Q.
What does the driver have to do to operate
the HyZor?
A.
A driver's responsibility is basically the
refilling water. The yellow light will
indicate the need for water. Refill with
steam-distilled water.
Should a
driver forget to fill or miss seeing the
yellow low-level light, the ER HyZor will
simply stay shut down until water is added.
This will prevent operation if the fluid
level is too low. Inadequate water causes
irreparable damage to the cells.

Q.
How much water do I add?
A.
When the yellow light indicates that liquid
is low, add from 10 mL to 50 mL of distilled
water into the ER HyZor chamber.

Q.
Is the ER HyZor safe?
A. In short
Yes!
We have
addressed every possible safety concern while
bringing the HyZor Technology to you in a
simple, practical and inexpensive form.
The current
design is based on experience with various
'on-board electrolyzer' designs since 1978
and comprehensive research of Brown's Gas
since 1991. We have achieved a system that is
safer than the battery and fuel systems that
are already installed in the
vehicle.
We designed
the ER HyZor to produce Brown's Gas only when
the engine is actually running, so there
would never be a buildup of hydrogen gas in
the intake manifold.
We use
sodium hydroxide as the catalyst because it
is much less caustic than potassium hydroxide
and we have found it to be more efficient in
actual testing. Further, it is much easier
and less expensive to acquire.
The ER HyZor
inherently self-limits its amperage so it
cannot 'short' out. The main reason we
recommend a fuse in the system is to make it
simple to shut off the power to the ER
HyZor.

Q.
What happens if the ER HyZor is impacted in
an accident?
A. If it
breaks open, it will leak the sodium
hydroxide and distilled water mixture. Sodium
hydroxide is lye, which is a common household
drain cleaner. Immediately wash any spill
with lots of water, until the 'slippery'
feeling is gone.
Lye is
produced when burning wood, as in a forest
fire, so it is environmentally benign when
mixed with copious water.

Q.
How much Brown's Gas does the ER HyZor
produce?
A. That
depends on the amperage going through the ER
HyZor. The formula to calculate gas
production is:
((A / 26.8)
* 16.8) * C = Liters of 2H2:O2 (Brown's
Gas)
A = Actual
DC amps flowing through your electrolyzer (ER
HyZor).
26.8 = amps
per hour (one Faraday).
16.8 = molar
volume (in liters) of di-atomic hydrogen and
oxygen gas produced per Faraday.
C = Number
of cells in your series-cell electrolyzer (ER
HyZor has 6 cells).
For example,
if we have 2 amps flowing through a 6 cell
electrolyzer. Our formula looks like this:
((2 / 26.8) * 16.8) * 6 = 7.5 Liters per hour
of 2H2 : O2 (Brown's Gas).

Q.
How much water does the ER HyZor
use?
A. When
liquid water is split into 2H2:O2 (Brown's
Gas), it expands 1866 times. 1 mL of water
will make 1866 mL of Brown's Gas.
How much
water your ER HyZor will use depends on the
amperage going through the ER HyZor. Amperage
is what actually splits water into hydrogen
and oxygen.
2 amps will
make 7.5 (7500 mL) Liters per hour of Brown's
Gas.
7500 mL /
1866 = 4 mL of water per hour. There is some
water going out as water vapor as well.
At 2 amps,
we calculate 5 mL of water for each hour the
ER HyZor is on.

Q.
How many amps will the ER HyZor draw in
operation?
A. The ER
HyZor (Basic) kit is designed to self-limit
amperage between 1 and 2.5 amps. This
amperage creates a volume of gas that works
well for most engines in the 2-liter to
5-liter range.
For engines
less than 2 liters we recommend less
amperage, which requires our hall-effect
(amperage limiting) upgrade.
For engines
over 5 liters we recommend two or more ER
HyZors as applicable.
