Body Design
The Scorpion:
The first automotive design of several will be a mild hybrid, called the
"Scorpion". This will be a light weight hand built carbon fiber body, over a
race car designed chrome-moly chassis, powered by the latest high tech Acura
V-Tech, V-6, Type S, 3.5 Liter power-plant from the 2008 TL TypeS. On board will
be our Hydrogen on demand system, which provides 130 octane Hydrogen in real
time, blended with gasoline in ratios of 30-50%. Coupled with a close ratio
six-speed transmission and other fuel saving measures, the "Scorpion", highway
fuel economy will be in the 40 mpg range, and capable of producing 450
horsepower with the twin-turbo option.

Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI)
Produces hydrogen during vehicle operation through electrolysis of water using
the power generated from the vehicles electrical system. A small amount of
hydrogen added to the vehicles intake air/fuel mixture allows the engine to
operate with less fossil fuel. Ronn Motor Company will use this technology in
its revolutionary Scorpion to achieve lower emissions and vastly improved fuel
economy.
There are two main kinds of Hydrogen Hybrid automobile. These are fuel cell
vehicles and Hydrogen internal combustion engines, (HICE) like our first
automobile "The Scorpion". Fuel cell vehicles are electric cars. Hydrogen is
pumped into a tank in the car, just as gasoline. The hydrogen gas is then fed
into the fuel cell where it is electrochemically converted into
electricity--with no combustion, no moving parts and no emissions other than
water vapor. The electricity is used to power the vehicle.
Hydrogen ICE vehicles use a regular combustion engine modified to use gaseous
hydrogen instead of liquid gasoline (much like a natural gas vehicle is
modified). They burn hydrogen or a combination of gasoline and hydrogen, but
since there is no carbon in hydrogen, there are no or almost no CO2 emissions
and only trace amounts of NOx (oxides of nitrogen). Hydrogen ICE vehicles are
typically about 30-50% more efficient than comparable gasoline vehicles.
Company Details
The Company
Ronn Maxwell first met Adrian Pylypec in Johnson City, Texas, at the Silver K
Café to discuss the possibility of building an American exotic sports car in
August, 2007. For the next 3 months, they created a business... more
