Gorilla Development LLC Raises the Bar in the Hydrogen Fuel Technologies Race.
01.29.2006

Gorilla Development LLC, producers of Hydrogen Based Fuel Supplement Electrolyzers sent shockwaves through the renewable fuel research community at the end of 2006 with low-load/high-production units set to hit the market in 2007.

The Gorilla family of electrolyzers boasts 2 - 16 L per minute electrolytic conversion based on model size and a hybrid gaseous product. Using a specially formulized electrolytic solution, and an advanced cell, bank, array stacking method; gorilla electrolyzers produce a higher concentration of hydrogen (83.33%) in larger quantities than ever reported.

The units are designed to retrofit any production combustion engines tapping into their electrical charging circuit, and compressor pump feeding into the vacuum lines. Units vary in size depending on the engine displacement to deliver a 0.07% produced gas : 0.05% fuel : 99.88% atmosphere ratio. Units are designed to produce gas on-demand with no storage, and no operation when the engine is turned off. The fluid lasts for 100 hrs of operation.

Gorilla Development has performed a series of emissions tests with the following results:
