Frequently Asked Questions
"Will the Jetstar™ help reduce emissions and help pass an emissions test?" "Yes." By reducing toxic emissions, the Jetstar™ should assist in passing an emissions test (e.g. Ontario Clean Air Program) at the certified air care facilities.
"Will the Jetstar™ improve fuel economy and by how much?"As the Jetstar™ creates a more efficient burn, horsepower is expected to improve. Jetstar™ users can expect to experience improved vehicle fuel economy. Actual results will vary.
"How often is Jetfuel™ added to the Jetstar™ Unit?" Additional Jetfuel™ is to be added every 90 hours or every 5,000 miles of cumulative operation.
"Does the gas chamber cell solution require replenishment to the Jetstar™?" The replenishment of this solution to the Jetstar™ unit is not required.
"How is this possible for the engine to become cleaner (over time) and increase engine oil life?" The improved engine combustion results in less carbon build up inside the engine thus a cleaner running engine resulting in cleaner oil, thereby contributing to longer engine life and lower overall engine maintenance, thus lower overall costs.
"Will the Jetstar™ freeze in the winter?" The Jetstar™ has been engineered to operate at temperatures as low as -45 degrees Celsius.
"How much electrical energy does the Jetstar™ consume?" The normal consumption of electrical power is approximately 12-14A. This is about the same amount of energy consumed by the vehicle's headlights.
"Are engine modifications required when installing the Jetstar™?" "No." There are no engine modifications required when installing the Jetstar™.
"Will the Jetstar™ repair my tired motor?" "No." The Jetstar™ will however enhance the performance of a good running and well-maintained engine.
"Will my engine overheat?" "No." The increase in efficiency of the thermodynamic cycle actually results in lower engine temperature.
"Can anyone install the Jetstar™ unit?" "No." We have a network of mobile installation vehicles with trained technicians to professionally install the product, at your convenience. We can also certify your mechanic staff so they can safely install the Jetstar™ on your vehicles.
"Is hydrogen safe to use?" Hydrogen is the lightest of gases and thus dissipates/disperses into the air very quickly. Only when it is stored can it become unsafe. The Jetstar™ does not store hydrogen and therefore is safe within the design parameters of the system.
"Ballard Power Systems is utilizing hydrogen today. Is the Jetstar™ technology similar?" "No." Ballard is researching the viability of producing "Hydrogen Fuel Cells". Fuel cells are intended to utilize hydrogen as an alternative main fuel. In their case the vehicle will have fuel cells that produce electricity from hydrogen. The power generated will then be used to power electrical motors. This technology is experimental and is not expected to be commercially available for many years.
