1766 - Henry Cavendish (1731-1810), was a British scientist, noted for his discovery of hydrogen or what he called "inflammable air". He described the density of inflammable air, which formed water on combustion, in a 1766 paper "On Factitious Airs". Antoine Lavoisier later reproduced Cavendish's experiment and gave the element its name, Hydrogen.(photo 1)

1776 - Dutch scientist, Martinus van Marum (1750-1837) did various experiments with electricity. During one of his experiments (Groningen) he created Oxygen and Hydrogen gas using electrolysis. He discovered, possibly by accident, that this mixture could be ignited (exploded) by an electric spark.(photo 2)

1781 - Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, Paris, (1743-1794), was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry, finance, biology, and economics. He stated the first version of the law of conservation of mass, recognized and named oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783).(photo 3.)

1781 - The famous French scientist Lavoisier wrote; " Léau est le grand réservoir, où la Nature trouve la masse de combustibles, qu'elle forme continuellement sous no yeux, et la vegetation paroît être son grand moyen ". Which says; " Water is the large tank, where Nature finds the fuel mass, what continuously forms under our eyes, and the vegetation cell to be its great means".

1789 - Dutch researchers Paets van Troostwijk and Joan Rudolph Deiman (Amsterdam) proved with their experiments for the first time, that water's elements are exactly 1 part oxygen and 2 parts hydrogen. They used electricity to split water in its' elements and used a spark to to combine the elements again in water. In the same experiment they were able to measure the exact volume of the elements.

1803 - Robert Hare developed and experimented with the oxy-hydrogen blowpipe.

1826 - Thomas Drummond discovered that an intense illumination is created when an oxyhydrogen flame is directed at a cylinder of calcium oxide, which can be raised to white heat without melting. He built the so called "Drummond Light" also calles "Limelight". This "Drummond Light'' 'can be created with oxyhydrogen gas and calcium oxide. (photo 4)

1860 - Mr. Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir from Belgium/ France built the first car that produced its own combustible hydrogen fuel by onboard electrolysis (powered by a battery). (photo 5)

1875 - Jules Verne in his book The Mysterious Island, wrote the following age: "Water decomposed into its primitive elements, and decomposed doubtless by electricity, which will then have become a powerful and manageable force. Yes, my friends, I believe that water will one day be employed as a fuel".

1888 - A lot of research concerning HHO applications and HHO production was being done in the late 1800's. For example A: Adding carbon vapour to the HHO flame for getting a better flame for lightning and heating. B: Safely burning the HHO gas by using a Bunsenburner and the use of a metal grill for flashback protection. They already new very well how to use the gas at that time. But it wasn't economical because of the high price, and limited availability, of electricity making HHO gas. Our HHO fuel cells are far more efficient!

1918 -  Mr. Charles H. Frazer patented the first "Hydrogen Booster" system for internal combustion engines. USAPatent.No. 1,262,034 He stated that his invention: 1 - Increases the efficiency of internal combustion engines. 2 - Complete combustion of hydrocarbons. 3 - Engine will stay cleaner. 4 - Lower grade of fuel can be used with equal performance.

1935 - Inventor Henry Garrett patented a electrolytic carburrettor and let a car run just on tap water.

1943 - 1945 - Because of serious conventional fuel shortage at the end of World War 2, the British army used Oxyhydrogen gas generators in their tanks, boats and other vehicles to get better mileage and prevent engine overheating for vehicles used in Africa. They used generators just alike some of the today's HHO fuel savers. Right after the WW2 the government ordered to remove and destroy all generators from the vehicles.

1962 - William A. Rhodes (USA) is the first inventor known to patent an electrolyser that produced the simple 'single-ducted' gas we now call Brown's Gas. In the mid 1960's Mr. Rhodes formed a company (Henes Corp.) with partners who took control of the operation and cut him out. This was a bad mistake, because they did not yet have Mr. Rhodes most efficient design. Henes Corp. eventually failed, went through several hands and was eventually acquired by Dennis McMurray. The company, now named Arizona Hydrogen , is doing well in Phoenix Arizona USA. Watch Mr. William A. Rhodes video.

But at least a few generators survived after WW2. In the mid 1970's a German company named Lötgerat produced Oxyhydrogen generators. They used all new materials and parts except for the generator unit and the bubbler. They are obviously much older and made roughly of solid steel. Made in the same way as all of the other army equipment. Built to last. (photos 8 & 9)

1974 - Ten years after William Rhodes patents, Yull Brown (1922-1998) originally a Bulgarian Student named Ilya Velbov, later from Australia, filed a patent on his design of a Brown's Gas electrolyzer and spent the rest of his life trying to make Brown's Gas a commercial success. He (convinced others) to spent about 30 million dollars and nearly 30 years in this endeavour. Due to his lifelong effort, he is posthumously honoured by continuing to call the gas Brown's Gas. Several companies were started, both in cooperation and in competition with Yull Brown. Due to his efforts this variety of hydrogen gas is called Brown's Gas.

"THE DISCOVERY OF BROWN'S GAS". Born in 1922 in Bulgaria, Yull Brown went to Australia in 1958 as an electrical engineer with a deep belief that Jules Verne’s vision of "There is fire in water", could be realized. He worked as an unknown laboratory technician until he could develop his own laboratory. By 1978, Professor Yull Brown was being described by The Australian Post as "the most talked about inventor in Australia today". He "discovered" in the early 1970's a proprietary method of water electrolysis that yields a non-explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gas in the precise atom-to-atom ratio of two volumes of hydrogen to one volume of oxygen (HHO). Professor Yull Brown discovered that hydrogen and oxygen gas can be safely mixed (plus or minus 5 percent) if that ration is strictly maintained. The result is Brown's Gas, a hydrogen and oxygen mixture that can be economically generated, compressed, and used safely. In Professor Brown's process, the hydrogen and oxygen gases are immediately and intimately mixed at exactly the right ratio (the scientific term is "stoichiometric mix"). Brown's Gas is produced within an electrolysis cell, without membranes and with safety, invented by Professor Yull Brown. Watch original Dr.Yull Brown Video.

1977 - The NASA Lewis Research Centre conducted a series of tests using a large block American made V8 piston engine, fully instrumented and mounted on a dyno. They were interested in what effects Hydrogen had on the operation of the engine. The results were stunning. They also proposed an alternate method to produce the gas, which is more efficient than the usual electrolysis. NASA Document: NASA TN D-8478 C.1 dated May 1977 The name of the white paper is "EMISSIONS AND TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A MULTICYLINDER PISTON ENGINE RUNNING ON GASOLINE AND A HYDROGEN-GASOLINE MIXTURE".

1990 - Mr. Juan Carlos Aquero patented an energy transforming system for internal combustion engines, which uses Oxygen-hydrogen & steam. European patent:0 405 919 A1 / 90306988.8 (26-06-1990).

1990 - Mr. Stanley A. Meyer got a patent on a method for the production of a Oxygen-Hydrogen Fuel Gas. Patent number: 4,936,961 - June 26, 1990. What made it very special was the dielectric resonant circuit. Mr. Stanley Meyer made a Buggy with only water as fuel.

1991 - KIM, SANG NAM from Korea visited Yull Brown's laboratory in suburbs of Sydney. This was the start of Brown's cooperation with B.E.S.T. KOREA (of browngas.com ** without the S). They succeeded in innovative technology development regarding Browns Gas (They call it Brown Gas). Today B.E.S.T. Korea together with B.E.S.T. Norinco, located in Bautou China is one of world's largest manufacturers of original Browns Gas generators. (photo 7)

1991 - Teslalein Research, a small company in the Netherlands started working on Brown's Gas research. Mainly for the purpose of increasing health and plant growing. His company Cyrus-Research is still in business and doing well.

1994 - Eagle-Research, George Wiseman, Canada, started an independent research program on Brown's Gas in 1994. They threw aside traditional electrolyser technology; drew upon their research in alternative energy and achieved a superior electrolyser design. Interestingly, Eagle-Research independently duplicated William Rhodes most efficient design, with enhancements. William Rhodes has reviewed and confirmed the brown's gas technology. Today Eagle research sells browns gas generators and many other great alternative energy solutions. See www.eagle-research.com (photo 6)

2003 - Richard Bird, Hydrotechnix starts experimenting with Brown's gas and researching the technology.

2006 - Mr. Dennis J. Klein and mr. R.M. Santilli from Florida USA got a patent for an: "Apparatus and method for the conversion of water into a new gaseous and combustible form and the combustible gas formed thereby." Patent No. US 2006/0075683 A1. The gas they produce they call HHO.
 
2007- Hydrotechnix begins commercial installations in the UK.

2007 - Equipnet LTD. United Kingdom, got their Brown's Gas generators CE approved ( safety) which is a milestone.
 
2008 - The market for Brown's gas generators and HHO fuel savers seems to be booming. Several new manufacturers and even more distributors of these products show up. The quality of the generators varies. It has been proven that internal combustion engines boosted with Oxygen/Hydrogen HHO run smoother using less conventional fuel and have much less air pollution. See fuel savers page.
May 2008 - In Portugal the first 300 diesel trucks will be provided with a Oxygen Hydrogen fuel saver.
May 2008 - Oxygen Hydrogen / HHO fuel injection (HFI) technology will now be used on school buses in Canada.
August 2008 - Manufacturer B.E.S.T.Korea officially introduces their products in Europe. Based in London, UK. Companies like SAMSUNG already use Brown's Gas because of the high quality cut and seal of vacuum glass pipes of PDP, LCD TV that needs the best quality.
December 2008 - DAEWOO join Ethos in the race to drive the first HHO water powered car in Europe.

2008 - Hydrotechnix moves to southern Spain and begins to set up a network of qualified installers across the UK and Europe.

2009 - HHO events like the HHO Games in Florida, USA and Thailand continue to grow. The first commercially available HHO generators for heating, cooking appear.

2009 - Hydrotechnix develops an electronic device to overcome the Engine Management System on modern diesel engines. This is a major development as HHO fuel cells produce little or no gains at all on the new versions of diesel cars because the ECU's cancel out any gains. These ECU's were fitted by major car companies to meet stricter emissions regulations. Hydrotechnix conducts trials to enable customers to receive a reduction in road tax, exemption from congestion zones and a reduction in 'low emission' zone charges.

2010 - Hydrotechnix develops a Fuel Controller for more reliable increases in ecomony gains on Diesel vehicles fitted with Common Rail Injection Systems. This is programmed by Make, Model and Year to accurately supply the vehicles ECU with the correct settings needed for the engine to run on HHO.This is a major breakthrough in the development for Diesel vehicles running on HHO.

2011- Hydrotechnix gaind TUV approval on their product. The first company in this industry to meet the strict German testing for safety, EMC compliance and performance.

2012- The Business Accelerators Award was set up by David Cameron (UK Prime Minister) to help companies expand to world leaders. The award was won in January by Hydrotechnix Ltd.
