DAYTON, OH (WDTN) — An electrolyzer, which splits water and electricity into hydrogen and oxygen by breaking their bonds, was the inspiration for Chris McWhinney to start Millennium Reign Energy.
Taking that idea to a larger scale, the company builds hydrogen generators with this method to fuel cars. While they are similar to electric vehicles, they have a big advantage on getting back on the road fast.
David Cooke, Ohio State University Senior Associate Director at the Center for Automotive Research said, “If we figure out the fuel, you know, hydrogen will be everywhere.”
McWhinney, Millennium Reign Energy CEO and Founder said, “Big difference is that the hydrogen car can be refilled and depending on what station you’re in, 3 to 5 minutes or with our stations, 8, 15 minutes, and you’re going to go 350 miles.”
