I’m happy to see another solution available for probably any of the big rigs rolling today. Kudos to Arlene and Lodgewood for wanting to do their part.
Hydrogen has a lower combustion temp... Diesels starting better at much colder temps. It happens to be a byproduct of the system but would be a MAJOR selling point for equipment operators and drivers in Cold regions.
You need to use hydrogen on demand it has four times more energy density that of bottled hydrogen I have data from the lab and data from real world testing.
This is a DD13 or DD15 engine. This truck already uses an aftertreatment system with a Diesel Particulate Filter and DEF injection. It just uses less diesel fuel per horsepower, so theoretically it should have much lower emissions, and probably less frequent DPF regen. Based on this video, if anything malfunctions in the aftertreatment and sets a trouble code, the hydra system will shut itself off and the truck will essentially run like stock.
Good question! If it comes from methane it's not green hydrogen. Grey hydrogen is traditionally produced from methane (CH4), split with steam into CO2 - the main culprit for climate change
Thank you so much for the question! The low-carbon hydrogen that Hydra is using in our Prince George station is produced via two 5MW electrolysers, with electricity coming from BC Hydro. The hydrogen is produced on-site at our hydrogen refuelling station.
Very wise use of H2 to reduce use of fossil fuels. What sdjustments do you do to the oxygen sensors in order to account for the introduction of H2 into the air intake? Undrer steady state conditions what is the Vol% of the H2 gas in the air intake? I would appreciate to have an answer. Many thanks. Chris
I put one on my car 15 years ago no noticable change ..ran from alternator ..but ....if you use solar to generate hho .then your onto a winner.mike Scotland
Using an engine to make its own fuel is just an exercise in releasing heat. Every step of the way, you're wasting energy, and at no time is there new energy being introduced into the system. If you powered the HHO generator off your workout bicycle, then the energy of your own body would be used to create fuel. As it is, you're burning gasoline with extra steps to just waste more energy. It does run a bit cleaner than gas, though.
Hydra does not provide hydrogen conversion kits for standalone purchase. Instead we offer the world's first Hydrogen-as-a-Service™ in coordination with our proprietary technology. We install hydrogen-diesel co-combustion conversion kits into commercial fleet trucks and provide hydrogen fueling stations at no cost to the fleet owner. In exchange, the fleet owner signs a contract with Hydra to buy hydrogen exclusively from us. Our focus is on converting heavy-duty Class 8 trucks at the moment.
I find it hilarious that there are so many commenters here that expect to have their highly technical questions about most-likely proprietary information divulged by the company on youtube. Might as well ask Google for their algorithms while you're at it.
Hi Tim, that's a great question thank you. Hydra has just broken ground on the world's largest hydrogen refuelling station. It will be available for our customers to fuel at in early 2024. Check out our other videos to see a flyover tour of the refuelling station & production site as well as speeches from the groundbreaking.
Hello so I am Scott from Central valley hho. I have been doing this technology for 13 years. Bottled hydrogen is not the equivalent to hydroxy hydrogen. I've done certified test gas test in the gas that we make as a percentage of diatomic and Ortho hydrogen and oxygen which the btu volume has been much greater than bottle hydrogen by four times that's in simple in lame man's terms. Also we have EO for California I have hardcore data with lab certified pieces of test equipment showing upwards of 35 and 45% on fuel savings and zero kox coming out the tailpipe we have a controller that is mapped to the load on the engine just thought I'd share that with you.
Do love what you guys are doing though keep up the good work a great thing about having hydrogen in a bottle as you can charge for it totally agree with that.
Also to share with you a typical 18 wheeler that drives 80 to 100,000 miles I am saving them upwards of maintenance cost fuel savings of over 45,000 per truck per year that is a lot of money saved I am working with multiple companies around the world in eight different countries thought I'd share that with you.
You don't say what ratio of hydrogen the engine uses to diesel but I guess it must be pretty small (1600l diesel/every 120l hydrogen). You are wrong in saying there are no emissions from burning hydrogen as nitrous oxide is given off. NOx is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 by a factor of 100. The diesel/hydrogen ratio is critical in keeping these emissions to a minimum. What would be the total NOx emissions of this vehicle including the diesel? Is less diesel used overall because of the hydrogen additive? What effect does it have on economy and power? In the term 'CO reduction', is the method of production of the hydrogen and the supply chain taken into account?
Thank you so much for your questions. Hydra is able to displace up to 40% of diesel with hydrogen using our proprietary hydrogen-diesel co-combustion retrofit kit. Lifecycle emissions are taken into account including from the low-carbon hydrogen we are producing at our refuelling station in Prince George.

If it only did a 20% boost, which I'm sure it does more than that, each semi would save $15,700~ a year, some more some less, on gas with the way prices are right now. An advanced system less powerful than what they have going could accomplish that so I'm sure they're probably doing 50% or more with that pressurized system. These semis will save more per year than most people make per year, and the more it costs to transport products across the country so you can buy them the more those products are going to start costing. The government won't stop until gas prices are over $10 and people are forced to buy electric because they can't pay gas prices week to week, and why would they do that? Exactly because more and more innovators are catching on and directing towards making pre-existing combustion engines not only run on large supplements of hydrogen, but eventually they will replace all diesel/gasoline combustion engines' fuel sources with water. The goal is to get as many engines off the road and into the landfill before that momentum starts happening. They did this with carburetors back in the 80's after decades of inventors modifying them to get 100 MPG, Ford even had a vehicle leave the factory with 40-50 MPG. Those carbs were recalled and sent to a landfill never to be seen again. THAT is how much the US government wants you to have a fuel efficient vehicle. It's becoming a worldwide initiative. Next year in Europe they're actually going to OUTLAW the owning of these 45-50 MPG diesel VW vehicles. This company doing what they do is the stepping stone that shows the next generation where there is smoke there is fire, and before long someone does manage to not only invent a system that runs engines on water (because it's been done before, SEVERAL times, but the innovators keep dying miraculously), but get it into the market before something bad happens to them or their company. I've been developing my own hydrogen system, stricly supplement and with a mind for simplicity and wide-scale scalability for most consumer cars (not the semi industry like these guys) and will be starting my own business here this month. The key is to stay under the radar as much as possible. I hope these HydraEnergy guys see this comment and don't get prolific with social media updates. Just do local word of mouth sales. Otherwise you guys are going to start having problems, or people are going to start dying. BTW, I like the name. I've never heard of you guys, but I'm going to be using Hydra in the name of one of my generator designs. I came up with it in 2018, and developed a scripted 10-part action-music-video series about it that has no talking and is all action so it translates world wide. The story of another hydrogen innovator that starting receiving visitations from hitmen, but as it turns out he's Rambo-Terminator-Batman'Damme and can't be killed. I'm more excited about the series now than I am about the invention or the business.

Great video overviewing the Hydra process!
Very interesting video.
It seems that not everything is limited to fuel cell stack regards the use of Hydrogen in transportation.
This is not h2 fuel cell electric motored truck! t
his is hybrid H2-diesel combustion engine truck
Good to see hydrogen coming, it makes sense in many ways. 👍
Thanks Again Great Video
Hoping this really catches on.
Thank you for posting this interesting informative video
Inspirational ...good job

How are you controlling the NOX emissions?

How do I get the kits in Nigeria
What is the source of your hydrogen, thanks.

If you are charging the customer similar cost for hydrogen as they would pay for diesel then what is the point
Hi Jo, I hope you are well. It’s in interesting Video. I’m send greetings from Germany
WHAT ABOUT FOR AUTOMOBILES??? WHAT ARE THE PERFORMANCE STAT'S COST VS SAVINGS

where can u fill up h2? that is problem?
i think it will be much better have HHO generator to supply H2 than fill up H2gas from station
Absolutely right with our technology we gain better fuel savings results and emission results with hydrogen on demand.

Hydrogen is the future - Electric vehicles are powered by batteries which do not have sufficient energy density to power a truck
Yes you are right I've been in the business for 13 years in the last 2 years has been out of control busy.

They want as to put a load in the slipper,if they can, and you put more weight on the truck.😊
wow
W mojej Scania mam taki sam system

Totallly pointless if it is not 100% hydrogen running.

You cannot call hydrogen a green fuel if you're gonna burn it. Period.
