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.

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. 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 ...

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: 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

Applications were: Transport Trucks; School Busses; Municipal Heavy Equipment - Snow-Plows - Garbage & Recycle Trucks; Farm Heavy Equipment - Tractors - Sprayers/Bailers & Harvesters; Construction Heavy Equipment - Bulldozers - Dump Trucks - Black-Hoes; and Diesel-Electric Generators
Solar Energy.

GreenCell Technologies is currently conducting research and developing strategies to manufacture Solar Photovoltaic (PV) products and bring them to market. The Solar Energy market is being driven by government incentives including significant rebates and power buy-back contracts. These incentives have fueled a growth of the PV markets in Canada, which have been averaging 26% annually since 1993, and about 36% annually since 2000.
