GreenCell Technologies: Bartholomew Stepping Down as President of Surfing

“Rabbit” gets his gong and moves on to help rescue the future. Surfing Legend Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew and recipient of a well deserved Order of Australia, is also stepping down as President of the Association of Surfing Professionals, after 10 very fruitful years leading the group to the highest esteem around the world.

Bartholomew now takes up the post as Chairman and Managing Director of GreenCell Limited, an Australian biotech company leading the way in green technologies and organic innovations.
GreenCell has developed a unique photic bio-processor called the “GNUL”.

“It’s ‘LUNG’ in reverse,” says Bartholomew “because what it does is breathe in CO2 and breathe out oxygen. It uses algae to do what algae have always done, it’s called photosynthesis. Algae loves Carbon Dioxide, in fact up to 80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere is there thanks to algae.

“The GNUL replicates the process in a closed system using artificial sunlight, so our algae almost never rest, because the artificial sun never sets on them, until we want it to.

“I’m really enthusiastic about what the GreenCell GNUL can do. What it replicates is probably the oldest and most important process on the planet. Algae eats CO2, cleans up water and, if you harness it, as the GNUL can, it can be turned into useful by-products like light sweet crude, or fish food, stock feed or even fed back into industrial plants as fuel.

“The GNUL creates a harmonious and virtuous cycle.

“This technology has implications for everybody from big industry down those living in small towns.

“As a surfer you can’t help but be connected to the planet and its natural cycles, that’s what drew me to what GreenCell has. We all create a carbon footprint, but now we can be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

“GreenCell is also introducing low energy LED lighting in July, is trialling bio-remediation of water in NSW and Queensland, and - as we speak - is about to build its demonstration plant for the GNUL at a power station in Queensland.  “You can tell I’m very excited about the future of GreenCell. We are leading the way into the green millennium, helping to rescue the future.”

EMISSIONS AND TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A MULTICYLINDER PISTON

GT5 GreenCell Technologies: EMISSIONS AND TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A MULTICYLINDER PISTON ENGINE RUNNING ON GASOLINE AND A HYDROGEN-GASOLINE MIXTURE

Johz F. Cassidy Lewis Research Center. Chehnd, Ohio 44135 An experimental program using a multicylinder reciprocating engine was performed to extend the efficient lean operating range of gasoline by adding hydrogen. Both bottled hydrogen and hydrogen produced by a research methanol steam reformer were used. These results were compared with results for all gasoline. A high-compression-ratio, 7. 4-liter (472-in. 3) d i s placement production engine was used. Apparent flame speed was-used to describe the differences in emissions and performance. Therefore, engine emissions and performance, including apparent flame speed and energy lost to the cooling system and the exhaust gas, were measured over a range of equivalence ratios for each fuel. The results were used to explain the advantages of adding hydrogen to gasoline as a method of extending the lean operating range. The minimum-energy-consumption equivalence ratio was extended to leaner conditions by adding hydrogen, although the minimum energy consumption did not change. All emission levels decreased at the leaner conditions. Also, adding hydrogen significantly increased flame speed over all equivalence ratios. Engine performance and emissions with hydrogen from the methanol reformer were about the same as those with bottled hydrogen.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies, Canada - INTRODUCTION . Increasing the efficiency of reciprocating engines has constantly been pursued since Otto-cycle engines were first used as vehicle powerplants. The important effects of fuel consumption on factors such as vehicle range, operating cost, and vehicle structures have always been important design considerations. During the past decade, the impact of environmental factors and a national interest in energy conservation have accentuated the need to produce clean and efficient engines. Many concepts for im

proving efficiency and meeting emissions standards have been tested and reported in the A review of the literature dealing with the problems of lean-mixture-ratio operation shows that a fuel with a low lean flammability limit and a high flame speed might yield low exhaust emissions at ultralean conditions. Hydrogen was identified in reference 5 as having those properties and has been the subject of much investigation. Using a small quantity, on a weight basis, of hydrogen as a supplement to gasoline was chosen as a way to extend lean engine operation. Onboard generation of hydrogen was selected as a feasible way to use hydrogen in a mobile application. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory I conducted a similar program (refs. 6 and 7) in which hydrogen generated by the partial oxidation of gasoline was used as a fuel supplement for lean engine operation. Various  commercial processes to generate hydrogen were analyzed for their applicability. The catalytic steam reformation of methyl alcohol (methanol) using engine exhaust heat was selected as being the most efficient process to generate hydrogen that was also compact enough to be carried on a vehicle. One disadvantage is that it would require a second fuel and a second fuel system.

A research system to generate hydrogen by methanol reformation was built and installed on a multicylinder engine in an existing engine test setup. An independent and parallel program on catalyst evaluation was performed but is not part of this report. An engine test program was conducted using gasoline and additions of gaseous hydrogen and reformed methanol to evaluate the effects of hydrogen-gasoline fuel mixtures on exhaust emissions, extension of lean engine operating limits, and fuel flammability limits and combustion flame speed.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies, Canada - This report presents a brief description of the breadboard methanol reformation system and the results of fuel and engine testing. The data were taken in the U. S. customary system of units and converted to SI units for this report.

GreenCell GT5 Begins Extensive Testing Phase with Long-Haul Trucking Companies

(Toronto) — GT5 GreenCell Technologies is proud to announce it has successfully completed another round of advanced testing with significant HydroCell™ results.  The integrated GreenCell Hydrogen Enrichment System is now expected to double anticipated hydrogen output, and further increase fuel efficiencies in diesel trucks around the world.
These new results augment earlier tests conducted from November 2009 to January 2010, whereby Electronic Control Data was downloaded from vehicles equipped with the HydroCell™ and directly compared to those without the HydroCell™ running the same route and under the same conditions.
Hydrogen, as a fuel, is emission free and the only by-product of combustion is water.  It is the most abundant element in the universe and is the fuel of choice for the Space Shuttle’s main engine.  The addition of a GreenCell Hydrogen Enrichment System is similar to adding a Supercharger to an engine.
To assure continued fuel savings, the HydroCell™ is always tested for performance, efficiency, reliability and hydrogen output on numerous vehicles, to enhance its core design and help refine the product specifications for engineers.  In addition to recent discoveries, GreenCell is also conducting extensive lab tests to establish the most efficient electrolyte mixture and the optimal Anode to Cathode distance for maximum hydrogen production.  These tests will lead to new modifications to increase hydrogen output, boost fuel efficiency overall and reduce manufacturing costs.
The HydroCell™ is an electrolysis-based on-demand Hydrogen generator designed specifically for the transport industry. The product draws a small amount of power from the vehicles electrical system and uses it to produce Hydrogen gas from a water-based solution. The HydroCell™ directs the produced Hydrogen gas to the intake of the vehicles engine where it acts as a catalyst during the normal combustion cycle. This creates more power and fewer emissions, burning only the existing fuel in the cylinder, resulting simply in less fuel being required to operate the vehicle.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell

The HydroCell produces Hydrogen Gas, on demand, and adds it to the air drawn into a diesel engine. This small quantity of Hydrogen has large effects on the combustion process.

GreenCell Technologies Inc  is a Canadian company dedicated to designing and bringing to market, technology-based products in the alternative energy market. The current product is called the HydroCell, an on-board on-demand hydrogen generator engineered specifically for Diesel Transport Trucks.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell: The result is approximately 10% fuel savings and up to a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide).

GreenCell Tek is also involved in the Solar Energy market. We are currently conducting research and developing strategies to open an alternative energy division that will offer product, consultation and installation services for the Canadian market.

The HYDROCELL system is a safe and reliable product designed exclusively for the Diesel Transport Truck market. The HYDROCELL draws only 25 Amps from the vehicles 12 Volt system and generates enough hydrogen through-out the entire RPM range to enhance combustion.

GreenCell Technologies’s advanced feedback system monitors several conditions and adjusts the electrolysis process, to provide safe and efficient production of Hydrogen gas. The system was designed to operate in a temperature range of -40 to +60C and has an in-cab indicator to show system status. Installation requires no modification to the engine and does not affect the manufacturer’s warranty. The only maintenance needed is the addition of distilled water every 250 hours of operation.

It has been proven in validated tests that adding Hydrogen to fuel in an internal combustion engine will increase the flame speed. At various RPM’s the fuel that is present in the cylinder is not completely burned during the combustion cycle due to the flame speed of petroleum based fuels and the amount of time the combustion cycle is allowed, due to engine speed and load. The addition of Hydrogen gas increases that flame speed and allows for all the fuel in the cylinder to be burned during each combustion cycle. This increases the power produced during that cycle which results in a net savings in fuel use of 10% on average. Greenhouse Gas emissions are also reduced significantly as the major cause of those emissions is un-burnt fuel in the exhaust.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell: Average of 10% Fuel Savings, Produces Hydrogen on demand, Operates only when engine is running , Low Maintenance – requires water every 200 operating hours and Fail-Safe design – stores no Hydrogen.
