Well it has been a very busy last couple of months as we worked like crazy to locate a new building, negotiate the terms, remodel the whole front end, then move into the place. All while trying to maintain some sanity and keep the manufacturing going.

We have finally been able to catch our breath and are just about settled in…few little small things but overall we are in full swing as we prepare for the next big launch of new products.

Here are a couple of photos of our shop and office:

If you live in the area- come on by and see us or pick up an HHO generator for your own car!

Thanks!

There was a recent article published in Gizmag about the need to improve the fuel economy of  heavy vehicles specifically the big rig tractor trailers like Freightliner Trucks, Kenworth Trucks, International Trucks, Mack Trucks, Navistar Trucks, Peterbuilt Trucks, and more.

Tractor trailers and Big Rigs Need to Reduce Diesel emissions and increase mileage

The article speaks to the need of increasing the mileage and reducing the emissions of these big rigs that are the backbone of our economy both here in the USA and around the world. The problem is that the solutions they suggest cost $15,000 - $85,000 to implement and the agencies involved want to put that heavy burden on the poor truckers that are already spending $5000 a month in fuel costs! I know because they call me up and talk to me almost every week - desperate for any solution to the heavy burden of rising diesel costs and onerous emissions requirements.

Well we are working day and night to offer the solution that will bring relief- both to the fuel expense AND the newly regulated emissions requirements. We are hard at work developing a new HHO Generator aimed specifically at the Big Rig industry based on our breakthrough Hybrid Cell technology! We will be releasing it this year, and if the initial tests are any indication, it’s going to change the face of the industry!

So hang in there all you truckers- hard working men and women that sacrifice being at home with their families, so they can get merchandise delivered from manufacturers to consumers and keep our economy rolling. We are close to revealing a product that will blow you away, meet every emissions standard for decades, AND give you an increase in your mileage, putting money back into your pocket instead of big oil companies!

Here are excerpts from that article:

“While there are fuel consumption standards for passenger cars, there is no such regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in the U.S. With such vehicles accounting for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. regulators are looking to establish fuel economy standards for these vehicles in the next few years. Now a new U.S. report has been released recommending the best ways to measure and regulate fuel economy for these vehicles, and assess technologies that could improve it. Amongst its findings, the report says that some vehicles could cut their fuel use by about 50 percent through the use of a combination of technologies.

The congressionally mandated report was put together by the National Research Council (NRC) at the request of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It was in response to legislation passed in Congress in 2007 requiring the U.S. Department of Transportation to establish fuel economy standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles for the first time in history.

The committee estimated the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. The report found that:

• using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction;
• hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame;
  • while the cost of making these improvements would be passed on to vehicle purchasers, the report notes that many of these suites of technologies would pay for themselves even at today’s energy prices, under the committee’s assumptions;
• using a combination of technologies tractor-trailers could cut their fuel use by about 50 percent by 2020 for about US$84,600 per truck, which would be cost-effective over ten years with gas prices of at least US$1.10 per gallon;
• fuel use of motor coaches could be lowered by 32 percent for an estimated US$36,350 per bus, which would be cost-effective if the price of fuel is US$1.70 per gallon or higher;
  • for other vehicle classes, the financial investments in making improvements would be cost-effective at higher prices of fuel;
• the NHTSA should regulate the final-stage vehicle manufacturers rather than component makers, as the former has the greatest control over the vehicle’s design;
• the adoption of nontechnical methods to lower fuel consumption, such as providing incentives to train vehicle operators in efficient driving techniques, could result in fuel savings of anywhere from 2 percent to 17 percent.”

And then of course- there is the bureaucrats solution which is typical of an idiot who has never had to run a business or work a real job in his life; RAISE TAXES and penalize the poor truckers already spending half their income on fuel:

“However, one way to avoid the complexity of regulating different types of vehicles suggested by the report would be to impose a fuel tax, which would induce firms to optimize the fuel-efficiency of their operations. The report urges Congress to consider this approach. Another alternative approach - applying a cap-and-trade system to trucking companies similar to the one that Congress is considering as a way to lower CO2 emissions - would similarly provide these companies with an incentive to adopt fuel-saving technologies and operational methods.

The report is intended to influence the choices that will be made over the course of the next few years in establishing the regulatory design for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fuel consumption standards for the next several decades.

Copies of the full report, “Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the fuel Consumption of Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles,” are available from the National Academies Press.

Hang in their truckers- we are coming to the rescue with our new line of HHO generators designed specifically for you!

I was recovering from a little mini trip with some of my family to Yosemite today (got sick from bad Pork at a restaurant in Mariposa, I think). I finally was able to get up enough energy to start going through the 300 emails from being gone a few days.

Buried in the middle of them all was this phenomenal result from another one of our customers, Jay Rezexxxs. We had talked back and forth for awhile almost a month ago - he was interested in getting one of our dual units for his 1995 Freightliner Big Rig. We were still testing our newest unit for truckers, I mentioned he might want to wait for that if interested…

A picture of a 1995 Freightliner

Jay opted to start with just a 773 HHO generator kit instead. This was his best option right now due to a restricted budget and the need to start saving money on diesel costs (on the rise again). I told him I wasn’t sure what he would get with that small of an HHO Generator on big 330 horsepower Cummins M-11, but it was at least a start…

Was I in for a surprise! I will let Jay’s email tell you the story…(excerpt from longer email)

“Hi Bob,

Jay Rezexxxs here. I wanted to give you a little feedback on the 773 I installed in my big rig. This is preliminary because I have only had it in and running in my truck for 3 days now. Figures may change some in the coming weeks depending on how heavy or light the loads I carry will be and the terrain (mountains vs. flat ground). My truck is a 1995 Freightliner. The engine is a Cummins M-11. It\’s a small engine in the world of big rigs with about 330 horespower. As a truck driver I am always checking my fuel mileage on a daily basis. I do this by using a measuring stick. I dip the stick into the fuel tank and I measure how many inches of fuel are on the stick. I know that for every inch of fuel there is 5.83 gallons of fuel. Before installing the 773 I was averaging 6 miles per gallon. The first day I had the 773 running I was averaging 8.5 mpg! The second day I averaged 9 mpg!! and yesterday, the third day I averaged 8.75 mpg!! How awsome is that! I can\’t wait to get another 773 and have the dual set up! I also got a few of the other drivers interested after the first day…”

I was floored! Why a 773 kit could help out such a big diesel rig get a mileage increase of almost 50%! I flat out told Jay I really did NOT expect that result at all, but of course I am extremely excited to see it.

This has me energized and wanting to see more truckers try out our units to get back to us with on their results too! It also motivates me to speed up our research and testing of our final design parameters with the new HHO Generator engineered for truckers specifically…

Stay tuned! Great things as we continue to move forward…

Wow! Something must have been in the air yesterday… two encouraging emails from our customers in one day = great day!

HHO Generator installed in front of 2002 Nissan Xterra

This is an excerpt from Gabriel in Africa. It is his first install and was a bit challenging the first time, taking him a bit longer than expected (the first is always the hardest - they get easier as you understand the process). You can see his post back in January here: Great HHO Generator Mileage Increase Testimony

Gabriel has been corresponding back and forth, having trouble with the efie and mileage losses, not gains (sometimes this happens- the car computers are different everywhere and we have to take time to figure it out…) It is always frustrating when we get a stubborn car, but this is more proof that if you stick with it- you can get the victory…

(I think he is referring to 120 mph in kph…but from the looks of it he has almost doubled his mileage going from 70 to 132 miles…)

Here is an excerpt from that email…

Hello Bob,

Top of the morning to you. Since our last correspondences, i have made a lot of changes to my HHO system. I am still testing and so cannot give you a final result now. However, over this last weekend, I had filled my tank on Saturday and traveled a distance of 132miles on high speed. My average speed was 120mph. On arriving back home, my fuel gauge was at “half-tank” and my mileage was 132. I was so pleased. during the whole journey, there wasn’t any form of degradation in speed (performance) and fuel economy. Prior to the installation of the HHO system, I at best, made 70miles (and so bad a performance) on a half-tank.

What changes did I make?

* I changed the electrolyte of the HHO generator and made it new.

* I increased the current passing through the system from 12A to 22A (by adding more NAOH)

*I changed my air-filter (the former was torn and I didn’t even know it)

I however think that the major change that i made was the production of more HHO into the system. At 22amps, I was generating so much gas (I dont have an accurate reading yet) that condensation forms very rapidly at the tail pipe when I do a cold start in the morning.

Thanks Gabriel! I have recommended this to several people who have tested and are having problems- clean out the the system. Sometimes it helps to soak the generator with CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) cleaner. then flush and refill with clean water and fresh electrolyte.

So for those of you having a few challenges with your installation, be encouraged. It’s worth it when you start seeing gas savings like this….

2009 Yukon with HHO Generator

I just got this great email in yesterday from one of our customers that had bought our 772, and came back to get the mileage chip for his 2009 GMC Yukon.

That’s a BIG vehicle - wasn’t sure how the 772 would fare…

Hugh used to live here in the Bay Area and comes back regularly from Texas where he resides now. He was in town a couple weeks ago and called me- wanted to stop by and pick up a mileage chip before heading back home. We talked for an hour at the shop - really nice guy.

This is an excerpt from the email he sent me…

Hi Robert, It was a pleasure meeting with you a couple of weeks ago. I have now arrived in Texas and was pleased with my gas improvement. I had a 67% improvement with my 772 Generator in my Yukon….

…I would like to talk with you further about the possible Distributorship in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I also have received some inquiries about prices for the units.
Whenever you have the time, give me a call or send me a email back and we can discuss it further. I can come back to the Bay Area at anytime also.
Thanks, Hugh Carter

67% increase on a Yukon- that is what I like to see!

Keep sending me the good reports people! I want our customers to see what is possible with a good installation, a great HHO Generator, and some time…

Wow! March is roaring by and so much is happening it’s making my head spin! I haven’t even had time to post lately, so much is developing…

Lots of new stuff coming: upcoming events; possible Midwest road trip in the works; upgraded line of generators, new building negotiations to expand our facilities and hire more people; negotiations for some major contracts; secret contacts of some old timers that I am in talks with that blow me away…etc.

Whew! Keep your eyes open my friends, and keep checking back here regularly (I have to figure out how people can subscribe to this thing) because it is going to be an incredible year for us here at Transitional Technologies, LLC . And YOU are going to benefit from all the innovation coming.

We will be launching a second line of generators soon (a bit more expensive because of the extra tooling/machining/materials involved), but they will be setting an even HIGHER bar for the HHO industry. Look out people- lots of fun stuff on the way that will blow you away…can’t say anymore than that yet.

I just had Roger send me an email last night with his newest independent HHO gas verification. Seems he wanted to make sure that all the tremendous mileage gains he has been getting (using our 772 HHo Generator and the new HHO high mileage chip) has not affected his emissions in a negative way.

So he took it down to the AirCare Vehicle inspection station to run a voluntary test.

He graciously scanned it and sent it on to me. The results are no less than spectacular!

The test was called the IM240 which is a test done on a dyno simulating stop and start driving, up/down hills, hard accelerating and idling. Test lasted about 5 minutes and recorded 6kms on the speedo

The emissions report verifies once again how viable HHO technology is and how a good HHO Kit can really impact our environment in a positive way.

Take a minute and check it out…click on the emissions report to see a larger image and check out the 3 numbers that will blow you away!

It just keeps getting better! OK everybody- lets keep the momentum going! If you have more verifications, especially emissions reports like these, send me copies so I can post them to my blog. The more reports we get, the more it verifies and validates that what we are doing is not only amazing for mileage, but incredible for the environment.

Another really fantastic post comes from our recent customer George White from Australia!

George wrote to tell me of his amazing experience using our 773 generator installed on his huge tractor. Now, I’m not that familiar with these babies, so i googled one to post so you could see the size beast he bought our 773 for.

similar to the one using our 773 HHO Generator to get an incredible run time increase!

He calls it an 85DCAT which he used on his 600 acres for over 30 hours of test time…so this was not a quick run to the gas station and back- this was hard working machinery used to make a living on some kind of farm land.

Now, I really didn’t design it for this big of a machine, but I did build it to withstand the daily rigors of hard work, and because our plates are completely enclosed in the new Hybrid Cell, there is no chance of them shorting out  in rugged situations like this where anything could be jammed up against  it (unlike the dry cells with exposed plate edges that could easily be shorted). I will let him tell you in his own words…

Bob Last year I built my own HHO Generator from your plans and it took my 18 year old Nissan patrol from 17 mpg to 23 mpg so when I seen your new Mega Brick Icouldnt wait to install one on my tractor so I ordered your 774 Mega Brick and installed it in my Cat 85D tractor ( 370 HP )and on first test ( 30 hours over 600 acres )I have taken my fuel from Last year average of 44 Liters per hour to 26.6 liters per hour (I am in Australia so there is 3.8 Liters in a US gallon ) So I have half paid for it already, Amazing.

Can”t wait to get back in the tractor.

Please keep up your wonderful work.

Regards

George

Thanks George! We will… By the way, just a small correction, we do not have a 774, he was talking about our Monster Mega-Brick 773 HHO Generator. .

Now if you do the math- that little 773 has given him a 65% increase per hour on a 370 HP vehicle - that is incredible! You are talking hard dollars in the pocket of a hard working Australian here- and THAT is what it is all about people!…

Keep up the good work George!

The rest of you- let’s get those babies put in and start getting some results…

I love my job!

Here’s an interesting article on the Hydrogen Highway- not very practical.

They want to build 11 soalr powered hydrogen filling stations on the East coast at the cost of $300,000 each. The downside? They can only handle refilling 10-12 cars a day…

Ummmm- Let’s see, for $36,000,000, we could donate 30,000+ of our top of the line HHO Generator kits for people to put into their everyday cars.

They would instantly be saving 20-40% on fuel, and have emissions drop- all while just using water.

If it was just our smallest HHO Generator, we could give out 60,000+ hho kits.

SO which idea would be better in the long run? 10-12 cars filling up a day (plus the exotic price of a pure hydrogen car), or 60,000 cars using a hybrid hydrogen generator?

But alas, because the former idea lacks any fical responsibilty, makes no financial or environmental sense, and gives the absolute worst result for money spent, it will probably get government spending right away…

Bob

Our midsized HHO generator bringing fantastic results!

Well everyone, our researcher/installer extrordinaire in Vancouver B.C. has broken all records for mileage increases using our line of new Hybrid Cell HHO Generators - the Dynamic Dual 772

He just emailed me to let me know with a few more tweaks he is now at 50 mpg! That is NOT in a Honda people, it’s in a 2009 Hyundai Genesis with a 3.5 liter motor ( I personally have met Roger- seen his car in Vancouver during our road trip).

For those of you not math inclined - that is a full 127% increase in mileage! Woooo Hoooo! Way to go Roger- you the man! He is currently installing a 773 in a 2009 Dodge Ram also using one of our mileage chips. Can’t wait to hear the results, especially since I’m personally looking to get a new truck this year.

Here is some excerpts of the email from Roger:

HI Bob,Well some good news,I did a few more tweaks to my car and ran the same road test and recorded my best figures to date.50 MPG,now that’s more like it.I was sure I could improve on the first tests,now I am really happy.I even drove a little faster than before.

Other news I have installed the kit on the Dodge Truck and am very pleased with the install,just waiting for the chip before I start it up,Will send pics at that time.

All the best,
Roger

Unbelievable results from a quiet retired mechanic in Vancouver using our 772 HHO Generator Kit. Once again, I want to say I can’t guarantee you will get the same results, but then, doesn’t it make you want to go out and buy a Hyundai Genesis?

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to do a bang up job on the installation- do it right it works. Cut corners, you lose…

And for those of you that live anywhere within driving distance to Roger, either in Vancouver BC or near his brother’s shop now in Washington (I believe that is where he is setting up to do work), and you want  a quality install, I urge you to get in touch with him (he did not ask me for this endorsement, I don’t get anything for recommending you to him - I just want people that need help to use the right guy).

P.S. Roger -Thanks for the heads up on the amp gauges, I’ll check into that right away…

Now go out and install yours today!

Who knows? I might post your results here too!
