The Next Generation Of Alternative Fuel Cars - Hybrid Cars  
by Kath Mathews

The hybrid car, so much has been said about it. Not until now has there been a complete shift and focus on the hybrid’s emergence. With gas prices at an all time high, the economic pressure to save dollars is now forcing Americans to look at alternative money saving measures.

More and more people are opting for carpooling and the use of the public transportation system rather than driving their personal vehicles to and from work. Families are consolidating trips for everyday household errands and are even delaying or canceling family vacations. These changes have come about because of the price of gasoline in America.

Others are even trying alternative methods of fuel combustion, like the Water2Fuel craze. Anything to squeeze a few more miles out of their beloved automobiles in an effort to save money on high fuel costs.

The problem is, Americans do not “like” being forced to change their driving habits. The majority of Americans realize that the reliance on foreign oil is not a good thing and that America needs to find a way to produce its own sustainable fuel source. And then there are the concerns about the burning of fossil fuels and the damage it’s causing to the earth’s eco system. Price and pollution, what is the answer? Could it be the hybrid car?

Hybrid cars, such as Toyota’s Prius and Honda’s Insight, rely on both gasoline power and electric power. The electric portion of the powerplant is driven by very large batteries that are recharged as the car is driven. The result is less dependence on fuel with better gas mileage. Honda’s Insight is reported to average 60 miles per gallon city with fewer emissions. The difference is simple - while driving in the city the electric motor is doing most of the work, thus using less gasoline. Highway driving needs more power and is where the gasoline engine does its work.

The hybrid does have its share of drawbacks. What new technology doesn’t? They are smaller vehicles made up of lighter-weight materials and parts. And you will sacrifice horsepower for fuel economy (forget about towing a boat or trailer with a hybrid, at least for now). Additionally, the hybrid market is in its infancy. In 2008, the hybrid market was estimated to make up about 2% of the total automobile market. This is because many automakers have been slow to enter the hybrid market.

And there are those that believe the hybrid car is not as effective a technology solution to alternative fuel, such as ethanol, made from corn, switch grass, or even hydrogen and saltwater.

Where will the power that fuels America’s vehicles come from? Nobody seems to know right now. We do know this: Steam power was replaced by electric power, and electric power was replaced by gasoline power. Gasoline power will eventually be replaced with something, hopefully before it’s too late to change its effect on global warming. While hybrid cars represent an “alternative” or a means to find a replacement, they do represent a viable solution.

How To Save Gas Money By Running Your Car or Truck On Water This Article looks at the claims of running your car on 100% water and tells you if it’s really possible or not. When you look closely at such 100% water driven technology, one ends up spending even more than using the usual fuel for powering vehicles. So, the method I recommend for powering your car with water that will save you cost of fuel is to make your own low-cost hybrid car that will run on water and gas, thereby saving you huge costs you would have spent using only gas. In other words - Hydrogen-On-Demand system where you run your car on Hydrogen WHEN you need it! Note that I am not saying you should build a car from scratch that will run on water. Not at all. This instead is about constructing simple devices that will enable your car to run on water as well as gas. You don’t have to alter your car make-up or get a new car. The technology can work with almost any car or truck. In simple words, this technology involves putting together home-made devices that use a little electricity out of your car’s battery to separate water into a gas called HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also known as Hydrogen*Oxygen�,,� or Hydroxy, burns beautifully and by so doing provides TONS of energy. And the most remarkable beauty is that this pound for pound HHO gas is even much more potent than gasoline. In fact 3 times more potent than gasoline. By using such cars you effectively save money that would have been spent on fuel for your car. It is estimated that this could save you as much as $897.40 per year. If you are two, three or four drivers in the family, this yearly savings increases dramatically. And what if you have a fleet of 50 drivers in your company? Then your yearly savings will multiply to $44,870. First things first… this isn’t about running your car on 100% water. Of course there are information available about running your car on 100% water but I don’t recommend them because they are not only complicated but seriously expensive and completely unpredictable.

Water As Fuel For Cars - How To Make Water Fueled Car At Your Home?
by Dr.Eswararamanan VR
The concept of running water as fuel for cars has been something scientists and researchers have been attempting for quite some time. With the high fuel prices as well as the pollution being an ever-increasing concern, the idea of water grows in the minds of these scientists and researchers. As the process continues for them to successfully create fuel from water the exhausting fact that it just isn’t working has them somewhat baffled.
Although many experts claim that water can in fact be used there are those skeptics who believe it is impossible. However, in all fairness water does in fact contain hydrogen and hydrogen of course is a form of gas.
One researcher successfully used water in a Bunsen burner for many days on one glass of water. Although actually using water in an engine has not produced results that will actually turn an engine over to the point that it will run totally on plain water.
Unfortunately the water when heated up evaporates too quickly and therefore the small amount of gas it produces has not been able to be harnessed or contained long enough to allow any type of major testing on engine operation. Although researchers do know that water does contain oxygen and that a certain amount of energy does essentially exist in the water it just isn’t enough to do anything as of yet.
In all fairness though, the researchers have made more progress over the past few years on their endeavors to create some type of fuel system that is one hundred percent water than they have made progress in the past. As the need for the alternative to other fuels continues to be an important issue the researchers and scientists refuse to give up on the concept that the hydrogen in water could make cars run and travel distances.
While many different tests have essentially been done on various methods that pertain to water and the use of water the results that have been documented do not provide a substantial amount of proof that water is useful for fuel. In addition, those researchers who have this theory have been working on this type of testing and will continue to work on this project until they do see some type of results that can ultimately be documented and have a solid foundation for the research efforts so far.
There has been some controversy about the subject of water being a fuel however the controversy is obviously been resolved because research continues with the water. Which means one thing there are those researchers who obviously believe that water and the hydrogen essentially in the water can be formulated into some type of fuel for the cars of the next generation. Or for the cars that will be a part of the future.
For more information you can go to several different web sites via the Internet that offer details about different types of research being done that ultimately includes the testing of water and its attempts to be formulated into fuel for the cars and trucks of tomorrow.
