The H.O.G (Hydrogen Oxygen generator) is made by a computerized milling machine, and human labor as it is manually hand fitted together. It is composed of 316L stainless steel, acrylic, and electronic controller which converts water into hydrogen in able to prevent smog that cars are emitting.
The Clarke-Brayton Engine has the potential for 55% brake thermal efficiency compared to 42% for state-of-the-art conventional diesels, is dramatically more compact than conventional engines of the same power, can burn diesel or natural gas as compression-ignition fuels and is less expensive to manufacture.
Large tonnage water cooled chillers are highly efficient, complicated machines and consume a lot of power. Each chiller is a compromise selection of heat exchangers, compressors with motors, and refrigerants to match the specific requirements of the customer.
