The Hy-Impact product line of fuel saving and harmful emissions reducing hydrogen systems uses hydrogen as a catalyst in order to more effectively burn fuel. Hydrogen is separated from water via the process of electrolysis allowing a precise amount of hydrogen gas to be introduced into the engine's combustion chamber, creating a significantly more efficient fuel burn. Hy-Impact's patent-pending CPU technology ensures the correct amount of hydrogen is introduced, while no moisture enters the engine, resulting in a dramatic increase in fuel economy while substantially lowering harmful emissions.
