Partnership to be Announced Between Dutchman Enterprises and Major Car Manufacturer

Dutchman Enterprises, the manufacturer of the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell system and the soon-to-be-released Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter system, has been approached by one of the big 3 US car manufacturers. On September 15th, there will be a press release announcing a partnership between Dutchman and the major car manufacturer.

A few weeks ago, a top executive from the car manufacturer invited top marketing and development folks from Dutchman to spend a week at one of their facilities. Dutchman met with one of the top engineers of the company, a top executive, designers of the emissions control, and one of the top company mechanics. They converted several of their vehicles and demonstrated the HAFC. By the end of the week, everyone Dutchman had met was excited about what they had seen and discussed. Following that week, correspondence continued between the two parties, and Dutchman received a request for at least two dozen kits for the purpose of testing the system on several vehicles in various facilities across the US. Here is the contents of one of the letters received from the car manufacturer. It was written by the engineer at the request of a top company executive who will be referred to as Mr. X:

"We have discussed the HAFC kits and the technology has potential, and the concept makes good sense. While we are not ready to embrace this technology, we are excited about starting a beta test with these units to capture some data and complete our testing process. Mr. X will coordinate the testing process with my team of engineers. We need 12 units to begin the test as soon as possible. We will also need an additional 12 units the following week. As we complete our initial testing process, I believe we will have some quantitative results that will allow us to move forward. Dutchman Enterprises HAFC kits will need to be fully tested before we can discuss a future partnership. We're also very excited about the PICC technologies. Thank you for your help with this test."

This major car manufacturer has been testing at least 24 of their vehicles with the HAFC over the last few weeks. They've been running some of the vehicles 24/7 to test performance over tens of thousands of miles. The correspondence received during these tests has been favorable, and on September 13th it is expected that top executives of the car manufacturer will be meeting in New Jersey with members of the dealers coop and Dutchman at a dealers convention. We are anticipating that during that meeting the partnership will be announced. If a partnership is announced, we can expect the car manufacturer to join with Dutchman in continuing development of the HAFC and PICC, and co-design their vehicles and the HAFC to optimize the performance of the HAFC. We could also expect they would include installation and tuning training for all of their certified mechanics all across the USA in their dealerships and independent businesses.

My Vehicle Conversion - Update

I know many of you have been looking for an update regarding the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell kit and it's installation in my 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette mini-van. As of today, I have not completed the tuning of the kit in my vehicle. I have been able to recruit a mechanic, Robin, who now runs a hydro conversion business out of St Cloud, Minnesota. He has had great success converting late model cars including Honda, Toyota, Ford and Dodge. It turns out the configuration of my van is a bit more challenging than the others he's worked on. Because of this, both my father's car and mine, which have identical motors, have not been successfully converted. But, that is soon to change...

The key to the HAFC conversions is the tuning, and while the kit comes in one standard configuration, how it is applied and tuned to the vehicle's systems varies from car to car. The HAFC is new technology, and like any new technology, it's still being worked out. All of the other vehicles Robin has converted have seen from 50% to 70% improvements in mileage. I'm fortunate enough to own a car that has shown itself to be stubborn in settling into the right balance, apparently.

Robin just returned from a week-long advanced tuner training in New Jersey at the company headquarters. He earned a Class A Certification, which is the top level certification anyone can earn. He really knows his stuff! In fact, he's now one of the top 10 tuners in the United States for the HAFC system and Dutchman Enterprises. He'll be returning to Dutchman to become a certified trainer in a couple of weeks. Once he's certified for training, we'll have an excellent tuner and trainer right here in the mid-west, so we can increase the number of technicians that can successfully install and tune the system.

Especially exciting for me is the fact that while he was at advanced tuning training last week, he picked up some information and techniques necessary to successfully tune my type of vehicle. He called me today and asked me to deliver my van to him this week so that he can complete the tuning. Maybe by this weekend, I'll finally have some results!

Here are results for some of his recent conversions:

2001 Dodge Grand Caravan - 23 mpg to 39 mpg 69%
2005 Toyota Highlander - 24 mpg to 38 mpg 58%
2005 Honda Accord - 26 mpg to 45 mpg 73%
2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette - 24 mpg to ? Stay tuned....

The Dutchman Enterprise Hydro Assist Fuel Cell Kit Reviewed

I just received the HAFC kit that is soon to be installed in my 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette mini-van. An appointment has been made with a mechanic in Pequot Lakes, MN to convert my vehicle to a hybrid on June 23rd. I had originally planned on getting the conversion completed with another mechanic in Brainerd, MN, but I just met someone in Pequot that has access to some specialized equipment that could optimize the tuning of the kit. I plan on spending the day shadowing the mechanic and documenting the conversion process through photo's and video. This will be the mechanic's first install, since he's not a certified installer/tuner of the HAFC, but he's extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the systems of the vehicle central to this hybrid conversion.

About The Kit

The kit is packaged in a quality cardboard box that includes a plastic handle to make it easy to carry around. The Hydro Assist Fuel Cell graphic covers the lid of the box. This box arrived via UPS in another brown shipping box that was securely taped. Included with the kit was the complete DVD installation training set and a plastic mixing bottle. The DVD set used to be sold as an installer's certification distance-learning course for $1000.00, but it's now included with every kit so that a customer can hand it over to his mechanic along with the installation manual.

When I finally opened the kit, I found a neatly packaged assembly of various parts and components, some of which were in boxes and others were cleanly sealed in heavy zip-lock bags. At least three different types of hoses were visible. In the photo at left you can see one of the hoses includes a couple of different tools. The installation manual is sitting on the left side of the package, and when I lifted it I found the boxes containing the Fuel Cell and the Reservoir.
Beneath the hoses were the packages containing the Vaporizer and the Optomizer as well as the Caustic and the Covalizer. A syringe and funnel were also included. Overall it was neatly packaged and well organized. The initial impression this gave was of a quality product in which the manufacturer takes pride in delivering a high end kit.

The Fuel Cell

There are two components I was most interested in examining initially. Most people, I think, would want to see the Fuel Cell, and that was my first choice. I wondered what this amazing piece of equipment must look like. The top of the package containing the cell has a photo showing what looks like a metal box, some wires and other hardware. This is a heavy box. In fact, it's the heaviest component in the whole kit. It was difficult removing the Fuel Cell from its container due to the weight of it and the tight quarters shared by the items seen in the packaging graphics. I was surprised to find that the Fuel Cell looks much different than that featured on the cover of the box, and it's much smaller than I had expected. In fact, it's 4" x 5" x 6", and it looks industrial high-tech. I was very impressed with the aesthetics of it.


You can see there is a covering that protects the actual cell. The covering is made of tough plastic that is of the flexible type that will not turn brittle and crack in cold weather. It's secured well but easily removed for access to various parts needed during installation and for maintenance. The dimensions I noted above are of the outside of this plastic housing. The cell appears to be an assembly of several stainless steel plates. There is what appears to be thick aluminum in the center and at the base. The whole unit is held together by heavy nuts and bolts, with some sort of black material (plastic or rubber, perhaps) sandwiched in between the stainless steel. I assume the black material seals everything together to create a water and air tight container in which the HHO gas generation takes place. I found a couple of welds on the unit, but based on descriptions I've heard, I believe there is at least another.

The role of the fuel cell in the HAFC system is to produce HHO gas on demand so that it can be introduced into the motor as fuel. Production of HHO gas occurs only when ignition is on. Because this gas possesses five times the energy of gasoline, it enriches the fuel mix and allows for the leaning back of gasoline. It also improves combustion so that the vehicle's engine runs cleaner, which will make the engine last a lot longer.

I have several glamor shots of the fuel cell that reveal details. As an artist and tech guy, I can't help but admire the formal aspects of these units. They're very interesting objects in and of themselves. You can click on any of the photo's in this article to see larger versions.




The Vaporizer

The next component I opened was the Vaporizer. I had seen photo's of this online before, and it looked like a very interesting piece of equipment. This, too, is a hefty little item measuring 1.5" x 7.5". Like the Fuel Cell, it's a pretty little thing.

The role of the vaporizer is the vaporization and ionization of the fuel to improve combustion of the gasoline. The carved rings probably create greater surface area for transferring heat into the unit. The nice cherry color is most likely just for looks, and I like it. Again, this is a piece of art. It looks like something you might see in a modern art museum, and it's well-crafted as you'd expect of any museum quality work. Ok, I'm getting carried away with the art thing, but it's my way of recognizing a well designed and carefully crafted piece of equipment. Do I have to put these things in my engine? They'd sure look great on the mantle.

Based on what I've read and heard explained by staff at Dutchman, there is a magnetic aspect to the Vaporizer. An easy nail test could confirm this, but I haven't gotten that far. Below are some more glamor shots showing details.









The Optomizer

The next box opened was that of the Optomizer. Compared to the other components I had looked at earlier, this was a light piece. This makes sense since the case of this computer is composed of plastic, and the case contains circuitry, all of which are light-weight materials. The lighter weight didn't suggest cheap, however, as it is a well constructed unit just like the other components.

The role of the Optomizer is to link to the vehicle's on board computer and train it to accept the efficiency gains the system as a whole is introducing to the vehicle. Without this genius piece of equipment, the vehicle would fall back into default after finding it was running more efficiently, and any gains would be gone. The Optomizer teaches the vehicle's computer to work for you, not against you.

And... here are the glamor shots. I know, I just couldn't leave it out of the show, so here you go.
Notice the nice construction and the clear diagram on the outside indicating connections to various sensors and systems of the vehicle. Remember, you can click on any of the photo's to see close-ups.



The Covalizer

At the bottom of the kit, under the hoses and caustic, lay a bottle of the Covalizer. No surprises here, as the container is like any other oil or fuel product I've ever purchased. I did notice in the instructions on the back that adding more than the suggested amount to the fuel does not improve efficiency further. In fact, I've heard it can start to cause a decrease in efficiency if you overdose.

The role of the Covalizer is the breaking of the covalent bonds of the gasoline molecules to enhance combustion. It also lubricates and cleans the motor. As an aside, the chemist that invented this additive lost his plant to an explosion and fire very recently. Dutchman purchased the formula and production rights, so it is now a Dutchman product, and they are producing it. One bottle of this treats 400 gallons, so it should last a long time. It is a consumable within the system, and new bottles of the stuff go for $20.00.

The best way to introduce this to a fuel tank when filling with gas is to measure the quantity needed and pour it into the gas tank using the included funnel before adding fuel. This assures it will get mixed in thoroughly. Here is the back of the bottle with instructions.

This concludes my review of the HAFC kit. There are many other parts included, but the 4 main components have been discussed here. In an upcoming post, I'll be documenting the flushing of the fuel cell prior to it being installed in my vehicle. Apparently some cells have needed to be cleaned of cutting oil left by the manufacturing of the stainless steel plates. This oil must be removed in order for the unit to operate correctly.

Dutchman has provided instructions for mechanics to complete the flushing, and the process is simple enough for anyone to complete. I'll be flushing my cell this week in preparation for next week's installation.

My HAFC Kit Arrived!

My Hydro Assist Fuel Cell kit finally arrived. I ordered it on April 9th. UPS knocked on my door nine weeks, two days later on June 13th. Yes, that was a long wait, but it was well worth it, and I don't hold it against Dutchman Enterprises for taking so long to deliver.

My order was placed in the middle of a tsunami of orders that Dutchman received following their hugely successful national advertising campaign. They had not expected such a surge of orders as came in, and their inventory was blown out quickly. They've been very transparent in explaining to customers and Dealers how they've made adjustments to accommodate the growing demand, and they expressed several times, over the course of the many weeks I was waiting, their regret for their inability to deliver sooner. 

Since then, they have acquired new facilities and hired new staff and workers to greatly increase their production capacity. They've begun to work toward building on-the-shelf inventory so that a kit can be delivered upon receiving an order from a customer. They're not there yet, but delivery time is down from 8-10 weeks to 2-4 weeks. We should see this improve as they finish clearing out the tsunami of orders and begin building their in-stock kits.

I'll be reviewing the kit in detail in my next entry.

Five Dollar Gas? Have No Fear The PICC Will Be Here

Well, it looks like it's really going to happen in my part of the world. Gas rose to $3.95 in Brainerd, MN over night, and so we're now approaching the four dollar mark. I can't wait to get my HAFC installed in our mini-van so that we can fight back. The spike in oil prices yesterday to a record price of $139.00 a barrel after markets closed has insured that we'll not be seeing any relaxation of the upward trend of gas prices.

On my way to an appointment yesterday, the gas light in my vehicle came on, because I had let it run to nearly empty. Man! It seemed as though I had just filled it up the other day. I had some time before the appointment was to start, so I found the closest gas station and pulled in... to a line of cars waiting their turn. Since I live in an area of Minnesota that is full of tourists on the weekends, I assumed this to be a typical Friday scenario in which folks making their way north to their cabins for the weekend were stopping to top off.

I parked my car in line and ran into the station for a snack. At the counter I commented about how busy it was at that moment and it must be the weekend rush. The preoccupied clerks both shook their heads and replied that gas prices were about to be raised, and everyone was trying to fill up before the increase. I asked how the customers knew the prices were about to rise. They cited the crude oil price increase folks had heard about on the news, and they said they have customers call in frequently to ask if prices are about to go up. So, many of those forming the lines at this station in a little tourist town in Northern Minnesota were making a run on gas to save themselves some money.

While prices seem awfully ridiculous today, I just saw an estimate that puts us at $5.19 for regular a year from now! In Europe, some places are already at $8.00 a gallon. This could really be worrisome, and I hear a lot of fear and dread out there as it seems we're all being sucked into a dark hole that is already changing how we live, work and play... I doubt there will be as many boats on the water this year. And there was a story on the news last night about one city that has gone to four day work weeks to help the city employees save gas and money.

I'm so thankful we have an answer to these historic changes. When we hear the announcement about the PICC in August or September, we've been told we'll dance for joy. We know that all indications are the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter (PICC) will give even SUV's a minimum of 100 mpg. I wonder what we could expect for a standard car? The PICC will be applicable to any vehicle that has a combustion engine. Truck drivers will probably enjoy significant mileage increases on their big rigs. The effect could be hugely positive for our ailing economy, as fuel costs are contributing to woes in every corner of our lives, and if transport can be made cheaper, it is inevitably going to improve everything.

If you have applied for a quote for a PICC and are looking forward to enjoying over 100 mpg in your vehicle, remember that the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell is the first step in putting the PICC in your car. The PICC works in concert with the HAFC. You might as well start saving money on gas now by installing the HAFC and enjoying 50% to 100% better gas mileage. Those that order the HAFC now will be first in line for the PICC when it becomes available.

Your Mechanic Can Install The HAFC

Then You Make $20 For Every Install He Ever Does After!

All Hydro Assist Fuel Cell kits are now shipped with the full DVD training course. The DVD training course used to cost a mechanic $1,000.00, but you can now just give it to him along with the installation manual, and he will be able to install the kit for you. As a bonus, when your mechanic gets excited about the HAFC after installing yours, he can get certified by attending a certification training. And, for every kit he installs once he's certified, you will receive a $20.00 commission! Seriously, it doesn't matter who the customers are or where they come from, you will get paid commissions from that point on. It could help pay off your own HAFC and generate a little extra cash for you every month.

Just for kicks, here's a scenario: Mechanic completes 10 installs a month = $200.00 commission to you, just for helping us add another certified installer to our network. What a deal!

And, you can bet that your mechanic will only get more busy as demand for the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell continues to accelerate. We are seeing major endorsements of our product begin to roll in. In the last couple of weeks the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell has been featured in news stories on CNN, Fox News, and ABC. There will be a national ad campaign starting in June or July that we expect will generate up to 50,000 quote requests. Many of these customers will be referred to certified installers. Dutchman is taking care of the advertising for you. You get your mechanic started, and who knows what kind of extra income you might see?

Some Exciting News About the PICC

I have some pretty exciting news. Dutchman is working out the EPA problem and hopes to start the PICC for HAFC purchasers possibly as early as sometime in August! They are not telling us what they have done to get past the federal requirements, but they are touting it as truly genius. Remember that the PICC will allow even the larger SUV's to get over 100 mpg city or highway.

You might have noticed how others are trying to do the same thing we are doing with using water for fuel. There have even been some news stories about our fuel cell process on Fox news and other news channels. Using water gas is getting to be pretty widely accepted now. One company advertises just a water gas maker alone that will get up to 60% savings at a cost of $1,299 each. Another guy is going to tell you how to use a glass jar to make water gas. It does make gas, but so little that it is hardly worth it. No one has our performance warranty or our scientific orange test evaluation system. AND, no one can upgrade their customers to a PICC!

Of course no one even claims to get what we get with our patented process. Dutchman got patent approval recently, and they paid the $1,000 fee to get it issued. They are now just waiting for the patent number. They have filed for worldwide protection on the HAFC, and are protected everywhere except Cuba, North Korea, and one of the Middle Eastern nations (perhaps Iran or Syria.)

They also applied worldwide for the PICC patent, but that will probably not issue for a while since they just recently updated the application to include some things never discussed on the PICC web site. They are hoping that right after the next media blitz on June and July (or possibly July/August) they can make a major announcement and finally be able to get to those who have bought the HAFC kits with an upgrade to PICC.

There were 30,000 requests for the PICC from the first media ad buy and they expect to get about 50,000 more in June and July (it is usually better the second go-around.) Including the quotes requested from the first campaign, it is expected there will be close to 100,000 PICC quotes by August. Imagine releasing the PICC into that size of a ready-made market.

If you are planning to get either an HAFC or a PICC, now is the very best time to get an order in. The HAFC is an important part of the PICC as you will discover once Dutchman can frankly discuss the rest of the story.

Register for a quote now if you haven't already. Just click the button below. There's no obligation.

Huge Demand for the HAFC

It has been SOOOOO busy! The company is finally getting back to a regular delivery date of 2-4 weeks. They were so inundated with orders from the Jan/Feb media blitz, that the company was back-logged with orders for as much as 10-12 weeks. It was a virtual tsunami of orders. They have finally gotten control of their manufacturing and have all the materials in for all remaining orders and to begin to build on-the-shelf inventory.

They are back to their 2-4 week delivery dates. A Canadian plant is also now functioning to get kits out to Canadians without having to get past the border. Dutchman is planning to do the media blitz again possibly in June/July or July/August. We need more infra-structure. We are building up more HAFC customers to upgrade to PICC and getting more mechanics, especially with the free training program for mechanics in local areas where there were none when a customer popped up. The correspondence DVD training for local mechanics is a definite success. We just had our customers help us locate the mechanics and now we have far more infrastructure to prepare the way for our PICC assault.

If you are prepared to get a kit sometime soon, I would recommend now before the next media ad buy. It still can be purchased for $1,040. Please remember that the PICC is an upgrade from the HAFC. There are now over two dozen vehicles getting over 100 miles per gallon with the HAFC. The average for properly installed vehicles is still at about double mileage, and gas is not getting any cheaper. We either have now, or will train for free, mechanics in any city in the USA or Canada who can install the HAFC kit.

Fuel Economy - A Dirty Little Secret

I'm sure you've noticed all of the news being reported by the media about the soaring cost of gasoline and energy. It's the big story. There's a dirty little secret Detroit and Big Oil don't want you to know, though. I'll let you in on it in a bit.

Oil just exceeded $130.00 a barrel today, and I saw regular gasoline advertised for $3.69 a gallon in Brainerd, MN. One publication this week noted a prediction for gasoline to continue to climb to a national average of over $7.00 a gallon in the next couple of years, and somewhere in Alaska folks were already paying around $8.00 a gallon earlier this week!

I shake my head when I hear how hard our government is working toward helping to solve the gasoline and energy crisis. My wife usually hears me blurt out something like, "We have the answer!" The fact is the people in Washington responsible for finding the energy answers know about the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell and Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter technology. In fact, a top official from one of President Bush's committee for finding alternative energy resources has visited Dutchman Enterprises twice. So, why do they not act on this knowledge? It makes me wonder what is really going on...

So, here's the dirty little secret I promised...
Did you know that despite the proclaimed efforts and proud advertising of the big car manufacturers regarding their production of more efficient vehicles, the fact is the engines and fuel are engineered to be about 18% efficient*? That's right, only 18% of the fuel you and I pump into our cars is used to transport us from point a to point b. Where does the other 82% go? Why, it gets burned in the catalytic converter or drizzles out the tail-pipe! Oh, and it slowly destroys your engine.

That means by today's price of gasoline in Brainerd, MN, $3.03 of the $3.69 spent on a gallon literally goes up in smoke without providing any benefit to me or you. That's got to be the biggest rip-off ever. Just think of the thousands of dollars you've lost over the years. And, I believe the car manufacturers and the oil companies know exactly what they've done, and they know they could be giving us much more efficiency.

Bonus - Dirty Little Secret 2...
The car manufacturers have designed their vehicles to remove any improvements in fuel efficiency detected by the system. That's right. If your car suddenly becomes over 10% more efficient for whatever reason, the car's computer kicks in and defeats those efficiency gains. Man... you just can't win!

Dutchman Enterprises has given us a way to respond through the introduction of the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell and the soon to be released Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter. The mini computer, or Optimizer, included in the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell kit links up with the vehicle's on board computer. It trains the car's computer to accept and retain the incredible efficiency gains introduced by the other components of the HAFC.

With the HAFC integrated into the vehicles we all own today, fuel economy sees an incredible improvement of 50% to 100%, and more of that $3.69 spent on a gallon of gasoline is actually used to do what we paid for it to do - power us down the road.

Ford Explorer Gets 100 MPG

Last week, we were fortunate enough to have Jim D, a skilled mechanic from Eagan, MN attend a certification training at Dutchman Enterprises in New Jersey. Dutchman is the manufacturer of the HAFC and PICC products. The training was incredibly informative, and Jim learned a lot about the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell and Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter technologies. He put in some 12 hour days cramming a lot of classroom and lab time into each day.

During the course of the week, several vehicles were installed with the HAFC system. Jim worked on 2 installs; a Mitsubishi Eclipse and an Eagle Talon. According to Jim, the installations of the HAFC were very easy, and the tuning of the electronics is what produced the incredible mileage gains.

Most, if not all, of the vehicles converted during class left getting around 100 mpg. What was astonishing for me was the fact that a Ford Explorer converted during the class was among those vehicles achieving the 100 mpg mark!

What Makes The HAFC So Great

Hello. I hope you are enjoying a wonderful week. I wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the key benefits of the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell. It's easy to focus on the mileage increase, because that's so great, but did you know your car will have more horsepower with the HAFC? Here are some benefits that underline how incredible this technology really is. How can you lose?!

Significantly Increased Fuel Economy
50% increase guaranteed or your money back, and possibly double your current fuel economy!

More Horsepower and Better Performance
The water gas injection has 5 times the energy potential of regular gasoline.

A Cleaner Engine
The hydrogen/oxygen water gas mixture does not create carbon when it burns so there's no build up. It also cleans out the existing carbon deposits. A cleaner engine will last a lot longer.

A Cleaner Environment
By using much less fuel to travel the same distance, you are greatly decreasing the amount of pollution your vehicle creates.


In case you haven't already seen it, there's an excellent movie playing in the neighborhood. If you'd like to see the components of the kit and hear detailed descriptions of their role in the system watch the video now.

Some Customer Feedback

"My 2006 Mazda got 121 mpg! I am so excited I want to let everyone know... This technology is real! Finally an alternative to soaring gas prices."
John S

"My F-150 Pickup went from 11 mpg to 33 mpg, I was shocked, and very pleased!" Mario A

"My mechanic installed the HAFC kit on my 1998 Airstream Motor Home and it went from 6.8 mpg to 22 mpg. My friend was with me on the test drive, and we couldn't believe our eyes." Roger M

Minneapolis Area Mechanic in Certification Training in New Jersey

I'm very excited to have a mechanic from the Minneapolis area attending a week-long certification training in New Jersey. This gentleman has a long history in the field of mechanics, and is very excited about the HAFC and PICC technology. He's learning a ton. In fact, he now knows about some things for which he had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Hmmm... I wonder what top-secret information he now possesses. We'd better not ask, because if he tells us, you know he'll have to...

Anyway, he has been putting in some very long days in the classroom and in the shop. Monday and part of Tuesday were spent in the classroom learning about the revolutionary technologies developed by Dutchman Enterprises, and then everyone was in the shop until 7:00 PM Tuesday evening installing HAFC kits into vehicles. Our mechanic began his first ever HAFC install on a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo. I spoke with him this evening (Wednesday) at around 8:00 PM Central, and he had just gotten out of the shop! He completed the Mitsubishi today and he installed a Talon. According to him, both of these cars were very similar in how the kits went in. 

He is studying for a test he'll be taking tomorrow, and then the tuning of the vehicles will commence. I can't wait to find out the gains he sees in his two vehicles and the others that have been modified during the training.

Honda Accord Gets 180 mpg!

Record Mileage Increase Reported With HAFC

Wow! The Hydro Assist Fuel Cell has a guaranteed minimum 50% mileage increase for customers installing it in their vehicles, but many people realize a much higher gain. One customer in Costa Rica now rarely stops at the gas tank. This gentleman is a race car mechanic. He installed the HAFC in his 1998 Honda Accord and tuned it himself. His initial mileage was in the 60 mpg range. That's an incredible gain in itself. After calling into the mechanics' hotline and getting a few tips about the tuning, he went back to his car and made some adjustments. Astonishingly, his Accord gave him 180 mpg highway! He must be pretty pleased when he drives by the gas station with his tank still full. I did a quick calculation, and with the Accord's 17 gallon fuel tank capacity, that means he can drive over 3,000 miles before having to re-fuel. Heck, he might as well wait until his next oil change to put gas in the tank.

Let me know if you'd like to order your HAFC today to start enjoying great gas mileage in your car. Maybe you'd like to convert more than one vehicle. Email me your request and I can help you make your order immediately.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Increase Your Gas Mileage Now

Gasoline is Predicted to Reach $4.00 a Gallon This Summer

Dutchman Enterprises attended the government sponsored WIREC show on March 4th. It was the largest renewable energy conference in the world. By all accounts they stole the show with their 180 mpg Dodge engine. Many scientists, chemists, and physicists attended the lecture and they were very impressed with their process of converting one gallon of fuel to plasma and then reforming the fuel to three gallons of fuel that can burn three times as efficient (an overall increase of nine times!).

The EPA refuses to approve the PICC technology. They now have some legislators interested in looking into possibly ordering them to test it. I guess the longer they can hold us off the better for their fossil fuels friends. It is inevitable that we will win, it is just taking longer than we had hoped. In the meantime there has been a virtual tsunami of HAFC orders. I wish you would consider joining the customers who are not going to be affected by the $4 per gallon gasoline. Even the HAFC’s average double mileage increase would mean it would be like buying gas for half price and that means a lot in this day. The average consumer buys over a thousand gallons of gas per year and to save half of that is a $2,000 savings. The HAFC conversion including installation costs a lot less than that. They have worked out a way for you to finance the whole thing and have an entire year to pay for it with NO INTEREST! If you are interested I can give you the details.

My Order Has Been Processed

I found out today that my order was processed by Dutchman Enterprises, so my kit might be on its way soon. I called the mechanic today to touch base with him. As soon as my HAFC arrives, I'll post photo's of the whole package in and out of the boxes.

The PICC technology - post WIREC 2008

This Dodge van is the first PICC modified vehicle in the world as unveiled at the WIREC 2008 convention held in Washington DC March 4-6, 2008

Dutchman Enterprises publicly introduces the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter technology

By Jeff Otto

We want all concerned citizens to understand what it will take for us to solve your fuel economy problems and America’s as well. We have your answer, but having the technology is only one part of the solution. We reported at the WIREC event in DC as we pointed to the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter unveiling, “This is the most fuel efficient and least polluting vehicle in America, but it is illegal to run it on the highway!” The reason for that is that in order to install the PICC, we have to remove your existing factory catalytic converter and re-program the current emissions control system (your on-board computer).

If you modify the factory system that is called “tampering” and it is very, very illegal according to federal law. In order to legally modify low mileage and very polluting vehicles and make them high mileage and non polluting vehicles it will require either that the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter be accepted as a replacement for the existing catalytic converter or a new law be enacted and passed by the US Congress allowing our PICC emissions control system to be installed on vehicles. If the EPA would test our PICC, they could approve it as a replacement for the factory catalytic converter. We could then begin the distribution of the answer to America’s mobile energy problem. So, it is either up to the Environmental Protection Agency, the US Congress, or a significant number of you "We the People" to correct this situation.

WIREC 2008

The problem we face is that the EPA has totally ignored us, and our technologies, for years. We can only assume that is happening on behalf of big oil and car manufacturing interests. Not fully burning the fuel is obviously critical for fuel sales and using unburned fuel to destroy engines certainly drives new car sales. We have tried to get the EPA to evaluate our technology to no avail.

Those of you who have been following us for a while know that two years ago President Bush sent his energy advisor (who was in charge of finding alternative renewable energy devices) to our facility to spend the day with us. The question was; What could they do to help us? The President's advisor agreed to get the white house involved in sponsoring a presentation in DC in which they promised that the top officials of the EPA and the DOE would be present, as well as the major media, and they would get the EPA to test our technology.

When the Republicans lost the House and Senate that somehow jeopardized the presentation. A follow up visit to our facility with an advisor from ACORE (supposedly also sponsored by the white house) resulted in a run around that finally ended at the Pentagon. We will not deal with the military! Both of these Presidential advisors indicated that they were very impressed with our technologies.

Hearing of the largest renewable energy show in the world, the WIREC 2008 Event, hosted by the federal government, we invited ourselves to this event and introduced the very first PICC modified vehicle to the world. We discussed the process of the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter technology and offered to have the EPA test it. We encouraged those in the crowd to coerce, request, or other wise encourage the EPA to test our device.

PICC Process

Some of those who attended our presentations did try to get the EPA (who had a booth at the event) to respond. One mechanical engineer who was sure he could get them to respond was told by the EPA, that if we really wanted our technology to be tested all we needed to do was to form a relationship with the Ford Motor Company and Ford would certainly know how to get it tested. That just served to compound our skepticism. Why would we need a relationship with a major auto manufacturer just to get our world saving device tested?

We are filing all the forms and taking the usual route through the EPA approval process, but we are not hopeful that they will be motivated to expedite any testing on our behalf. We also met a lobbyist who is connected in Congress concerning renewable energy issues. She tells us we should get a congressional representative to champion our cause and have another private meeting with congress to which we will bring our technology for testing. We will test the PICC technology ourselves for them at that meeting, and they can also have any independent party they want present to test it as well.

When we make our clean air point to them, they can give us permission to take it on the highway and prove the fuel efficiency as well. We ran our engines on stationary dynamometer tests, so we already know how efficient they are. We have never been allowed to test the process under actual road conditions. To drive this on a public highway, otherwise, would be illegal and the punishment is severe ($250,000 per incident).

We are working to cause this event in Congress to happen as soon as possible. It would be helpful for you to send your representatives a copy of our press release on our behalf to try to get them involved in this important issue. As soon as we can get approval, we can offer you a PICC upgrade quote for your vehicle and you can drastically reduce your dependence on the price of fuel AND end all the pollution from your vehicle.

An updated explanation of the PICC process:

In order to show you how exciting this technology is we will explain even more of how it works beyond what was originally revealed. The following is the presentation of our Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter technology at the WIREC event.

Setting up the vehicle:

HAFC Hydrogen Double Fuel Cell

The complete PICC technology consists of a two-step process. The first step is to install the Hydro Assist Fuel Cell Kit. As we explain the PICC process you will see why this first step is so important. So, first I will briefly explain the HAFC technology. A fuel cell filled with water is hooked up to the battery and charged with caustic. The electricity ionizes the water and the hydrogen and oxygen are separated. The monatomic hydrogen and oxygen is injected into the air intake and mixes with the fuel when it is burned.

MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has completed studies on how monatomic hydrogen can be used to increase the flame spread in the burn causing the fuel to burn more fully. The monatomic oxygen increases the octane level of the fuel, and makes a richer fuel. When fuel is enriched it can be “leaned out” and less is used for the same power output. In addition to using water gas for these purposes, our "HAFC Covalizer" is used to break the covalent bonds of the fuel and make it easier to burn. Gasoline is very complex molecularly and very compressed as a fuel.

HAFC Vaporizer

A vaporizer uses the heat from the engine to help vaporize the fuel and magnets are used to also somewhat ionize the fuel. The whole process serves to get far more of the fuel burned than usual, and that improves mileage and decreases pollutants dramatically. The HAFC process is currently legal, because the emissions control system and exhaust are not touched. We experienced an average increase in fuel economy of pretty close to double mileage in the first 24 vehicles we installed ONLY our HAFC kit on.

The FIRST STEP in the process is to modify the car to the HAFC technology. Many of the smaller four cylinder vehicles have seen over 100 miles per gallon highway with the HAFC alone and will actually save so much that it will not be worth upgrading them to the PICC. Now let us explain the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter and you will see how the two technologies fit together.

The Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter technology:

To install the PICC, the existing catalytic converter MUST come off (that is currently illegal to do.) The PICC reactor is placed right where the catalytic converter was. For a great explanation of how the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter process turns ordinary fuel into plasma, watch the PICC video. Once the plasma has been made, we could inject that into the engine process and increase mileage, but the plasma exhaust would still emit pollutants in the form of NOX and we are environmentalists so we cannot allow that.

Burn All of Your Fuel

The next step of the process we have not discussed on our web site or on the video presentation is a major part of the total process. We have reported that our mileage test (from 20mpg to 180 mpg) on the stationary dynamometer under load conditions went from 18 pounds of fuel per hour to only two pounds of fuel per hour (nine times as efficient.) That has been difficult for some people to understand.

That would mean the standard process would have to have been inordinately inefficient. But, we are actually taking the regular gasoline that is formulated by the refiner and sold to the consumer and then, after we turn it into a plasma state, we inject the plasma into another double tank process that reforms the fuel. Ordinary gasoline burns at an efficiency of about 18% in its original concentrated, molecularly sophisticated, compact state. What we are doing is reforming the fuel into a different fuel that is methane, ethane, butane, propane, and even some pentane.

Even though the reformed fuel contains the same amount of molecules as what was in the regular gasoline, when it is reconfigured, it occupies a greater volume. We can turn one gallon of regular gas into three gallons of reformed fuel. That is 3 times as much fuel to burn in the engine for the same cost. But, it gets even better. This reformed fuel, unlike regular gasoline, burns at a different efficiency. It burns 50% efficient rather than 18% efficient. That is 2.5X as much energy from the burn.

Installing PICC

There is ONE problem with this reformed fuel. It does not have a very good flame spread. That means that unless we can do something to increase the flame spread, it cannot be used efficiently. Remember the HAFC technology installed as STEP #1? The monatomic hydrogen is used to increase the flame spread of fuel. When we add this to the reformed fuel, the new fuel can then be completely utilized. It now burns 60% efficient.

Here is the logic. If we have three times as much fuel for the same cost, and it all burns three times as efficiently, then we have a multiplier of 9 to one. That means the whole process would be as much as nine times as efficient! It burns so much cleaner that there will be NO NOX gases and NO CO gas. The air will be far cleaner. There still will be some carbon dioxide, but that is not the real bad guy. Now you know the rest of the story.

Our technology is not good news for everyone. Some of the big businesses in the energy industry will resist using our process to reform and burn the fuel to the advantage of the consumer and the environment. For some of these guys, they like the process the way it is. A cleaner burn means longer lasting engines and that means holding on to the car longer before trading up. There is no down side for the consumer, but there is one for the car manufacturers and the gas suppliers. It is time for consumers to speak up and get their representatives involved in really looking out for their interests. It is also time to support the companies that has the courage to confront all this resistance from big business and self-interests on your behalf.

You can start toward purchasing the HAFC right now by first registering for a PICC Quote today. It will prepare your vehicle for the ultimate revolution and, if you have a small car, it may be all you will ever need. We cannot upgrade your vehicle to the complete system until you have taken this first step. The HAFC kit is legal and available right now. The minute you install the HAFC, you are in line for a Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter upgrade quote.

Installing PICC

We estimate it will cost an additional $3,000 to upgrade from an HAFC to the PICC. But, can you imagine only paying another $3,000 to modify your vehicle to achieve over 100 miles per gallon average on all your driving? The average consumer drives 15,000 miles per year. That would mean a year’s worth of driving on 150 gallons of gasoline (about three gallons a week) no matter how big a vehicle you have! At $4 per gallon, that means an annual gasoline cost of $600 right now.

If you are currently averaging 25 mpg with your compact car (between city and highway driving this is pretty good), you are using 600 gallons of fuel (12 gallons a week) at a cost soon to be $4 per gallon or $2,400 per year. If you have a 6 cylinder vehicle you might be averaging more like 15 miles per gallon and getting away with 1,000 gallons a year. If you have a big SUV or Pickup you are probably not averaging much over ten miles per gallon for a usage of 1,500 gallons a year at a cost more like $6,000 a year!

Whatever your current fuel cost situation, imagine exchanging it for 150 gallons of gas a year! Tell me that would not be the best $4,000 (total) you ever invested into your choice of transportation? It sure beats buying a hybrid. We are also working on financing for the owner of any vehicle whereby the vehicle itself, is the collateral for the loan because the Pre Ignition Catalytic Converter greatly improves the resell value of the vehicle.

We would appreciate having the opportunity to start our relationship with you by encouraging you to order the HAFC kit right away.

Diesel Developments

Dutchman has identified a covalizer for diesel that provided a 36% increase in fuel efficiency in a test yesterday. The truck used for the test delivered 19 mpg before adding the covalizer. The covalizer was added and the vehicle gave 26 mpg. This increase was achieved without the installation of the HAFC. With the HAFC and the covalizer working together, efficiency increases should be excellent. As kits are installed in more diesel vehicles and tested, there will be an official mileage guarantee like the one provided for gasoline vehicles. Of course, once the PICC becomes available commercially, it will be an excellent solution for amazing gas mileage on all diesel vehicles including those big rigs out there.

The Promise of a Dream Fulfilled?

We've dreamed of it...a car that gets 100 mpg or more. Has it finally arrived? Are we on the verge of a revolution in fuel economy? Will this idea actually squirt out into the American market before getting crushed by big business? Will it prove to be true? Based on my own digging and research, it seems there are now hundreds of cars driving the roads of America getting incredible gas mileage thanks to the introduction of the HAFC I'll be installing in my mini-van.

Did you know that every car on the road today can get 100 mpg or more? It's true. And, I wonder why we've not seen this realized until now. What's upsetting is this sort of efficiency has been possible all along, but it appears that the big car manufacturers and the oil companies have purposefully prevented us from benefiting from it. I know this sounds conspiratorial, but doesn't it make sense that these big boys would work to protect their own business interests, which are to guarantee we consumers will consume fuel and replace our cars frequently?

Based on discoveries Dutchman Enterprises made during the development of their fuel technology, it looks like the computers in our cars have pre-programmed limitations intended to prevent our cars from running more efficiently. Additionally, the fuel we use is designed to burn only so well. Whether there is a conspiracy to lock cars into a constrained efficiency range or not, we now seem to have a solution that promises to fulfill our dreams of achieving crazy gas mileage.

You might detect a hint of caution amidst my excitement. I am incredibly excited about the prospect of running my big old mini-van for 40 miles on a gallon of gas, but hey, this all sounds too good to be true! This blog will be an honest record of my experience installing the kit to convert my car to a hybrid vehicle. Hopefully, I will find the promise of a minimum of a 50% gain to be real and attainable. That would be a significant improvement with a great savings in gas. I guess we'll see if it's for real.

The Answer to Our Mobile Energy Problems is Here!

I'll be installing a hybrid conversion system that has been introduced recently to the US market by a small American company. This system allows a vehicle owner to convert any gasoline vehicle to a hybrid with a $1000.00 kit that takes a mechanic 4 hours to install. The company guarantees a minimum of a 50% increase in gas mileage in any car, but many cars can benefit from up to a 100% increase or more. This is technology that is now available to anyone!

Based on casual observation of my mini-van's gas mileage, I currently get about 22 mpg on the highway. Once I install the HAFC (Hydro Assist Fuel Cell) kit, I hope to enjoy at least 35 mpg. It would be great to see 40+ mpg.

This system is the first step in converting a car to increased gas mileage, and for many drivers the gains in gas mileage will be sufficient. For those looking for even greater gains, the second step will be to upgrade the HAFC conversion with a PICC (Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter) that will guarantee a minimum mileage performance of 100 mpg for any vehicle including the largest SUV's on the road.

You read that right. This company already has the technology to make any car get over 100 mpg on the highway or the city! This is real. They are working on getting EPA approval to release the system commercially. In the meantime, the HAFC is already giving many car owners over 100 mpg.

The introduction of these new systems is going to revolutionize the use of mobile energy in
America and the world. Imagine living in a country completely removed from dependence on foreign oil. And, for those of us that live in highly populated areas, imagine a smog-free horizon, since another important benefit of these systems is the elimination of emitted pollution. Oh, and did I mention your motor will run with increased power, and it will continue to operate optimally for several hundred-thousand miles?
