that hydrogen is much more combustible than gas. I get very defensive concerning my credibility and reputation. The bottom line is; I have one in my car and IT WORKS.

If you’re thinking about it… do your research, and decide your comfort level before spending any money on any product. I think Denys and I could agree on that.
