Keen Demand for DIY Hydrogen Kits for Cars  
by James Larkin

 

There’s a global boom going on in the motor vehicle field as increasing numbers of motorists convert their vehicles with hydrogen car kits.The system is often referred to as “running your car on water”.

It uses water to produce HHO (also known as Hydroxy or Brown Gas). It provides greatly increased fuel consumption, more power and improved performance. The end product is water so there is clear emission.

The kit works on gas or diesel powered cars, vans, trucks and SUVs. The conversion is safe, fast and easy to do. All that is needed is a conversion manual. The parts for the kit can be easily purchased for less than $100 at local hardware and auto stories.

The HHO system is easily reversible and does not void auto manufacturers’ warranties.

With new car sales currently at a low it is likely even more current vehicle owners will take advantage of the savings offered by the hydrogen conversion kit.

The new hydrogen powered cars produced by auto manufacturers are expensive. Critics says they are possibly dangerous because they store hydrogen in high pressure tanks. There is also the problem of getting hydrogen supplies at service stations and the possible polluting effects of manufacturing hydrogen.

The hydrogen car kits however provide hydrogen as the car needs it, rather than in storage tanks. The combustible gas is safe because it is extracted as needed and burned steadily from the water, unlike larger volumes of pure hydrogen which are highly flammable.

I’ve seen some service station operators offering to do the conversion for $1000 which I think is a bit steep when you consider you can do it yourself for less than $100, plus the cost of the instruction manual.

The instructions manuals can cost hundreds of dollars but I’ve been shopping around.

The very best deal I’ve seen for a Hydrogen Car Kit instruction manual is a special sales price of only $67 which has got be the cheapest on the Net.

Believe it or not it comes in 24 languages, with a money back guarantee and various very useful extras. The company even provides tax forms for you to claim government rebate for running a green car.

But it’s not just the cool instruction manual price. Also their system is more powerful than most and they provide good long term back-up support.

I believe this whole current conversion scene is all part of global automotive history. It’s ironic that while giant car companies are almost collapsing because they have done little to keep pace with the times, ordinary people using a few dollars and some initiative are leaving them standing. So if you want to save like 50 per cent on fuel costs, boost your vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and help prevent global warming get a kit.

There is also another possibility. You could start a full or part-time business doing hydrogen car kit conversions yourself. I think the company concerned would probably be supportive of that.

Something to think about in these hard economic times. You would save heaps on your own fuel costs and make money installing the kits for other people.

Honda Hit Hard By Global Economic Downturn :New honda new cars 2009

Honda Hit Hard By Global Economic Downturn  
by Shaun Parker

 

That pesky recession! Who does it think it is, coming over here, taking our jobs, hitting everyone in the pocket, grabbing all the headlines, making the lives of us Brits a misery? The best way for Britain to cope with the dire straits that is the recession, is to put on a brave face. Britain may not be the best in the world at many things these days, but one thing we are good at is having a laugh in the face of adversity.The latest news that one of the world’s largest car manufacturers, Honda, are to stop production at their British factory in Swindon for the next four months, affecting 75 per cent of Honda’s 4,000 strong British factory workforce.

Honda’s global third quarter net profit has dropped by a staggering 89 per cent, and even though Business Secretary Lord Mandelson announced a government support package for the UK car industry which could be up to 2.3 billion pounds, the Japanese car giant has had to go ahead with the longest factory shutdown in recent history.

Many car manufacturers have had to make cut-backs in production simply because demand for brand new cars during these difficult financial times is way below levels of supply - Honda dealers have not experienced such a slowdown in turnover that something just had to give and it makes perfect business sense to cut production, sit back and reflect on how the next quarter pans out.

Despite Honda stating that they jobs are safe, it is common knowledge that over a quarter of factory staff have taken up voluntary redundancy, perhaps as they see no end to the gloom and doom in the near future.

Fears that the halt in production in Swindon may continue past the next four months have been dispelled, or at least there lies some hope, as Honda are going ahead with part orders - a measure that they surely would not take if they felt that production would continue to stop for an even longer time period.

Honda usually produce 240,000 cars from their Swindon factory, but that figure will halve over the course of the next year and elsewhere, global production will be slashed by 56,000 units. Honda is yet to announce whether employees from their other business sectors and departments in the U, such as Honda dealers and administration staff will be affected during the next year, which finance experts are saying will continue in recession, possibly through to 2010.

Honda dealers have obviously experienced a slowdown in business, both in the sale of brand new vehicles - the bread and butter, where the highest margins are made - and also used cars from Honda dealers.

Figures are set to continue to decrease for the duration of 2009 as Honda economists have forecast a net profit for the year to March 2009 to be less than half of its earlier forecast of 185 billion yen. The company’s net profit for the quarter ending December 2008 was 180 billion yen below the mark reached during the same quarter the previous year - a staggering example of just how badly affected the car industry has been since the global economy took a nosedive.

The Swindon factory workforce will obviously be concerned, but will no doubt be putting on a brave face, in true British fashion. Let’s hope, like the global economy, their fortunes can change over the next year.

Alternative Fuel For Cars? : New honda 2009

Alternative Fuel For Cars?  
by Clara Nolt

 

With the cost of rising gas prices to run your cars, is it any wonder that people are looking for alternative fuel for cars? Let’s have a look at some alternative methods of powering your cars along with the pros and cons.

 

Newer cars are coming out that get better fuel mileage than the older models. Also, there are all sorts of fuel additives that are able to increase your cars mpg.

In the first place, why do we cling to gasoline as our fuel source? Many other sources have materialized that can give power to a vehicle. There are technical as well as economical agents involved. There are certain citizens that have an invested interest in keeping gasoline as our main source of fuel who will want to make sure that it stays that way.

There are certain types of alcohols that can be applied as an alternative fuel for cars that have already been used in the past century to power cars. The electrical energy is stored in the shape of batteries.

Hybrid cars have been built to use electrical energy from both gasoline and battery storage. These cars run by battery, kicking the fuel engine in only when needed. The gas engine doesn’t usually kick in unless you are accelerating at a high speed or if you are going up a hill. This causes these cars to get much better miles per gallon of fuel.

One possibility would be hydrogen, which is much cleaner for the environment, but at the present time it takes up too much space which causes a problem with storage during transport.

There is also a water system being sold today that can be attached to your cars fuel system.There has been reportings of up to a 30% increase, and even a little more, of fuel efficiency. This is really good for many people who are concerned about getting high fuel efficiency, however it is highly recommended to check with a professional to see if your cars warranty will still be honored if this system is added to your vehicle.

You can also find other potential alternative fuel sources as well.

Even though gasoline fuel is not friendly for the environment,it does have a few friendly facets in regards to it. For a little bit of fuel it produces lots of zip! All of the alternatives each have their own effects in terms of how viable they are, both economically as well as environmentally.

For example, a fuel called ethanol, is produced from sugar cane or corn crops and is an inebriant that can be blended with gasoline up to a ratio of approximately 85% ethanol to 15% gasoline. A great deal of land is required to produce sufficient amounts of ethanol. It takes about 1 gallon of ethanol to give about 2/3 of the energy of 1 gallon of gasoline. When ignited it still creates a substantial amount of carbon dioxide, therefore it is not hugely environmentally friendly.

Another potential answer for an alternative fuel for cars in the future are batteries that store solar energy, but technology is not enough advanced at this point to provide adequate energy to run a vehicle as compared to cars running on gasoline.

Another potential solution would be atomic energy. But this, as well, has has various possible cons such as the yield of nuclear waste. The current use of nuclear power would increase by approximately nine times.

So, even though we would all be happy to get free from gas as our primary source of power to energize our cars and to have an alternative fuel for cars there are economic as well as technical matters which need to be mastered before this can be accomplished to our satisfaction in order to resolve our optional power sources.

Saving Gas With Hydrogen Powered Cars  
by Alaxander Schmoe

If you take a good look at the current hydrogen powered vehicles on the market, the cost of running them can be very close to that of running a gasoline powered car. This is why more and more Americans are trying out creating their own hybrid vehicles using water and gas. The car is powered by both gasoline and hydrogen systems, thus giving you efficiency and saving money at the pump!

This concept does not involve building an engine from the ground up. It is about installing a simple device to fuel your car using hydrogen technology in addition to gas. This is much cheaper than running out and buying a hybrid car. You can install water for gas system on any type of vehicle.

In other words, the hydrogen powered system involves using the electricity from the car battery to split water from H20 to HHO. The HHO burns much more efficiently. It has been reported in different tests that HHO can burn up to three times better than gasoline in many cases.

Therefore, when you drive hybrid cars you are saving money that you would have spent at the pump on gasoline. Simply by changing over to a hydrogen hybrid you can save close to $1000 a year. The amount saved multiplies when you have more vehicles and drivers in your home. If you run a business that depends on gasoline and transportation, you can see that the amount saved would be tremendous!

If you’re interested in saving money you should check out converting your car to a hydrogen hybrid. You would undoubtedly save gas, make your car more efficient, and save money. At the end of the day we all want to save money right? Gas prices can be tolerated if you are smarter about your fuel decisions and using water for gas may be something you can’t afford not to check out.

Honda to Increase Presence in Indian Auto Market : New Honda New Car review 2008
by Anthony Fontanelle
The Asian continent is fast becoming a huge market for automobiles. While some European markets seem to be slowing down and the U.S. auto sales is hampered by housing problems, Asian countries are increasingly becoming a favorite of car manufacturers. In fact, China and Japan are only next to the United States in terms of auto sales.Aside from these two countries, another Asian country is fast becoming a hub for car manufacturers. India is now the fourth biggest car market in the Asian continent and car companies are taking notice. Not so long ago, General Motors announced their interest in the growing auto market of the country. Aside from General Motors, the alliance of Nissan and Renault has already started testing the Indian auto market. Following their steps towards the high ranks is the second largest Japanese car manufacturer Honda.The company announced that they will be manufacturing and selling compact cars in the region by the year 2009. The company’s decision to market smaller cars in the country is due to the fact that the three-quarters of all the cars sold in India are compact cars. General Motors, Volkswagen, Nissan, and Renault have also announced that they will be manufacturing small cars for the country. Honda’s small cars to be sold in India will be built on a plant to be constructed in Rajasthan. The company reported that they expect to spend $728 million in the construction of the new assembly facility.Honda’s announcement to enter the small car market in India is fueled by the prediction that the country’s demand for small cars will continue to increase in the near future. It has been estimated that by the year 2016, annual car sales in India will reach 3 million units. This predicted car sales will be divided by car manufacturers such as Suzuki and Hyundai, both of which have an already established buyer base in the country, as well as other brands like Nissan, Renault, General Motors, Volkswagen, Honda and other domestic and international brands who are willing to invest in India.Although it is speculated that Honda will be manufacturing small cars, the Japanese car company is yet to name what model they will be producing at the Rajasthan production plant. Upon completion, the assembly facility will be expected to produce 60,000 vehicles annually. By the year 2014, Honda plans to expand the facility and increase its production capacity to 200,000 per year. The facility will handle all the processes handled by a full time automobile assembly plant. Although Honda is yet to announce the full scale of jobs to be handled by the facility it is expected that the brake assembly for vehicles will be one of the tasks of the plant.To meet the expected production output, the new plant will be employing 4,000 workers. This means that Honda will not only benefit from the growing market in India but they will also be helping the country’s economy.

Water Fuel Convertion : New hybrid cars 2009 new honda

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.

Trying to Sort Out the Confusing Names and Product Lines of Hyundai & Honda : New honda new car 2008

Trying to Sort Out the Confusing Names and Product Lines of Hyundai & Honda
by Terry Bolton
Once thought of as an italic logo rip-off company of Honda, Hyundai is now beginning to establish its own reputation as a quality car company. Using the image of Honda as the provider of the most reliable vehicles, Hyundai has since styled its own reputation for reliability. Hyundai has become a serious competitor in the American car marketplace. In recent years, Hyundai has even begun appearing with Honda in the top ranks of customer satisfaction surveys. Hyundai & Honda seem to be forever intertwined in similarity since Hyundai struck the American marketplace. How has Hyundai done it?Constant Investment in the FutureFrom the beginning, Hyundai has had a large budget for innovation and improvement in their products. They find out what customers and non-customers find most dissatisfying about their cars and make planning decisions to attempt to fix their designs so that all of those people will be potential customers in the future.2006 Hyundai & Honda: The First Real Quality ChallengeIn 2006, Hyundai first showed itself to be more than a cheap car rip-off of the Honda brand. The release of the 2006 Hyundai Tiburon to compete with the 2006 Honda Civic sent shocks through the imported automobile industry. The 2006 Hyundai Tiburon cost about $4,000 less than the 2006 Honda Civic, even though the Hyundai Tiburon came standard with more features than the Honda Civic. Additionally, the Hyundai Tiburon had tinted glass, heated exterior mirrors, and performed at 2 MPG better than the Civic.2007 Hyundai & Honda: Small Car ShowdownIn 2007, Hyundai made waves by filling its Elantra full of features at less money than the Civic with only the most basic features. Such features as radio controls in the steering wheel, built-in Bluetooth connectivity, and XM satellite radio options were built into the Elantra. Even more impressive was the way Hyundai & Honda differed in warranty. Hyundai showed so much confidence in its Elantras to provide a five-year, 60,000 mile warranty, while the Civic only had a basic three-year, 36,000 mile warranty. Many also reported increased satisfaction with the new seating comfort and space for back-seat passengers.4) 2006 Hyundai Tiburon GS vs 2006 Honda Civic Si 6-Spd MTOne of the first glaring differences between the 2006 Hyundai Tiburon and the 2006 Honda Civic is the price tag, where the Tiburon costs about $4,000 less at $16,095. Both vehicles offer access to a standard CD player, yet consumers have the option to also enjoy a cassette player in the Hyundai. While halogen headlights come standard on both cars, the Hyundai provides standard fog lights while Honda only offers this as an extra option. Other features of the Hyundai Tiburon that have impressed buyers include heated exterior mirrors, tinted glass, and 24 MPG (compared to 22 MPG with the Honda).Overall, Hyundai has made great strides in regards to their overall features, interior, and beyond - making it a viable competitor in the car industry. This has caused automobile leaders (like Honda) to break a sweat.

Have a Peace of Mind While Driving with Honda Mirrors
by Anthony Fontanelle
Did you know that during the early years of automobile history, drivers used arm gestures to inform others of their intention to turn or change lanes? Quite burdensome, isn’t it? During that period, cars were equipped with only the basic parts such as the engine, seats, steering wheels, transmission, and the exhaust system. Without safety devices installed in vehicles, road accidents had increased at an alarming rate. This made the creation of safety devices necessary. Fortunately, modern cars are relatively safer than those created centuries ago. Today, all vehicles including Honda are equipped with standard auto parts such as Honda mirrors that promote safe driving.Your car’s mirrors make you aware of what’s happening around your vehicle while you are driving or parking. A Honda mirror is mounted on each side of your vehicle and another one is hanging just above your dashboard. Side mirrors assist you when you’re making a turn or changing lane. Each side mirror can be adjusted by manually rotating its handle found inside your car. But the latest mirrors in Honda vehicles can now be adjusted by simply pushing a button. On the other hand, the rearview mirror helps you see the area at the back of your car so that you can safely reverse or maneuver backwards. Like the side mirror, the rearview mirror can be adjusted to the correct angle.Honda’s innovative mirrors reinforce the safety provided by these Japanese-manufactured cars. Among the Honda mirror (discounthonparts.com/honda-mirror) innovations are replacement outside mirrors, wide angle mirrors, and self-dimming rearview mirrors. You can find all these mirror types when you browse our online catalog. Our site even offers these mirrors at discounted prices without compromising their quality. And because we’re online, shopping for car mirrors is just one click away. So don’t waste your time—get a Honda mirror now.
