Hydrogenology
Independent device testing

Which device should Hydrogenology test?

Verified reader requests determine the public ranking. A ranking position records reader interest; it is not an endorsement, recommendation or test result.

Current phase: collecting verified reader requests and confirming laboratory feasibility. No device-testing fundraising campaign is currently open.
Public and reproducible

Reader ranking

The ranking is calculated automatically from distinct, email-confirmed and moderated requests. One verified email counts once for each exact model. Hydrogenology cannot manually assign or reorder ranking positions.

Submit a testing request

Suggest a device for independent testing

Each request must identify one exact device and pass email verification and editorial moderation.

How this works

  1. You submit one exact manufacturer and model.
  2. We send an email confirmation link and a private copy of your request.
  3. After confirmation, the request remains hidden while it is moderated.
  4. If approved, it becomes one verified request for that exact model and is included automatically in the public ranking.

The ranking records verified reader interest. It is not a quality score, recommendation or test result.

Your email address is required for one-person-one-model verification and is never displayed publicly.

Email confirmation and moderation are mandatory. Confirmation does not guarantee publication or a ranking position. The confirmation link expires after 24 hours. Inappropriate, promotional, duplicate-abuse or unsafe content will not be published.
How your email and request data are used

Data controller: Hydrogenology. The email address is used privately for verification, abuse prevention and privacy requests. Unconfirmed requests are removed after 7 days; confirmed requests awaiting moderation after 30 days if not approved; the private email on an approved request after 24 months. You may request access or deletion at contact@hydrogenology.org.

Planning estimate

Testing starts only when the full budget is available

Approximately €8,000 for laboratory testing, documentation, travel and filming where permitted, plus the device’s actual retail price.

Eligibility, laboratory feasibility and independent acquisition

Eligibility and laboratory feasibility

  • The exact retail model must be publicly available and purchasable through an ordinary transaction.
  • The device must be identifiable, transportable and accepted by a suitable independent European laboratory.
  • High-priced or limited-availability devices are not automatically excluded; feasibility is confirmed before any campaign.
  • Testing proceeds only after the full disclosed budget is available.

Independent retail acquisition

The unit will be bought at retail by an independent person or company so the manufacturer is not told in advance that it is intended for testing. Hydrogenology will not use a false identity, make false statements or request a special sample. The invoice, exact model, laboratory scope, results, costs and relevant limitations will be documented publicly.

Financial transparency

Independent testing fund

This status concerns money specifically reserved for device testing. It is separate from voluntary contributions supporting the research library, hosting and general site maintenance.

Current public status
€0 collected
Funding has not started yet

No money is currently earmarked for independent device testing, and no testing campaign is being presented as funded. Hydrogenology will first confirm laboratory feasibility and obtain a written quotation. Testing will begin only after the complete published target is available.

Ledger opened: 13 August 2026. This page will retain a dated monthly entry, including months in which every value remains zero. Individual donor names and email addresses will not be published.

Financial rules, influence safeguards and cancellation policy

Before a testing campaign opens

Hydrogenology will publish the selected exact model, laboratory quotation or documented estimate, retail device price, testing scope, travel and filming allowance where permitted, total target, and feasibility limitations. The present planning estimate is €8,000 plus the actual retail device price; it is not yet a fundraising target.

No hidden influence

Money cannot buy a ranking position, device selection, favorable wording, suppressed findings, advertising or endorsement. The reader ranking remains based on verified requests. Safety, laboratory acceptance and feasibility may determine whether a ranked device can actually be tested.

Existing general contributions

Contributions made through the current support page help the research library, source access, hosting and maintenance. They are not automatically counted as device-testing funds. A dedicated testing campaign will not open until its financial rules and full target are published.

If testing cannot proceed

Before accepting restricted testing contributions, Hydrogenology will publish a specific cancellation, refund and residual-balance policy. No restricted testing contribution will be requested until that policy is available, so donors are not asked to rely on an undisclosed decision.
