New Honda New car review 2008-2009

Hybrid cars are all the rage today. When you see that Toyota Prius gliding by on silent engines, you drool at its sleek, shiny look, the new upholstery and that new-car smell. This, and other hybrid cars, are the next wave of fuel-sipping cars of the future. How about if I tell you you can have your very own hybrid car, and its sitting in your garage. Right now.In the strictest terms, a hybrid vehicle is “a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to propel the vehicle.” For this purpose, the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) will be used as a comparison. HEV’s have an internal combustion engine and an electric motor in one chassis. This is what gives the HEV its phenomenal mileage gains.

HEV’s reduce fuel wastage by addressing the following situations:

-Lower energy lost during idling by turning off the gas engine

-Recharge the electric batteries while running the combustion engine, by regenerative braking, or both

-Making the combustion engine smaller in size and power, maximizing output of the gas engine and reducing weight and wastage of work (about 20% of engine power is used to directly move the wheels, the rest is lost to combustion, noise, or unburned fuel)

Needless to say, owning a hybrid car is expensive. Cutting edge technology and having bragging rights usually are.

If you don’t have the budget, 3rd party hybrid kits are also available to convert conventional cars to a hybrid system. However, like the above, the cost is still prohibitive. Might as well buy a hybrid car, why don’t you?

No, 3rd party hybrid kits are not what this article is about.

So what is the goal of having a hybrid car? It’s all about mileage, getting the most miles per gallon (MPG) or kilometers per liter (KPL). And if its mileage you need, you only need to look at the faucet. Water. Or in more better terms. Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Yes, hydrogen-on-demand systems are like hybrid systems, except a lot more value for your money. You don’t have to buy a new car for it. It will work just fine on the car you’ve been driving for the past five, ten, and twenty years.

And it will breathe new life in your car.

Hydrogen is surprisingly not a new technology. It has been around in the 19th century as a way to light gaslight, using “oxyhydrogen” to heat piece of limestone to illuminate the night.

Though usage of pure hydrogen is a few years away from being perfected, someone got the great idea to, why not just mix it with conventional gas or diesel? Eureka. A way to gain unimaginable mileage at a fraction of the cost of a hybrid car. This system is called hydrogen-on-demand (HOD).

An HOD system is a vehicle-mounted hydrogen and oxygen delivery method that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen through the process of electrolysis. The power is drawn from the batteries and the hydrogen-oxygen mix (HHO) is drawn into the engine for combustion. Naysayers say that this is an impossible process as it takes more energy to generate hydrogen to fully power a car engine.

But who said anything about running a car on pure hydrogen? Why not mix it with gas or diesel? Eureka once more. It only takes minute amounts of hydrogen to create a powerful combustion with gas or diesel.

The following effects are confirmed when hydrogen is introduced into an internal combustion engine and compressed:

-Water vapor comes out the exhaust as a result of HHO ignition

-Exhaust emissions smell less of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide as HHO burns the mixture more completely and requires less fossil fuel in every cycle.

-Mileage increases by 12%-70% depending on make, model, driver attitude, and supporting devices

-The engine releases more energy than ethanol-based mixes, maintaining the overall power of the car

-Fuel is burned more completely which gives cleaner emissions

-Fuel octane level are raised because hydrogen improves anti-knocking properties, making the engine quieter

-Lowers overall engine temperature

-Requires the engine to use less gas per cycle

Is it safe?

HOD systems generate hydrogen only on demand and are therefore safe. When no electricity is routed through the HOD system, no reaction is generated. No hydrogen is in storage in this system but is kept in medium, which is basically water.

Cost?

Parts are sourced from everyday parts found in hardware shops and basic electronics stores. Total cost for a basic unit can range between $70 to over $200 USD.

What’s offered by most HOD enterprises are plans for do-it-yourself systems, with offers to build the system for the consumer if they so wish. This way the customer can opt to build it himself or to buy a unit once the concept is understood after obtaining the plans to prevent fraud.
