Fuel of the future available now

While California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger waits with bated breath for automobile manufacturers to produce hydrogen-fueled vehicles, his vision of the “Hydrogen Highway” sits on the back burner. How many years it will take before hydrogen cars are ready for mass production, is anybody’s guess. But a local entrepreneur is actually doing something about this issue and has teamed up with an inventor in Wellington, NV to produce and market a Hydrogen Generator® add-on for combustion engines.

Livermore, CA resident, David Jewell, owns a little-known "green" business that he believes is about to explode. Jewell launched National Vapor Industries, Inc. (NVI), several years ago to produce and market Vapor Generators - devices that create copious amounts of steam using a very efficient, patented bottled gas process. Jewell has used Vapor Generators to clean up badly polluted soil, kill pernicious weeds and even power turbines. He is in negotiations with power companies overseas to use his Vapor Generators as a commercial means of producing electricity.

Incorporated in Nevada, NVI presently uses Livermore, CA labor and vendors to manufacture, market and install its products, the latest of which, is the Hydrogen Generator®, “A device whose time has come,” Jewell insists. The term Hydrogen Generator® is something of a misnomer since the generator actually produces what scientists refer to as “brown gas,” a mixture of hydrogen, oxygen and water vapor, made from plain old H₂O using electrolysis, a process every child learns about in science class.

“It’s just insane that we are hung up on environment-killing oil company products when there are millions of cubic kilometers of non-polluting fuel everywhere around us,” Jewell said, “Water is the perfect energy source that just needs a little electricity to break it down into its constituent gases. We separate those gases and direct them into the intake system of combustion engines - truck, bus, car, you name it, where they combine again to produce energy.” As one may recall from elementary school, hydrogen and oxygen can be mixed harmlessly in a balloon. The gases can then be reconstituted into water using a spark or flame, producing energy with a deafening bang. Unlike carbon-based fuels, there is absolutely no pollution created when the two gases unite.

Jewell said the Hydrogen Generator® is an add-on that supplements normal fuel, making any engine more efficient, improving power, increasing mileage and reducing toxic pollution. “The amount of improvement will vary depending upon engine displacement and other factors,” he said, “But anyone using the device can expect a dramatic improvement they can’t get even close to using any other product or additive.”

As for the electrolysis process itself, inventor Matt Schadeck, has applied what he calls an innovative, patent-applied-for approach to NVI’s Hydrogen Generator® in order to make it ultra efficient. “No one is doing electrolysis like we do it and our generator produces gases like you wouldn’t believe,” Schadeck said. He and Jewell are working with CAARB, The California Air Resources Board and the United States Department of Commerce to obtain approval and recognition for their invention. Their corporation is a member of the California Hydrogen Business Council and patents have been applied for.

Jewell said a national laboratory is even now testing NVI’s Hydrogen Generator® and several units have been installed in various vehicles from buses to pickup trucks and passenger cars. He fully expects these test units to prove their worth and he has already obtained the bar coding required to realize fleet sales and market to chain stores. “We haven’t forgotten retail customers, either," Jewell said, "Individuals can buy the Hydrogen Generator® right off of our Website at www.nationalvapor.com for $2,000 - a real bargain when you consider the price of fuel and how much mileage a person can save.”

Jewell recently emailed California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger offering to provide demo Hydrogen Generators® for testing on state vehicles. He also made a recent presentation to the City of San Francisco and that jurisdiction is looking into using Generators® on some of its 20,000 vehicles. Jewell is also looking for people to help market the device and persons interested in this kind of opportunity can email him at davidjewell1@comcast.net or call (925) 980-7341.
