Water Powered Cars - Some Of The Common Myths About Them
by Dave Latimer

We live in a world where the oil wells are drying up with a finality that indicates that we need to find alternate sources of fuel. Most of the cars running on the roads use gasoline to derive power. The gasoline prices are however increasing constantly. Therefore, the car companies are constantly searching for alternative sources to make the vehicles less dependent on gasoline.
Recently the market has seen an increase in the number of vehicles running on alternative fuels that have been released by the auto giants.

Water Fuel Convertion  
by Cheryline Lawson

The rising gas price is on everyone’s mind these days. Even Barack Obama is mentioning it; even though President Bush is evading the issue. It is impacting the consumer and that is where most of the talk is. The focus now is trying to find a gas alternative and take matters into hand. The water 4 gas concept claims to save the consumer money on fuel. Some are even considering a hybrid vehicle as a way out of the high gas price. With the water 4 gas method, there is no need to buy a new car and you are able to convert your current vehicle to model this method so that you can save on gas and achieve better mileage on your car. The water 4 gas method is a conversion kit that enables you to convert your car to run on Browns Gas or HHO. This gas is created by stimulating water electrically from a car battery. The Brown’s Gas or HHO reduces the car’s fuel consumption and helps you to save at least 40% on gas.
From my calculation, this is a substantial savings from the current $4.05 per gallon of gas. The safety of Brown’s Gas or HHO is guaranteed and should not be a concern. The water conversion kit guides you step by step on how to turn your car into a “water run car.”
The water conversion kit comes with instructions on the components that you will need to administer this change. The cost to you can’t be more than sixty dollars out of pocket. For sixty bucks, you can save so much more from the gas pump. The items contained in the water conversion kit are baking soda, a hose, a container that is sealed and of course, you would include water. You would get the wiring from any local home depot store.

Run Your Car On Water - Lies, Myths And Other Untruths

The Honda Civic Hybrid From The Drivers Perspective : New Honda civic 2009
by Tony R.
We all know, in basic terms what a hybrid is all about and what some of the advantages are, but do we really know how they work and why they work? Let’s take a closer look at that question starting with Honda’s Civic hybrid as an example. To make it simple we have a vehicle with a gasoline powered engine much like any other. Added to that, is an auxiliary electric motor that functions to keep the gasoline motor working at a minimum. The electric motor needs some type of power supply to make it function, enter the hybrid system battery which is in addition to the normal 12 volt vehicle battery. Now, we have all the basic components covered so lets get a little deeper into how all these parts work in harmony to power your hybrid vehicle.We have to think about how and when the IMA system in a Civic hybrid is functioning. There are 2 modes that are used when you’re in the car. Either the System is in charge mode working to recharge the hybrid system battery or it is in assist mode where the electric motor is being used to power the vehicle.How does it work? “Assist”Now, jump in your hybrid and let’s take a look at how things get going. Turning the key to start your Civic hybrid is about the only step that would be comparable to a conventional car. Instead of a starter, your Civic uses the electric motor that is positioned between the gasoline engine and the transmission to get things turning. Now your up and running and heading for the grocery store, your watching that fancy little gauge that shows whether the car is charging or assisting and how much. Your climbing that hill and notice it indicates full assist, good thing since that little gas motor doesn’t really like accelerating too quickly on its own.How does it work? “Charge”Well, lets pretend that hill was really long and now you’ve spent a good amount of the energy stored in the hybrid system battery. On the way down your gauge shows full charge mode because the car is using something called regenerative braking to charge the battery back up again for the next hill. Basically, instead of throwing away all the energy that’s lost while decelerating or braking, we use regenerative braking to recapture and store some of that energy for when we need that assist function again.How does it work? “Autostop”When we come up to a stoplight right before the grocery store, it turns red and we stop. When we stop a Civic hybrid it goes into autostop mode, where the gasoline engine shuts down completely. The unique thing about hybrids is some of your traditional features are electric now instead of mechanical. So, when your sitting at the red light, your air conditioning, audio system, and other comforts continue to work as they would if you were idling there burning gas in a conventional vehicle. Now, when the light turns green and we are off to the races again, you step on the gas peddle and seamlessly the gasoline engine is back up and running. Remember, there is not a normal starter, so it functions just like when you go to start your hybrid.So what do i get out of it? “Advantages”With all this back and forth between charging and assisting we find our savings on fuel. We get the advantage of using wasted energy to charge our battery instead of having to plug into an outlet every night. We get the convenience of filling up at normal gas stations, but less often. The biggest advantage when talking about hybrids is, you can walk out to your driveway, get in your car, and head on down the road just as conveniently as you could in a gas only car. Nothing is drastically different from a drivers standpoint, you will not need to get used to a new routine of plugging your car in or trying to find some obscure alt-fuel station.

Protect your Family in a Honda CRV : New Honda CRV 2008 new car review
There are about 3 million minor injuries, 2 million permanent injuries, and almost 40,000 deaths in the United States each year caused by car-related accidents. Car accidents are one of the most common sources of injury. Even the most minor fender-benders can cause severe injury and permanent disability, not to mention insurance rate hikes and other expensive inconveniences. Severe auto accidents resulting in critical injuries and death are tragedies for everyone involved. Nothing is more devastating and unexpected then a car accident.Despite your greatest efforts to drive cautiously and safe, you are always at the mercy of other drivers as soon as you pull out of the driveway. For this reason it is important that your vehicle provides full protection, from the inside and out. It is evident that the Honda (site:samsclubauto.com/L-Honda-CRV.asp) is built with your family’s safety in mind. With its solid steel exterior and exceptional driving capabilities, you can stop worrying about your own safety and start concentrating on other drivers on the road.Solid Exterior BuildThe Honda CRV’s sturdy framework is designed to provide greater safety in collisions with larger vehicles because of its unbeatable strength and durability. The frame is built with high-tensile steel and uses extensive cross-bracing and stiffening members in key areas of its frame. This build will help to absorb and disperse collision energy over a larger area. The Honda CRV is also designed to withstand high levels of resistance in key areas for further protection.Side-Impact Door Beams. The dual side-impact door beams provide protection to the passengers during a side impact. They are made of high-tensile steel and absorb the energy of the impact.Front & Rear Crash Zones.The front and rear crash zones provide all passengers with further protection during front and rear collisions. They, too, are made of high-tensile steel which will absorb the impact.In addition to providing solid protection, the steel framework also reduces vibration and the noise level, leaving you with a smoother and more comfortable ride during all your road trips.Driving CapabilitiesNothing is scarier for a driver than suddenly loosing control of the vehicle due to elements on the road. With these key driving features, also found in the Honda (site:samsclubauto.com/L-Honda-Odyssey.asp), you no longer have to worry about driving in the rain or snow.Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is used in the Honda CRV to give the driver greater steering control of the vehicle. The ABS uses a special modulator to pulse the brakes, preventing the wheels from locking up. This feature helps the driver maintain steering control when braking hard. The Electronic Brake Distribution system (EBD) also enhances this feature by balancing both the front and rear braking forces.Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA).The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) is a sophisticated safety device that aids the driver in retaining control of the vehicle if any amount of side slippage is detected. This system controls sudden changes in the vehicles behavior, allowing the driver time to take control of the situation. For instance, when the driver is driving around corner or has to make a sudden maneuver, the VSA system will automatically engage if detects any loss of traction and stabilize the vehicle.It’s impossible to control other drivers on the road, but choosing a sturdy and dependable vehicle for your family is possible and extremely important for their safety। It’s up to you to take the proper steps that will lessen the consequences and seriousness of car accidents, should they occur. It’s always easier to prevent than to repair. by Amber Sell
