Henry Cavendish, London 1731 - 1810

1766 - Henry Cavendish,  was a British scientist noted for his discovery of hydrogen or what he called "inflammable air".[1] 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).

      Martinus van Marum, Delft, Groningen, Haarlem, 1750 - 1837

 1776 - Dutch scientist Martinus van Marum did various experiments with electricity. During one of his experiments (Groningen) he created Oxygen and Hydrogen gas using electrolises. He discovered (by accident?) that this mixture can be ignited (exploded) by an electric spark. No one got injured.

       Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier, Paris 1743 – 1794

1781 - Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier 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,[2] recognized and named oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783)

1789 - Dutch researchers Paets van Troostwijk and Joan Rudolph Deiman (Amsterdam) proved with their experiments for the first time,  that water his elements are exactly 1 part oxygen and 2 parts hydrogen (exactly like what we now call Brown's gas / HHO gas). They used electricity to split water in his 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 

         Drummond spot light

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 brown's gas and calcium oxide.

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".

       Henry Garrett, Dallas USA

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

1943 - 1945 - Because of serious conventional fuel shortage at the end of WW2, the British army used Brown's/ HHO Gas generators in their tanks, boats and other vehicles to get better mileage and to to prevent engine overheating for vehicles used in africa. They used generators like the today's HHO fuel savers. Right after the war all the generators were removed from the vehicles and destroyed.  

1962 - William A. Rhodes (USA) is the first inventor known to patent an electrolyzer that produced the simple 'single-ducted' gas we now call Brown's Gas or HHO 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.     

            
1974 - Ten years after William Rhodes patents,  Yull Brown   (originally a  Bulgarian Student named Ilya Velbov  1922-1998) from Australia  filed a patent on his design of a Brown's / HHO 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 endeavor. Due to his lifelong effort, he is posthumously honored 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.  

        Yull Brown, Bulgaria / Australia 1922-1998            

"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 nonexplosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gas in the precise atom-to-atom ratio of two volumes of hydrogen to one volume of oxygen.

Professor Yull Brown disco vered 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                     

1991 - In 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 Norinco from China is one of world's largest manufacturers of Browns Gas / HHO Gas generators.

One of world's largest Brown Gas generators factories in the world is based on the Yull Brown technology. B.E.S.T. Korea - www.browngas.com This company has several unique patents.

      
1991 - Teslalein Research, A small company in the Netherlands started working on Brown's Gas / HHO 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. And threw aside traditional electrolyzer technology; drew upon their research in alternative energy and achieved a superior electrolyzer 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 alternative energy solutions. www.eagle-research.com/

2007 Equipnet LTD. United Kingdom got their Brown's Gas generators CE approved ( safety) which is a milestone.

2008   Especially the market for Brown's gas generators ( and BG - 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 brown's gas / HHO gas run smoother using less convential 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 Brown's Gas fuel saver.
• May 2008  Browns Gas / HHO  fuel injection (HFI) technology will now be used on school buses in Canada.
• June 2008 The first Dutch fishingboat will be equiped with Browns Gas fuel saver generators in 2008.
• August 2008, Manufacturer B.E.S.T.Korea officially introduces their products in Europe. Based in Londen, UK.  See homepage.
• Companies like SAMSUNG already use Brown's Gas because of the high quality cut and seel of vacuum glass pipes of PDP, LCD TV that needs the best quality.
