Creative energy system's duel fuel system

Creative Energy Systems, of Utah, is performing test installations of a set of technologies they call the Duel Fuel System. The DFS system, through the use of hydroxy gas and fuel modification, is claimed to allow for improvements in gas mileage of over 50%, and in some cases up to 100%, or higher.

Companies that claim to improve gas mileage via hydrogen boosters, special processing of gasoline, or the use of fuel additives, are a dime a dozen. Although it has been established -- at least in my opinion -- that such systems can improve gas mileage, but the actual performance of such systems can be hit or miss. Often, but not always, such companies exaggerate the gas mileage improvements their systems can produce, and charge high prices for the lackluster results that can be achieved.

A company named Creative Energy Systems (CES), based in St. George, Utah, USA, has developed a set of processes they call the "Duel Fuel System", that are claimed to a minimum of 50% improvements in gas mileage. They claim the actual amount of fuel efficiency improvement can go far higher than that (up to 100% or more -- which is a doubling of mileage), depending on a myriad of factors such as the model of car, and the driving habits of the vehicle owner.

CES describes their "Duel Fuel System" as the "greatest breakthrough since the invention of the polluting internal combustion engine." In my opinion, even if their technology works exactly as they claim, such a statement is hyperbole. An improvement of fuel efficiency of 50% to 100% or more would be highly significant, but does not come close to being the greatest breakthrough in the last one hundred years. I would reserve that designation for Andrea Rossi's Cold Fusion E-Cat technology, or perhaps a couple other exotic energy technologies that are preparing to emerge into the market place. If Clean Energy Systems ends up offering a system that can run a vehicle exclusively on water alone (like Stanley Meyer's dune buggy), such a bold statement may be appropriate. (And CES is pursuing that objective as well.)

The "Duel Fuel System" is composed of four components, that each contribute to increasing the fuel efficiency of the vehicle in which it is installed. To begin, the first component is a hydroxy fuel cell that produces HHO (also known as Brown's Gas) via an electrolysis process. The hydroxy gas is channeled into the air intake and appears to act by splitting the larger fuel molecules into smaller molecules so the fuel is more efficiently burned.

The second component is a fuel "cracking" system they call the, "Kracker." This device processes the fuel (gasoline for example) into a form that can be more completely combusted by the engine, by transforming the heavy hydrocarbons into lighter hydrocarbons. It is claimed to do so via the use of permanent magnets, a catalyst, and heat.

The third component of the system is an ECU (electronic control unit) that interfaces with the vehicles computer. Without the ECU, it could be impossible to optimize the air fuel ratio and timing of the engine to work optimally with the "Duel Fuel System," because the computer tends to fight against the changes otherwise.

Finally, an additive is mixed with the gasoline in the gas tank to make the fuel, "vaporize and crack more easily."

By utilizing all of these components, the "Duel Fuel System" is claimed to produce fuel efficiency improvements of over 50%, and sometimes up to 100%.

CES claims to have installed 200 units of a previous model of the "Duel Fuel System" (which didn't go by the same name back then), which produced good results, but not always a 50% improvement. The reason for this is claimed to be that the technicians performing the installations did not always perform them correctly, and this resulted in reduction in the possible gain, and sometimes even a loss of mileage. Since then, they have installed four units of the new model of the "Duel Fuel System", and have seen excellent results. For example, a 50% increase of fuel efficiency in a BMW, a 60% increase in a Mercury Marquis, a 70% increase in a Toyota Camry, and a 90% increase in a Honda Civic. These are very good numbers, if they indeed are accurate.

It should be noted that the company is not selling these systems to members of the general public at this time. They are not even selling these systems to commercial drivers. Instead, they are in a period of testing. During this time period, they will only sell the systems to selected and qualified customers, who are willing to participate in a year of testing.

The cost of the system is $2,500, which seems a bit high (especially for a system still undergoing testing). However, if the fuel efficiency of a vehicle with the system can go up 50% to 100%, it could pay for itself in a fairly short period of time. This would especially be true for someone who drives for a living, or has a long commute back and fourth to work.

CES was founded by Welton Myers nearly a decade ago. He is the one who got Sterling involved in the free energy field. Myers was one of the founding directors of PES Network, Inc. Myers has been involved in fuel efficiency projects for many years. Here's an excerpt from our bio page about him at PESWiki:

[In the early 1980's, Welton ran a] carburetor project in which he transformed a car to get three times the mileage. The organization he founded along with Bill Cope, "Knowledge is Power," held weekly seminars at Robert Wesley College, where people came to learn how to convert their cars to get three times the gas mileage.

That project came to a halt when his car was sabotaged, the pressure release valve being clamped down tight, causing his car to explode while he was driving it. The next day, as the car sat on blocks in his driveway, a trailer pulled up, and some men who told Welton's wife they were hauling the car for Welton (not true), towed the car away; and Welton never saw it again.

The blueprints are held by an associate today, but Welton does not recommend the design because of the high pressures involved (3000 – 6000 PSI), which could be dangerous if the car is in an accident.

The "Kracker" portion of the CES' Duel Fuel system most likely is informed by this earlier design.

At this time, there is a not a website for CES. They are hoping to get one up in the near future.

They are also entertaining license inquiries. We looked at their confidential, 150-page "Sales and Mechanical Training" manual as well as their "Marketing Manual".
