I just spoke to Bob Potchen, former trucker and Vice President of Precombustion Technologies Inc. (PTI). After two and a half years of R&D;, PTI has come out with “The Cell”.
“The Cell is a stepping-stone into an energy independent future,” says Bob. “Its unique design allows it to produce large quantities of higher quality Hydroxy Gas™ — a unique combination of hydrogen and oxygen created from water.”
It looks kind of like a battery. Once it’s incorporated into the vehicle, operators will see improved gas mileage, more power, better acceleration, and lower emissions.
Sound too good to be true? Check out the real work trials on their website — www.thecell.cc. Trucks are experiencing (on average) a 50% improvement just in mileage.
Bob say that extensive emissions tests have also proven that The Cell allows older and worn engines to exceed the upcoming Tier 4 EPA emissions standards.
The only downside is that you may have to stand in line for this new product. The Cell has only been on the market for five months and operating only through word of mouth. Bob says already “the company is bursting at the seams.”
