Test to record the improved engine performance after an Ethos HydroGenX unit is fitted.
 
The Test
This is a comparison analysis to record engine performance before and after the installation of a HydroGenX unit.
 
Test Engine
  • 1972 Chevrolet OHV 4 cyl. single throat carter carburettor naturally aspirated.
  • Cubic inch 153.
  • Engine has approx. 100,000 miles on it and is OEM.
 
Additives
  • Engine oil is 15/50 Delvac by Mobil.
  • Gasoline used thru out testing is Phillips 66 86 0ctane.
  • Batch lot on gasoline will stay the same thru out testing.
 
Hardware/Modifications
  • An electric fuel pump with pressure regulator transfers gasoline from a measured one litre container to the carburettor which has no air cleaner and the hood is left open during testing.
  • This engine has no electronic controls or sensors.
 
Extra Information
Geographic elevation is 7300' above sea level.
 
Test Parameters
  • Testing was done on days when humidity was 10%.
  • The electrolyte is batch mixed and blended to draw 20 amperes energy .
  • The caustic is KOH.
  • Water used was carbon filtered and magnetically softened.
  • PH is 7.2..before blending.
  • There is no chlorine to contend with as a deep well provides water for this procedure.
  • The engine is well tuned and set to idle at 1500 RPM as measured with the use of an electronic tachometer.
  • Coolant temperature will remain at a constant 180 degrees F.
  • Ambient temperature was 50 degrees constant.
  • Sun light was not allowed so as to not be an issue.
  • The engine was allowed ten minutes warm up before switching to the measured one litre fuel bottle.
 
Test Results
  • At the moment of switching an electronic elapsed time unit is energised.
  • Simple results are as follows:
    • Timer 0 1 litre full HydroGenX amp draw 21 amps.
    • End test Timer 1140 sec.
    • One litre fuel source M/T.
    • Tachometer 1940 RPM.
    • HydroGenX off gas was introduced with a tube inserted 2 inches into top of carburettor.
    • Refilled the one litre fuel bottle and repeated the run again without the HydroGenX unit.
    • Engine stabilized at 1510 RPM.
    • Fuel expired at 945 sec.
 
Test Conclusions

In summary, we had an 800 rpm gain along with an extra 195 seconds of running time.

Using these basic test figures, and applying them to the various tire, wheel sizes and gear ratios used today, I conservatively estimate that this would give an improvement in MPG of between  25 to 30 percent.

We still have various other sizes of the HydroGenX units to test on both petrol and diesel engines, ranging in size from 30 Ci to 1150 Ci.
