The HydroCell is a Hydrogen Enrichment System developed by GreenCell Technologies Inc.

This product, developed in Canada, produces Hydrogen and Oxygen gas on demand and adds it to the air drawn into a diesel engine. The addition of a small quantity of Hydrogen gas has a dramatic effect on the combustion process. The gas increases the flame speed during combustion, which results in a fuel savings and a reduction in emissions.

The HydroCell Enrichment System is a self-contained product that mounts on the vehicles exterior. This product draws minimal power from the vehicles battery system and uses it to produce hydrogen gas on demand. Various sensors and circuits regulate the process to ensure that the gas is produced as required, based on the vehicles needs. The hydrogen gas is drawn into the engine through the air intake. Hydrogen gas has a flame speed approximately 9 times that of diesel, which results in a more complete burning of the fuel. This complete combustion produces an increase in horsepower and a decrease in emissions (un-burnt fuel expelled in the exhaust).

The diesel engine has four distinct cycles; Intake, Compression, Combustion and Exhaust. A small quantity of hydrogen gas is added during the intake cycle and is compressed during the compression cycle. The diesel fuel is then added and is ignited. The added hydrogen gas enhances the combustion cycle and ignites all the fuel in the cylinder prior to the exhaust cycle. Increased fuel economy and a reduction of emissions are a result of the complete combustion of the diesel fuel. The use of the HydroCell enrichment system results in more power being produced in each combustion cycle without additional fuel being added.

The HydroCell acts like a super-charger. It draws power from the engine to perform a function. The result of that function is an increase in power produced by the engine. The fuel saving, as a result of the increase in horsepower, is approximately 10-30%. This represents a significant savings to the Transport and Haulage Industry. The emissions numbers are equally as impressive. There is up to a 50% reduction in the emissions of nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (greenhouse gases).
