In electrolysis an electric current is used to separate water into its components – hydrogen and oxygen. The electricity enters the water at the cathode, a negatively charged electrode, passes through the water and exits via the anode, the positively charged electrode. The hydrogen is collected at the cathode and oxygen is collected at the anode.

For Diesel Engines, Hydrogen Injection is the only known technology to significantly reduce emissions without a fuel penalty. (Unlike other emissions gear.)

A majority of emissions are merely unburned fuel. Diesel Hydrogen Injection offers a more complete burn of

fuel. Since more of the fuel is combusted, there are fewer

emissions.
