To Whom It May Concern,
The Agassiz Fire
Department currently uses this system on one of its engines, again with
positive results. It is a gasoline powered big block V-8 engine with a
unit on both the PCV system and fuel supply line. Comments from driver /
operators are very similar to those findings put forward by the bus
drivers. The department plans on having these devices installed on all of
its equipment in the future. Personally, I have devices
installed on both of my private vehicles as well as my lawnmower. I do not
put a lot of miles on my 2003 Ford Expedition, but still have noticed
considerable positive affects, such as, near nil exhaust smell, smoother
engine running, clean engine oil, and increased power. My lawnmower is a
fairly recent install, but the results are amazing. The mower would not
start this year as it is getting old and tired. After installing the
device and changing the spark plug, the mower started and after a few uses
runs better than ever. I replaced the new spark plug with the old one with
no change in performance. The spark plug actually cleaned up, and its
appearance looked new. Again exhaust smells are near gone, vibration
greatly reduced, and stall power increased. My 1999 Volkswagen Jetta has
the greatest results, understandably as it puts on the bulk of miles. It
is the turbo diesel model with 240,000 plus kilometers. The diesel engines
are plagued with problems of carbon build-up in the intake manifolds were
the EGR valve is mounted. This model already re-circulates the exhaust
gases without any filtering of the oil vapor, causing an oily mixture to
be introduced into the intake manifold were the EGR is. This combination
of hot exhaust gasses and oily charged air make for a hard carbon
formation on the walls of the intake manifold. I was aware of this problem
when I purchased the car and was going to repair it at its next service
interval. When I went to remove the manifold to clean it I noticed that
the formation had softened to a soft tar type coating that was
substantially reduced from the original inspection. I did not carry on
with the repair, instead I am monitoring it to see if it cleans itself
completely. As well, the usual findings of reduced vibration and exhaust
smell were observed, along with increased power and fuel economy. The car
used to emit smoke from the tail pipe after prolonged idle or hard
acceleration, and that is no longer evident. All in all, it is safe to stay that I am very impressed with the overall results of the unit. The device has demonstrated very impressive positive results with no negative drawbacks. In my experiences, the unit has been easy and quick to install with no maintenance issues to worry about. In my previous position as an automotive mechanic, I was a certified “Air Care” repair technician and so have worked with emission related issues for fifteen plus years. All the emission reduction components were post combustion, dealing with the problem after the fact. The Device is a pre-combustion device, treating combustion gases before combustion, and so emitting fewer emissions that need to be treated. I myself feel that this is a revolutionary device that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who is looking for overall improvements to the operation of there vehicle.

Testimonial and Evidence
Thanks, Other
Testimonial and Evidence 1978 Ford
Diesel tow-truck
– This vehicle belonged to Hope towing, it was the worst vehicle in the
fleet of tow trucks. Since it
was the worst vehicle in the fleet, they really didn’t care too much
about it, and did zero maintenance on it (1 year oil changes).
The vehicle was used to travel up the Cochala about 6 times per
day, the Cochala is 30km mountain with a 17km 8% grade.
After installing the device, the driver noticed a huge change in
performance. The driver could
actually shift up from 4th to 5th gear when climbing
the mountain, increased speed from 60km/h to 80km/h, smoother
sounding/running, less vibration and a 40% savings in fuel.
The mechanic would take off the device without telling the
driver as a test of performance. The driver would notice power loss on the
first uphill climb and would immediately return to the shop.
When the driver transferred to another company, he desperately
wanted another device for the new truck because he said that diesels are
not nice to drive without this device installed.
The acceleration is double that of a normal diesel engine.
The temperature would always stay low even on long uphill climbs,
the vibration was always less and the engine was quieter.
The device was installed in September 2000 to present. 2002 Chevy
¾ Ton 4x4 Extended Cab - A 6.6L Turbo charged, inter-cooled, Duramax V8 Diesel
w/open crankcase vent. The
vehicle has approx 30,000km and gets about +/-17 mpg in the city, and
+/-24 mpg on the highway. After
installing the device, the owner noticed it was smoother, quieter +-50%,
improved acceleration, better shifting (automatic transmission), more
engine braking, absolutely no exhaust odor from unburned fuel in the
exhaust, improved torque and pulling power.
They say that the Duramax diesel is one of the smoothest and
quietest diesel engines in the industry and yet the device still reduced
combustion noise and diesel rattle significantly, and we also enclosed the
open crank vent eliminating a source of toxic emissions. 1993 Dodge
¾ Ton 4x4 Extended Cab - A 5.8L straight 6, turbo charged, intercooler Diesel w/open crankcase
vent– The vehicle has approx, 150,000km and gets about +/- 9.5mpg in the
city, and +/- 16mpg on the highway. Before
installing the device, the engine oil would become black in approx 1week
or 200km of driving, smoky exhaust, noisy engine (diesel rattle).
After the device was installed, the engine was approximately 50%
quieter, no longer smokes; mileage went to 17mpg in the city and 22mpg on
the highway. The engine runs
cooler, less vibration, has an increase power and acceleration.
The oil is spotless after 6 months of city driving (approx,
5000km). An older device was
installed in June 2001 to June 2003 and upgraded to a newer device in June
2003 to present. They have
noticed a significant improvement with the newer unit. 1989 Ford
¾ Ton 4x4 Extended Cab - A 7.3L V8 turbo Diesel, 5-speed transmission.
The vehicle has approx. 120,000km and 10,000km on a rebuilt engine
and gets about 8mpg city and 11mpg highway.
Before the device was installed, the engine was very noisy (diesel
rattle), smoke in the exhaust, temperature was in the middle of the gauge,
power was unimpressive, exhaust temperature climbs rapidly to 1200F (max)
on even short up hill climbs at highway speeds.
The driver was unable to hear anything in the cab but loud diesel
rattle on the highway. The
engine was unable to sustain 5th gear up 8% grade at 90km/h.
After the device was installed, the engine (diesel rattle) noise
reduced 50-70% on the highway, significant improvements in to torque and
acceleration, 5th gear easily held at 100km/h up 8% grade,
exhaust temperature dropped to ¼ on gauge under all driving conditions
regardless of engine load, fuel economy improved to 16mpg city and 22 mpg
highway, engine rattle (combustion noise) is reduced to the point of being
able to hear the turbo charger whistle when under load.
The Unit was installed in Sep 2000 – June 2003, upgraded to a
newer device in June 2003 – present. 1984 Ford
¾ ton extended cab -
7.3L V8 non Turbo Diesel, 5-speed Standard.
Fuel economy before was 4km/litre pulling a trailer, 6km/litre
without trailer. Noticeable
smoke during acceleration and somewhat less at idle, engine noise was
considerable (diesel rattle) and performance was sluggish. After the device was installed, performance improved
dramatically and owner spent many hours showing engine and device to
friends, combustion noise decreased at least 50%, fuel consumption
improved to 6.6km/litre pulling the trailer and 8km/litre without the
trailer, smoke emissions reduced to being completely unnoticeable and
air-care tests on the dyno indicated lower emissions than even brand new
emission controlled diesels (.5% opacity).
The device was installed in Feb 2001 – present. 1986 Ford
¾ ton extended cab
– A 6.9L V8 non Turbo Diesel, automatic.
Extremely noise combustion (diesel rattle) to the point where both
driver and passenger wore ear plugs on highway drives (camping trips),
performance was very sluggish and smoke was considerable, exhaust
temperature readings where about 400F on
a level highway, quite high, normal is about 300F. Fuel economy was
about 12mpg average city and highway, air-care readings were high at 40%
opacity. After installation the driver immediately noticed
performance increase with snappier acceleration and increased pulling
power, shifting improved dramatically, combustion noise decreased at least
75% and the ear plugs where discarded, fuel economy rose to 19mpg and
professional air-care tests indicated an opacity of 8%.
Exhaust temperature dropped to 300F on highway, level driving (25%
less than before). The device
was installed in Feb 2001 – Oct 2002 – Owner removed the device for
his motor home and sold the truck. 2001 Chevy
¾ ton 4x4 Extended cab – A 6.5 V8 Turbo Diesel, automatic.
The vehicle had considerable problems with smoking, a new turbo did
not solve the problem. Fuel
economy was 18mpg Average city and highway, oil was extremely dark even
shortly after oil changes, performance was good, exhaust odor was
considerable with having a high degree of unburned fuel in it,
temperatures where normal. After installation, the smoke was unnoticeable and
contained no odor, fuel economy improved, temperatures dropped slightly
under normal, no load, driving. Oil
remained clean and combustion noise decreased dramatically.
The device was installed in Aug 2003 – present. 1985
Gravel truck
– A tandem axle, 400hp Cat engine, turbo without intercooler.
The vehicle has very smoky exhaust, considerable vibration and
engine combustion noise. Engine
temperature up hill with load is about 200F, extreme amounts of blow-by
gases emitted from vent tube, sluggish performance. After installation, the smoke decreased approx 70%,
vibration disappeared almost completely under load, combustion noise
decreased dramatically, performance improved significantly and the engine
accelerated quickly and smoothly, more like a gasoline engine.
Fuel economy improved approx, 30% under working conditions, engine
temperature was reduced to 180F under max load climbing uphill and would
decrease to 170F almost immediately after returning to straight level
driving. Engine braking
improved considerably and the truck could descend long 6% grade downhill
without a load with absolutely no braking assistance from the driver. 1991 Ford
1-Ton 4x4 -
A 7.3L V8, non turbo Diesel, 5-speed manual transmission.
The vehicle had considerable combustion noise, sluggish
performance, ran hot on up hill climbs, could not maintain 5th
gear up long hills, and significant engine vibration.
After installation, the combustion noise reduced at least
50%, performance improved considerably, long up hill climbs would be made
in 5th gear and temperatures remained below normal. Vibration
was reduced and fuel economy improved approx 35%.
As a service vehicle, road trips were very short, but occasional
long highway trips yielded significant improvements in fuel economy, well
over 35%. The driver explained
emphatically that he would never drive this truck without a device
installed. 1999 Dodge
¾ Ton extended cab – A 4x4, 5.9L 6cyl turbo charged, inter-cooled Diesel, automatic.
This is a commercial vehicle with approx. 200,000 highway km.
The vehicle has poor engine braking on long downhill’s, sluggish
performance, when the turbo was not spooled up, performance was lackluster
at best, temperatures under load were normal but exhaust temperature rose
quickly to 1200F max on uphill climbs, transmission shifted sluggishly and
ran hot, engine noise (combustion rattle) and vibration where significant. After installation, an immediate reduction in vibration and
almost eliminated the combustion noise. Power increased and acceleration
before turbo spool up improved dramatically.
In fact, the driver couldn’t believe the improvements in
performance and engine responsiveness.
Temperatures dropped, including transmission temperature, and
shifting improved. On long
highway drives the engine was almost silent, temperatures where low and
power was immediate when needed. The
device was installed in May 2003. 1997 Chevy
1 Ton – A
6.5L turbo Diesel, Automatic transmission, delivery truck.
The vehicle has approx. 70,000km on a brand new engine, very noisy
combustion rattle, sluggish acceleration and unimpressive performance on
long up hills, difficult to maintain speeds over 100km/h on level highway.
Engine oil becomes black quickly after fresh oil changes.
Driver puts on over 3000km per day. After installation, immediate and significant drop in
combustion noise, engine runs very smooth and quiet.
The electric fan on the radiator can even be heard. Performance
improved to the point where the driver consistently maintains high highway
speeds. Acceleration improved
dramatically and now this diesel van accelerates much like a gasoline car.
Fuel economy improved a minimum of 20% in spite of significantly
higher cruising speeds. Shifting
improved and temperatures dropped. Engine
oil remains noticeably cleaner and any visible exhaust smoke was
eliminated. The device was
installed in July 2003 – present. Isuzu 5
Ton, 6cylinder Turbo charged Diesel – A 5-speed delivery truck.
Before the device was installed the truck had very smoky exhaust,
poor performance and acceleration, overheated on hills, emitted more smoke
from open crankcase vent than it does from the exhaust.
The driver was very aggressive and the engine was constantly
abused, as a result, the engine had frequent break downs and maintenance
expenses were staggering. After the installation, the immediate improvements in
performance and acceleration superseded the driver’s ability to control
the vehicle and he was forced to accelerate smoother or he would lunge
into the ditch. The increased
performance allowed the driver to accelerate hard without abusing the
truck and high speeds were achieved with minimal throttle input. The oil
maintained its cleanliness and maintenance and repair costs became
minimal. Fuel economy improved
approx. 50% and smoke opacity was reduced approx. 75%.
The engine ran considerably cooler even on long, steep hill climbs.
This delivery truck ran 10 hour days, 6 days per week under some of
the worst driving conditions imaginable, such as, steep, winding highways
and temperatures of 35C to over 40C with an aggressive driver who didn’t
respect his equipment. In
spite of this, the engine is now so smooth and quiet it is almost
unbelievable. The device was
installed in Dec 2001 – Feb 2003, newer device installed in Feb 2003 –
present. 1972 Case
tractor –
A 60hp, 4cylinder non-turbo Diesel. This
engine had problems with the valves sticking and as a result had oil
spitting out the exhaust, at night sparks were frequently flying from the
exhaust into the air. Also the rings were sticking and combustion
pressures caused significant oil contamination. Fresh oil became
immediately contaminated with black carbon.
Engine performance was very poor and as a result the governor would
fluctuate the engine speeds constantly while working in the field.
Low power levels made fieldwork difficult and tedious.
Also black exhaust smoke constantly poured from the muffler and the
open crankcase vent emitted almost as much toxic clouds of oil vapor and
contaminants. After installation, the first immediate improvement was, of
course, the elimination of the toxic clouds of crankcase vent gases
because it was now enclosed and recycled.
The oil remained perfectly clean in spite of continuous hours of
fieldwork, over 300hours. The valves and rings became unstuck as the
carbon was cleared out. As a
result oil and sparks no longer flew out of the exhaust.
The muffler no longer glowed orange from the intense heat and
actually became only warm to the touch.
Most impressive however, aside from the remarkable oil cleanliness,
was the performance increase. The
tractor could work steadily under heavy load in the field and the
tachometer remained motionless at its setting.
This means that the engine now had enough power to easily maintain
a steady RPM under load without governor hunting.
As well, the combustion sound became much quieter and smoother to
the point where ear plugs were no longer necessary.
Oil cavitations were eliminated because of the rings being unstuck
allowing much fewer contaminants and combustion pressures to escape past
the rings into the lower crankcase, as well, as having a slight vacuum
applied to the crankcase by re-circulating the blow-by gases.
This means simply that the engine has a much-improved lubricating
system which will significantly extend its service life.
The owner was and still is extremely pleased with the improvements
to his tractor. The device was
installed in June 2001 – present. 1987
Mitsubishi Montero 4x4 - A 4-cylinder
non-turbo Diesel, 5-speed. This
vehicle was in serious need of maintenance and repair.
The negligent owner allowed the engine to become so poor running
that it had a measured smoke opacity of 99%, as well, the engine had very
little power and very poor acceleration.
Vibration and noise was almost unbelievable.
Even during idle, this vehicle would fill the parking lot with
thick black smoke. Oddly
enough the owner is allegedly a scientist who writes articles on pollution
for the news papers. When
emission tests were taken the engine would almost not rev to 3000 rpm, at
which point it sounded as if it would simply blowup.
After installation, the engine became more responsive, and
powerful. Combustion knock and
vibration was reduced considerably. Fuel
economy improved over 45% and highway speeds seemed too slow for it.
The engine would easily accelerate to over 5000 rpm.
For a diesel that is amazing. Even
at that speed the engine sounded smooth and vibration less.
The measured opacity would not go higher than 6%.
This was a staggering 94% reduction in smoke opacity.
The mechanic performing the test was completely bewildered because
he desperately wanted to put a new fuel pump and injectors in at the last
emissions test, before the device was installed.
This vehicle ran so good after, this alleged scientist tried to
steal the patent and run away to Buses #1
to 7 1)
Mercedes
4 Cylinder, Turbo charged non-intercooled Diesel, 5-speed.
The first bust tested was piloted by the most aggressive driver in
the fleet. The bus was
considerably abused because it was under powered and slow.
Engine temperatures ran steady at about 200F.
The engine smoked considerably and even the open crankcase vent
emitted clouds of toxic oil vapor. For
a bus, this is very dangerous for the passengers.
The driver, being so aggressive, had a very difficult time driving
this bus. It simply would not
accelerate up hills without over heating.
It was also very noise and vibrated considerably.
Smoke opacity was also a problem, this bus was over 60%.
In spite of such a poor running vehicle under extreme conditions
with an aggressive, dangerous operator we agreed to install a device
without pay for a month trial. After
installing the device an immediate reduction in combustion noise and
vibration was noted, approximately 40% – 50%.
Power and acceleration improvements were also immediately noted by
the pleased aggressive driver. He
started climbing hills a gear higher and almost lost control around steep
corners because of his inexperience with the increase in power.
When he settled down and drove normal he was able to accelerate
smoother and faster than before without abusing the engine or
transmission. Exhaust smoke
was almost eliminated. Fuel
economy improved by over 25% and oil change intervals were extended 50%.
The temperature dropped to 180F and never climbed higher, even on
hill climbs. After 1 month the
manager happily paid us and ordered 6 more for the other buses.
Each bus runs 16 hours per day, 6 days per week.
Mileage is about 10,000KM per month.
The device was installed in Jan 2001 – Present. 2)
International
6 Cylinder, Turbo charged non-intercooled Diesel 5-speed.
The temperature averaged 190F, it had a newer engine and it was
reasonably smooth and quiet. After
installation of the device it became almost silent, for a bus, and
experienced a 25% improvements in fuel economy.
Power and acceleration improvements were also noted which accounted
for the increased fuel economy. 3)
Mercedes
Benz 4 Cylinder turbo charged Diesel.
This bus had a new engine but was still under powered.
Temperatures ran about 185F and smoke opacity about 40%.
The open crankcase vent emitted visible clouds of oil vapor but not
extreme. After installation,
all operating conditions improved and the mellow driver experienced 30%
fuel savings. The engine
temperature dropped and maintained 175F. 4)
Mack 6
Cylinder, Turbo charged inter-cooled Diesel 5-speed.
This engine was a fresh rebuild with 0 hours, the mechanic insisted
on us installing the device before he even started it. The engine sounded
very good, smooth and clatter free. Oddly enough the bus had no muffler
and the mechanic believed it was quaint enough to leave it that way.
The bus ran for several months without a muffler. 5)
International
6 Cylinder, Turbo charged Diesel. Same
as the other international with similar performance results. 6)
Mercedes
4 cylinder Turbo Diesel 5-speed. This
was a brand new engine with 0 miles. Again
the mechanic insisted on us installing the device on the engine before
startup. Results were the
same, Starting with a new
engine allowed the oil to stay cleaner much longer. 7)
International
6 Cylinder, Turbo charged Diesel 5-speed.
This engine was in desperate need of rebuilding.
It puffed huge clouds of black smoke continuously, the open
crankcase vent also spued copious amounts of thick oil vapor and
combustion contaminants. Power
was extremely low and acceleration was poor.
The engine also ran hot and had very low oil pressure.
After installation, power levels improved and acceleration became
normal. The thick smoke was
reduced approx. 50% and of course the open vent’s toxic vapors were
recycled and eliminated, or rather converted into useful organic radicals.
The bus ran like this for nearly a year before it was finally
rebuilt. 1972 Land cruiser 4x4 - 4 cylinder diesel 4-speed manual transmission.
This vehicle has many miles of farm labor and smokes excessively as
a result of years of abuse and neglect.
IT could not pass air-care and could not be licensed.
The owner wanted a device to improve its performance on the farm.
However, after installation, the engine stopped smoking and ran
incredibly well. An air-care
test was performed and it passed with very low emissions.
A license was issued and the owner used the vehicle for daily
transportation. Installed June
2002- present. ICE Generator: Nordberg 9 Cylinder -
2 Stroke 5000 H.P, 240 RPM Diesel engine.
Attached to a 3.2 Megawatt Generator.
This engine is 32 feet long, 14 feet high ad 7 feet wide.
It burns #6 bunker diesel fuel that must be heated to 180F before
it will flow through the injector pump.
These engines run for 12 hours at a time usually for several months
during the year. Since the
engines are over 50 years old (1951) they have been rebuilt and worked on
many times over the years. The
vibration is considerable and the concrete floor must be replaced after
due to stress cracks and deterioration. The noise of the engine under load
is extreme, about 107db. Smoke
opacity was about 40% and NOX emissions were very high.
The engine responded very slowly to power or load changes.
Adjusting the engine to maintain a certain power-load rating is
quite difficult and the operator must manipulate the controls with coarse,
rapid actions. Dozens of U.S
and Canadian companies have approached ICE to sell products to improve the
function of these Nordberg engines. No
one has succeeded to date. After
installation, the most immediate changes occurred in engine vibration. The
vibration levels dropped over 70%. Smoke opacity reduced almost
immediately to levels unnoticeable by untrained observers.
NOX emissions were reduced 21% which is quite significant
considering that Caterpillar is struggling to reduce their new engines NOX
emissions by only 10% using computers and special injectors.
When asked about the power and torque differences, the operating
engineer emphatically explained how much better and then demonstrated the
performance increase. Normally
to extract more Kilowatts from the generator, a small wheel is turned,
which for the most part simply allows more fuel to the engine, and the
engine produces more torque. Normally
the wheel must be turned 1-2 full turns before the engine responds and
produces an increase in Kilowatts. Now,
however, even a slight turn of the wheel, ¼ turn, will provide a
considerable boost in performance. The
engine accelerates harder and faster than ever before but in turn it also
runs cooler and is quieter. Exact
fuel consumption comparisons are not easy on such large, outdated
equipment but it appears that the increase in torque and acceleration is
providing a significant improvement in economy.
Also, because these engines use such large quantities of
lubricating oil, a small oil refining station is used to extract
combustion induced water from the oil approximately every 3 hours of
engine operation. However,
once this device was installed the transparent hoses connected to the
device to transfer the hydrocarbon radicals back to the air system
contained several liters of water, which was extracted from the allegedly
water free oil. This means
that even a small water separating oil refining system was not as
effective as this device in removing water from used crankcase oil.
This device separates water from the oil because of the ionic
charged created in the device. Installed
Nov 2002-, April 2003- New model in April 2003 to present 1985 Volkswagen Golf
- 4 Cylinder automatic, gasoline. The
owner is the manager of the ICE generator plant.
His car could not pas air care because it burns oil and is in need
of a complete engine overhaul. However, I wanted to prove to him how well
this device works, even on his worn out motor.
After installation, he noticed an immediate improvement in
acceleration and overall performance.
The engine ran very smooth and quiet after.
After 2 weeks of driving, he passed air care with nearly zero
emissions and the engine gained about 35% better fuel economy. 1984 Volkswagen Mini van 4
Cylinder Standard – A gasoline engine.
This engine was unable to pass air care because of
excessive hydrocarbon emissions and carbon monoxide.
The owner’s mechanic was unable to tune the engine and it got
very poor gas mileage because of the over-rich mixture.
The air care reading indicated 1200pp, of HC and the legal limit is
300ppm. The owner is a manager
in the ICE company and is responsible for maintaining the 5000 HP Nordberg
generator. To prove to him how
well this device works, I installed one on his Volkswagen.
Again the owner returned to air care for an emissions test.
This time he passed with near zero emissions.
The HC emission were only 13ppm.
He was so amazed that he took off the device and tried another
emissions test and failed with extremely high hydrocarbons and carbon
monoxide again. He also noted
that it was very difficult to drive because of the reduced performance
without the device installed. After
these experiments, he re-installed the device pass his air care emissions
again and enjoyed driving his van. He
also noted several months later that the spark plugs were unbelievably
clean. Once the respect of these two managers in ICE was earned, working
with them on the ICE Nordberg generator was great because of their
support. 1995 Dodge Lebaron Car - A 3
liter V6 5-speed standard, gasoline. This
car runs fine and the owner loves its performance.
I installed a device and the owner used the car without knowing.
After returning from a trip, the owner was extremely excited with
the performance and drivability of the car.
I explained why the car worked so much better but the owner already
realized that I had made some changes to the engine.
The engine oil has not been changed for well over a year, approx
15000km and it is still clear. The
mileage has improved about 40%. Installed
May 2003 – Present Deutz 4 Cylinder 90hp - Air cooled non turbo Diesel water pump.
This engine is very old and gets very little maintenance.
It works very hard pumping water to irrigate fields several 100
meters up hill. The engine
runs very hot and smokes excessively.
The oil becomes black almost immediately after a fresh oil change.
Sensitive, professional test equipment was used from the University
to measure exhaust contaminants before and after the installation of the
device. Before the
installation, the smoke opacity was 80%, the NOX emissions were 2,400ppm,
CO 1500ppm, and carbon concentration of 7gpm3. exhaust temperature was
425C under load. After
installation the engine was run at full load for several hours and
measurements were taken every 30minutes. Initially the opacity became
worse and the carbon emissions increased from 7gpm3 to 52gpm3.
However, after 30 minutes it became less and less as the engine was
cleaned of years of carbon accumulation.
After 2 hours the opacity dropped to 5% and the carbon emissions
were reduced to less then .0015 gpm3.
As well, the CO emissions dropped to 750ppm.
The engines exhaust temperature dropped from 425C to 325c under
full load and the engine temperature became normal rather than
overheating. Engine vibration
and sound was also reduced approx 50%.
Interestingly, the oil remained clear for many hours. Sod Cutter - Briggs & Stratton 1 Cylinder 8 HP Gasoline.
The engine was old and had very poor maintenance.
It emitted more smoke than a diesel engine.
It was forced to work extremely hard and as a result vibrated
excessively and ran very hot. The
operator would become dizzy and sick after only one hour of work.
Professional emission test equipment was used from the University
and it was found that this small engine emitted over 40,000ppm of CO
emissions, which accounted for the operator’s sickness.
The device was installed and the engine was worked hard.
After several hours of use the emissions were taken and this time
the CO levels dropped 80%. Sensitive
gas chromatograph experiments were performed as well of the hydrocarbon
emissions before and after the installation of the device.
Interestingly, the test equipment indicated that before the
installation the hydrocarbon emissions were extremely toxic complex
molecules with an 80% ratio of carcinogenic compounds.
After the installation of this device however, there was not even
one percent of carcinogenic compounds detected.
This was a result of the devices ability to completely dissociate
large hydrocarbon structures into non=toxic elements.
The engine’s performance also improved considerably and the
vibration levels, sound and temperatures dropped substantially as a
result. After these tests the workers chose this machine over all of the
others, including some brand new Hondas, because of the reduced vibration
and performance increase. Of
course, it was also a lot safer to breath in its vicinity.
Installed May 2002 – present. 1984 Nissan Sentra - 4 Cylinder 4-speed manual, gasoline, high performance.
The owner is the chief aviation mechanic at a local airport.
He takes great pride in his work and built his car to exact high
performance tolerances, as well, he uses the highest grade aviation fuel
available. He is a
professional and really knows engines well.
Even a slight change in performance is noticeable to him.
Even with the highest grade aviation fuel, 130 octane, he still had
midlevel emissions readings at air care, and of course, performance
enthusiast always are looking for more power.
After installation, the mechanic noticed an increased performance
immediately. He estimated a
25% increase in acceleration and torque.
The engine ran much smoother and quieter.
His emission test indicated a 70% reduction and the air care
facility was seriously considering dismantling and investigating his
engine because they thought he might be cheating.
There is also a very interesting effect this device has on leaded
fuels used for aviation. It seems that the lead sticks to spark plugs and
valves causing maintenance problems as well as reduced performance as lead
deposits accumulate. However, it was noted by the aviation mechanic that
this device eliminates lead deposits completely from his spark plugs which
normally must be frequently cleaned and /or replaced.
After installation of the device, frequent inspections revealed no
traces of lead what so ever. This
indicates that aviation engines which face similar maintenance problems
will also benefit with this invention. 1989 GMC S-15 Jimmy - 4.3 Liter V6 automatic gasoline.
This vehicle has had virtually no maintenance for several years,
but was driven frequently. The
oil was similar to tar and the valve seals leaked bad enough to foul the
spark plugs and stop the engine from running every 200km.
Gas mileage was about 16mpg and the engine was difficult to drive
because of poor performance. Also,
descending long hills caused brake failures because of almost non-existent
engine breaking. After
installing, the engine responded immediately with considerably improved
performance in acceleration and power.
Vibration and sound were reduced to the point where it became
difficult for passengers to tell if the engine was even running at all.
It was as if the vehicle simply coasted everywhere.
Fuel economy improved to 22mpg city driving and over 32mpg on the
highway. Air care emissions
tests indicated very low exhaust contaminants.
Compression braking improved dramatically and in many cases brakes
were not even necessary on downhill excursions.
The vehicle would simply hold and maintain its speed without
accelerating on most down hills. This made driving much easier, as well,
the degraded valve seals were never replaced and yet the spark plugs never
fouled again. In fact, frequent inspections always revealed perfectly
clean spark plugs even after two years of considerable use. Engine
oil remains clear even after months of driving and several thousand
accumulated kilometers. Installed
October 2001. 2003 1997 Honda Quad racer – 350cc 4-stroke 1 cylinder gasoline, air-cooled.
This bike ran good but fouled spark plugs quickly and was quite
loud and vibrated a lot. The
device was installed and the owner test drove it before he allowed his
kids to use it. He noticed an
immediate improvement in power and reduction in sound and vibration.
The kids later, who where not informed of the installation of the
device, were amazed at how much faster and quieter their quad was.
Installed August 2002-present 2000 3 Cylinder Air conditioner Reefer, Diesel.
This motor is mounted on an ice cream delivery truck.
This cooling unit was only 7 months old.
It runs approx 3-5 hours per day. The oil is changed every 3
months. The oil was very black
upon inspection. After
installation of an older device with a built in sludge chamber we found
approx. 2 cups of water in it after only 3 hours of operation. The water
was drained and not even a drop was found during further inspections in
more than 100 hours of operation. The absence of further water in the
chamber indicates that there was no longer any water remaining in the oil.
The electro-chemical reaction in the device is strong and, as a
side effect, draws the water in the crankcase into the device.
The water normally reacts with the oil to form acids, which damage
internal engine components. This
device, however conveniently removes the water effectively eliminating
internal corrosion. The new
device does not need a sludge chamber and any water drawn into it is
simply emitted into the combustion chamber.
Only used oil contains water in engines without a device installed
because the water is a bi-product of combustion, which gradually passes by
the rings into the crankcase gradually contaminating the oil.
Being slightly electro-negative, the water is drawn into the
electro chemical reactions inside the device and effectively eliminated.
We also noticed that the engine ran smoother and quieter as well as
emitting almost no smoke. Installed
Nov 2000 – Dec 2000. 1990 Bobcat tractor – 3-cylinder diesel.
This engine gets regular maintenance but it works very hard all day
and the oil is always black as tar. The
engine smokes a lot as well, approx. 70% opacity.
After installation, the tractor immediately sounded quieter.
After several hours of fieldwork, the smoke was reduced approx 70%.
The operator noted a substantial increase in performance and decrease in
vibration. The engine oil
stayed clean for several weeks before slowly becoming darker.
Because this type of equipment accelerates and changes engine RPM
quickly and very frequently, it would b expected never to have spotless
clean oil, as in a large tractor. However, it did stay incredibly clean
and it never contained water. 1985 Versatile 4x4 Tractor
– Front-end loader, 4 Cylinder diesel (approx 100hp).
This tractor accelerates and decelerates all day long because of it
versatility with the front-end loader.
When it works hard it puffs clouds of black smoke.
It loses power easily when pushed hard.
The oil becomes black reasonably fast, usually after 1-2 hours of
use. After installing the device and of course, installing fresh oil, the
operator immediately noticed smoother acceleration and quieter engine
noise (less combustion knock). Working
with the tractor was easier and smoother.
The power increase was very much appreciated and made working with
the equipment faster and less tiring.
A very interesting, but familiar by now, observation, was that the
oil was again spotless as it was with other construction equipment with
this device installed. Even
after 10 hard hours of work, this engine still had absolutely spotless
engine oil. Installed
September 2003. Gord Trick
- Diesel mechanic for the district of Hope.
In charge of service and maintenance on the towns fire trucks, town
maintenance vehicles, tractors and construction equipment. May 2006 he purchased a catalyst for his personal 2004
Chevrolet 4x4, 3/4 ton Duramax diesel.
His truck is in near perfect condition and he uses it for daily
transportation and towing horse trailers on the weekends.
He has considerable experience with engines and drives expertly.
His Duramax diesel is already considered, in the industry, to be
one of the smoothest and most powerful engines.
His comments are as follows: the engine has greater throttle
response making it more responsive to drive in the city where the turbo
has no time to spool up. As a
result his fuel economy improved approximately 20%.
The engine’s coolant temperature dropped noticeably indicating
improvements to the thermal efficiency of the engine; more power with less
heat and lower fuel consumption. As
well, the engine’ compression braking improved allowing the truck to
decelerate on highway off ramps without using the brakes.
He also noted that the engine’s oil stayed perfectly clean for
much longer between oil change intervals.
It should be noted that the 2004 Duramax has an open crankcase
ventilation system and once we enclosed the system with the catalyst the
engine not only performed much better, but the oil became even cleaner.
In comparison, the 2006 Duramax has an enclosed crankcase system
and all of the owners have noted that the oil becomes black much, much
sooner than the older models with an open crankcase vent.
We have demonstrated over and over that we can effectively enclose
the crankcase ventilation system with our catalytic system and the oil
will maintain cleanliness for considerably longer.
Gord’s comments reinforce the observations of many others.
Gord’s experience with this new technology on his
personal, prized truck has prompted him to recommend, sell and install our
catalytic systems to the following: 2005 - VW
Jetta diesel
turbo charged. His comments
included much smoother operation with less vibration and the increase in
performance provided a 6% increase in fuel economy. 2004 - KIA
mini van with a 6 cylinder. Gasoline engine Comments: Runs smoother, better acceleration and
approximately 10 % better economy, Also
the oil filter cap indicated considerable water in the oil, from lack of
frequent oil changes, became spotlessly clean in less than an hour of
driving. 2004 - KIA
car with a
4-cylinder gas engine. Comments: Runs smoother and more powerful 2001 -
Honda car
with a 4 cylinder gas engine. Comments: Noticeably smoother and faster especially while
climbing mountain highways. He
liked it so much he bought another unit for his truck. 2000 -
Chev ½ ton
6.0 litre V - 8 gas engine Comments: Smoother and better performance 1995 -
Dodge car,
V-6 gas engine. Comments: Much better acceleration and performance
especially on the steep mountain highways. The engine runs smoother and
starts easier. 1982 -
International gravel truck - 6 cylinder
diesel w/turbo and intercooler owned by the district.
Gord recommended to his boss that this truck required our catalytic
system to reduce the excessive smoke and to help the engine start better
as it was well known to require frequent starter replacement because of
its poor starting characteristics. Comments: The smoke was reduced significantly even when
cold. Acceleration and general performance improved with reduced
vibration. The starting characteristics improved considerably. 1985 -
Tractor, 3 cyl diesel
- owned by the district. Gord
recommended our catalytic system to help reduce the considerable
emissions, which tend to infiltrate the tractor’s cab causing the
operators to become tired easily and very uncomfortable.
1989 -
Fire truck w/Cummins 6 cylinder - Diesel w/turbo and intercooler.
This truck has only 16,000km and was in near perfect condition,
however it is severely under powered.
Its absolute maximum top speed on a level highway is approximately
100 km/hour. The acceleration
characteristics are also very poor because of the lack of power, automatic
transmission and heavy load of water that the truck must continuously
carry. Comments: After the catalytic devices were installed, the
operator noticed during an emergency response that the truck started much
faster, accelerated out of the building much quicker and was able to
achieve 120 km/hour on the highway. The
operator was so impressed that he contacted Gord (the mechanic) and asked
what he had done to the engine to make it so much better.
The operator also bought the catalytic devices for his personal
truck 2 days later. 2001 -
Dodge 3/4 ton -
4x4, 6 cyl. Cummins diesel w/turbo and intercooler. Owned by the fire
truck operator Don Wiens. Comments: Faster starting, smoother, quieter, improved
acceleration and torque. It shifted into a higher gear sooner and it
didn’t stumble or vibrate. Fuel
economy also improved. 1998 -
Fire truck w/ Ford 6 cyl diesel – A turbo charged, automatic transmission.
This truck was severely under powered and as a result was very slow
to accelerate. It ran warm and
generally was unpleasant to drive even though it is in excellent factory
condition. Comments: After installing the catalytic devices the
vehicle accelerated much faster and operated with a considerable reduction
in coolant temperature. The
original operator was not informed of the installation but realized very
quickly that the engine had been worked on because of the increased
acceleration characteristics and lack of vibration that normally causes
the steering wheel to vibrate to such a degree as to become uncomfortable.
Now, the steering wheel vibration was nearly eliminated.
It should also be noted that this engine had an open crankcase vent
system and as a result required a tray underneath the vehicle when parked
to catch and contain the rather significant amounts of oil sludge dripping
from the vent tube. The
installation of the crankcase catalyst completely eliminated the open vent
system allowing the parking garage to remain clean.
The operator of this truck also purchased a device for his personal
vehicle. 1997 -
Chevrolet ½ ton
– A V-8 gas engine, automatic, well maintained, but had many miles on
it. Scott, the owner of this
truck and driver of the fire truck, purchased a catalytic system to
improve its performance. In
the first ten minutes of driving with the catalyst installed he noted the
engine to have become considerably smoother, quieter and more responsive
to throttle input. In the next
two months he experienced better fuel economy and a significant torque
increase while driving in the mountains.
The interesting thing about Scott’s noteworthy comment is that he
is the manager of a high performance parts store and has several years of
experience with hundreds of performance parts.
Even with his extensive experience in this field, he has never
known a product to offer so much improvement to a vehicle’s overall
function regardless of price. He
has since recommended devices to number of his friends. 1978 -
Fire truck - V-8 gasoline engine with carburetor, automatic transmission.
This truck is not slow or under powered but is extremely difficult
to start and maintain running condition for the first 30 minutes of
operation. Even with a tune up
and adjusting the carburetor, it could not be adjusted to run well when
cold.
Comments: The engine responded very well with the device and
although it has not been driven much since the installation, it appeared
that its cold starting and running problems were resolved.
