Approximately 10 years ago, the company's founder, Doug Bender,
and his associates began HyPower Fuel Inc. as a private
corporation with the goal of developing alternative fuel sources
to reduce dependence on crude oil and reduce exhaust emissions. In
1996, "alternative fuel", "hydrogen", "biodiesel", "fuel cells",
and "hybrid" had little meaning to the average consumer. Since
then, all of these alternative fuels and technologies have become
much more recognized and understood.
With
the realization that hydrogen was soon to be in great demand due
to its abundance and zero emissions characteristics, the company
investigated various methods of producing hydrogen and found that
electrolysis was one of the oldest and simplest methods of
hydrogen production. The problem was that very little
technological advancement had been made in over 150 years. A blind
market study revealed a significant demand for technologies to
reduce fuel consumption and reduce emissions. Thus, opportunities
were highlighted to link on-demand hydrogen production through
electrolysis with the need for fuel economy and emission
reduction.
Prototypes of the Hydro Power Pak (HPP) were built and tested on
various engines and steps were taken to perfect and verify the
reductions attained by injecting hydrogen into gasoline and diesel
engines. In 2001, a patent for the HPP was attained giving the
company a foundation on which to build its hydrogen production and
injection technologies. The company's research and development
facility has expanded to include two engine test cells, an
electronics lab, a fabrication shop, and various test benches with
testing apparatus.The company has dedicated the past decade to
developing and commercializing hydrogen insertion and production
technologies for industrial purposes, including for use with
internal combustion engines, specifically the diesel engine.
VISION & MISSION
It is our vision that HyPower will be a world leader in reducing
the world's dependence on crude oil and gas supplies. Our mission
drives us to develop alternative fuel technologies that reduce
fuel consumption and toxic emissions while at the same time
increasing value to our shareholders and empowering our research
staff to think outside of the box.
