.: Clean, Efficient Hydrogen Generation Technology :.
Discovered more than 80 years ago, sonochemistry uses ultrasound to promote chemical reactions— making them faster and more efficient. At power ultrasound frequencies (20 kHz — 2 MHz), tiny “cavitation„ bubbles appear. As they pop, they increase water temperature, making it easier to extract hydrogen from water molecules.
Electrolysis
Used for years in manufacturing, Electrolysis separates chemically-bonded compounds by passing an electric current through them.
H2 Technologies combines sonochemistry and electrolysis in a unique, patent-pending process to produce hydrogen from water. We owe much of our success to Dr. John Allen of the University of Hawaii Engineering faculty. Dr. Allen is a leading expert in sonochemistry.
Our approach to hydrogen generation distinguishes us from other technologies, such as Reverse Fuel Cell and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)Electrolyzers or Steam Methane Reformers.
We focus exclusively on using clean, renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal, to produce the electricity required to generate hydrogen.
Our technology is highly efficient, scalable, and manufactured of readily-available materials —making it practical and cost-effective for environments of all sizes.
Proof of Concept:
To demonstrate the use of hydrogen as a transportation fuel, the H2 Technologies team converted a moped to run on compressed hydrogen gas. The moped is now on display at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii (NELHA). We’ve also modified a Suzuki Samurai and a bicycle to run on hydrogen gas.
Our beta hydrogen generation unit is 75% efficientﾑmeeting the U.S. Department of Energy efficiency goal for electrolysis.
