Wandering around in the dark, we hope each day to discover something.  

Years ago we wanted a new way to launch a toy car - a mechanism that utilized something other than a spring or motor. In an idea meeting we hit upon the idea of making Hydrogen gas out of water (H2O), igniting the gas to create an explosion, and thus launching a toy car. We built a quick rocket prototype in one day, and BOOM! we were astonished as we watched the world's first Hydrogen powered toy rocket soar high above our office parking lot and onto the roof of our next door neighbor. It was an exciting, Eureka! moment of discovery.

Our Hydrogen powered toy rocket was quickly licensed to the Estes Cox Corporation and has sold for years. This was the first toy, and possibly the first consumer product, to create and utilize Hydrogen as a power source.

For many years we have continued to explore how Hydrogen can be used, and the results have led us down many interesting paths. We have patented a Hydrogen powered lawnmower and worked with a major retailer and manufacturer of small engines to develop and commercialize this system. 

We received 2nd place in a NASA sponsored technology contest. We have developed and patented Hydrogen powered tools and equipment and have worked with the Chicago Park District to use our non-polluting Hydrogen Powered lawnmower in Chicago’s extensive parks system. And you may yet read about our Hydrogen powered chopper at an upcoming biker rally.
