Water 4 Gas: an Old Technology  
by Mark Spalding

 

Let’s face it, affording every day expenses are fast becoming a burdensome task. Fuel prices have made every facet of our lives more expensive.

 

People are starting to think outside the box and even experimenting with things like water4gas and the infamous water car.

What, a car that runs on water? Whatever! Now you’ve heard it all, right?

I checked into this claim, when I received a targeted email from a company, or rather research group. THey were building and testing small units that turn water into a gas that could be burned along with your regular fuel, to increase gas mileage and engine efficiency.

I read their case studies and realized that it actually could be done.

I was always interested in the idea of using hydrogen for fuel instead of gas. But there were problems and danger associated with storing hydrogen in tanks under pressure in a vehicle. Have you ever heard of Hydrogen Bombs?

But these people weren’t making hydrogen and storing it, but using HHO or Browns gas, which some people call it, to burn along with their fuel to significantly increase gas mileage. The water car that they are using is actually a hydrogen on demand hybrid.

Water4gas technology uses this Browns Gas or HHO(2 parts hydrogen to 1 part oxygen) to produce a safe and constant supply of gas to make their engines more efficient, and use less gas in the process.

The emission from the browns gas after burning is water. Your emissions are cleaner and better for the environment.

Hydrogen generators are being built by these back yard mechanics and being installed, to produce claims of 30-60% increases in MPG or more. One man was using a 99 Toyota Corolla and had experienced 62 MPG using water4gas technology. His water car, or hybrid was just one example that was illustrated on the website.

It appears that his technology has been around for awhile. Fuel prices have caused this water4gas technology to be resurrected, with everyday people experiencing great success.

Cheap parts using everyday items are used to build these hydrogen-on-demand systems and are easily installed on your car or truck. Pre-built units are available for people that aren’t mechanically inclined.

There are increasing numbers of people that have started new businesses that utilize the water4gas technology. These people build the units and install them for people that want their own water car, or water hybrid.

So there you have it, an old technology in a new time. What do you have to lose by at least checking out the possibility of turning your gas hog into a fuel saving hybrid. THis is perfect for people who want to decrease their carbon footprint.

How To Make Your Own Hybrid Car  
by Erwin Chua, MCP MCDST

 

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.

HHO Conversion Kit - Create Brown’s Gas to Run Your Car on Water  
by Myla Madson

 

Is it possible to run your car on water? To actually build a homemade device that can safely separate water molecules into their core components and make a burnable fuel known as HHO, or Brown’s Gas to power your car with water?

 

Technically speaking, you are turning your car into a water burning hybrid where you still use standard gasoline or diesel fuel. Although you do not have to modify your car’s engine or computer, the conversion kit is a powerful addition to your vehicle.

Your on-demand hydrogen generator can be built for under $65 and with parts found locally. The technology is proven safe and effective and many people are getting amazing gas mileage increases.

25-35% seems to be the increases most people get on their first attempts at building their own hydrogen generators…which is nothing to sneeze at. You can increase this by using modulating current, bypassing the oxygen sensor, installing a fuel heater, etc.

There is a lot you can do yourself to increase your gas mileage despite the efforts the auto-makers and the tax hungry government have gone to to prevent it.

I can’t afford a new hybrid vehicle and I’m certainly not looking forward to the development of hydrogen fuel cells that basically pack explosive hydrogen gas in tanks under thousands of pounds of pressure and put a seat on top of it. No thanks!

But I can afford the few dollars it takes to build a hydrogen generator and feel good that I’m making a difference in my life and that of my kids. More money in my pocket because of lower gas bills means more food in my children’s tummies.

The improved gas mileage is great but the improved engine performance and documented extension of my car’s engine life is an added bonus, not to mention the emissions are better for the environment.

There has been a lot of negative press on the hydroge generator and water for gas concept. It is ashmae because thousands of people have been using this technology to increase gas mileage since the early seventies.

These critics are financially driven and have no clue what they are talking about. I wish gas prices had not gone through the roof so these vultues wood not have come out of the woodwork to scare people away from this proven technology.

Do the research. Check out what people are saying on line and then make your own call. Don’t listen to the critics until you have heard the whole story. And please do check out those who say this does not work only to turn around and offer you a solution that they say “actually works”, with a price attached to it of course!

I’m so glad I heard about this concept and built my own hydrogen generator before people started to bash it or I may never have believed it would work and would not be experiencing the incredible savings I see at the pump each and everytime I fill my tank with that liqid gold…gasoline.

Hydrogen For Cars  
by wordpressblogforlife

 

Hydrogen for cars ? What do you think of when you see the term “hydro powered car?” Do you imagine a car that uses water instead of petrol as fuel? You should think of a hydro powered car and think of something slightly different, a cross between all hydrogen for cars and one that somehow uses water as fuel. These types of car famously call as a car that runs on water.

 

The idea of using water or hydrogen for cars directly as fuel is still in children science fiction. On the face of it, the idea seems ridiculous. Yet today you can buy hydro powered car kits that use the hydrogen as fuel (to supplement the petrol) in standard automobiles, resulting in much higher mileage.

Hydrogen For Cars

What the relation between hydrogen and water? You should understand this before read all the entire article. Hydrogen is one component in molecule of water. Molecule of water is H2O. H is for hydrogen and O for oxygen. That’s why this hydrogen for cars is said to use water as fuel.

Why Should You Care?

This kind of hydrogen for cars definitely isn’t the futuristic all-hydrogen automobile you may have heard about, or the apparently mysterious vehicle that runs on just tap water that we would all love to have. So why should you mind about this kind of hydrogen-petrol hydro powered car? There are lots of good reasons:

If you’ve buy petrol lately, you know that the price is high and become highest in this year. Hydrogen for cars can get much higher mileage than an all-petrol car, which means big reserves on gas.

Petrol comes with lots of baggage. The West’s dependence on overseas oil makes it reliant on countries like Iraq and Iran. Anything that reduces Western addiction on their oil reduces the risks. That’s why hydrogen for cars concept is important to American.

The sad information is that Americans did not enough information about hydrogen for cars concept. Most basically don’t live in place where another option of fuels is readily available. Don’t forget toxic waste. Burning petrol for fuel pollutes the air. Hydrogen for cars concept gets better mileage and so reduces that effluence.

How Does This Kind of Hydrogen for Cars Work?

How can water, the same material that comes from your kitchen tap, be used to fuel your automobile engine? The key is hydrogen. What is water when you go down to the molecular structure? Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Get the hydrogen out of the water and mix it with your car’s petrol and voila! Hydrogen for cars concept have been established

Hydrogen for cars that use hydrogen is a highly advantageous resource of fuel because it delivers lots of power and burns with almost no pollutants. But hydrogen for cars concept that run solely on hydrogen aren’t geared up yet and won’t be realistic for a while. Using hydrogen as a supplemental fuel like use in hydrogen for cars concept is a safe and sound and efficient alternative that’s offered right now.

Hydrogen for cars kits available today use electricity to exchange regular water into hydrogen and oxygen in your car as needed. The hydrogen is instantaneously mixed with the car’s petrol and burned, delivering superior fuel effectiveness and cleaner exhaust. It is an ultimate answer for today’s world, and thousands of communities around the world have purchased these kits to adapt their own vehicle into hydrogen for cars concept.

They laughed when I said One Day Cars Would Run On Water  
by Michael Arcand

Many years ago I remarked to my friends during one of our chatting sessions- “One day cars will run on water”. I can still remember how they all laughed at me as if I was crazy. Among them was someone who knew so much about the mechanics of a car and how it works. He was the one that laughed the loudest and took time to explain to us, especially me, how it wasn’t possible for cars to EVER run on water, even 30% water.
I wish I could see his face right now while demonstrating the water car technology to him. For the rest of my friends who were there that day that I still contact, they are so filled with shame for ever laughing at me that day.
If you know anyone that has also doubted the workability of the water car technology, tell them that not only is it now workable but anyone can make it work from the comfort of their home.
That’s right. The water car technology can be made workable by just about anyone, who has access to the right information and the right devices needed.
How exactly this water car technology works?
This water car technology is the use of simple technology of putting together of 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.
To get started, learn more about how this works and how you too can do it yourself on your car. With the power of the Internet you can find this information for free. When you arm yourself with this information you will be amazed at how easy it can be to make this water car technology work for you.

Can You Really Use WATER for GAS?

Can You Really Use WATER for GAS?
by Derek Wray

With gas prices well over $4.00 a gallon and predicted to go over $6.00 a gallon, it was only a matter of time before people started searching for ways to increase their gas mileage.
As I was researching ways to increase gas mileage, I learned about a relatively unknown way to significantly increase any car’s gas mileage by using water to supplement the fuel with hydrogen for a better fuel burn.
However, the idea of running your car on water sounded absurd so I was skeptical about this “simple technology”
These are just some of the claims made:
Water fuel will enable your vehicle to become at least 40% more fuel efficient. Water fuel will boost performance while producing cleaner emissions. You can receive IRS refunds owed to you by law for using green technology in your vehicle! 100% safe/legal - guaranteed! Works with plain tap water Enjoy incredible fuel savings.
Could this be real or just another internet scam…
This is what I discovered.
Will running your car on water really work? Well, not exactly. Your car will still use gas as it’s primary source of combustion. You will be supplementing that fuel with hydrogen. What you are going to be doing with Water Fuel technology is creating an extremely cost-effective hydrogen powered hybrid (Water Hybrid) by taking advantage of the atomic constituents of water molecules, hydrogen and oxygen (H2O).
The conversion to a water hybrid uses inexpensive parts that you can find at any local hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowes. When setup, a small amount of power is used from your car’s battery to seperate the water molecules into HHO gas. This gas is then fed into the intake of your vehicle creating a more efficient burn for your fuel. This is why you can achieve significant increases in gas mileage.
You generate free energy by ENHANCING the EFFICIENCY of your poorly designed engine!!! Your car engine currently uses 20% of the energy stored in that expensive fuel - and WASTES 80% for heat, pollution (unburned fuel!) and vibration.
HHO gas is very stable and burns incredibly well as a significant power source and the conversion really is simple to set up with the guides that are floating around the internet today, however many people have doubts such as:
Is this process safe?
Water fuel is safe for your car’s engine. Water Fuel (HHO gas) is supplemental to fuel and will actually create a cooler burn that causes less wear and tear on your car’s engine.
This technology works with all vehicles but it works best with?
Water fuel technology works with any kind of gasoline or diesel powered vehicle, however it is geared towards fuel economy, not minimizing power loss. For this reason, vehicles such as giant SUVs and trucks will not see as large of an increase in fuel economy as lighter, less demanding vehicles…
In conclusion, water fuel technology does work and can save 40% or more in fuel costs while significantly increasing your vehicles gas mileage. The technology is simple to install and will not adversly affect your engine nor does it void your warranty.

5 Major Advantages Of Running Your Car On Water  
by Onputtha

 

Soaring oil prices have made all of us think about alternatives to gasoline. Unfortunately, till date, the majority of vehicles run on either gas or diesel, both of which are now touching never before highs. With even the G-8 leaders agreeing that developing new technology is the only way of dealing with the world oil crisis, the common man is forced to think of options to make both ends meet. But the good news is that commoners like us have already developed technologies that bring down fuel consumption to extremely affordable limits.And no, we are not talking of high priced gas-electric hybrids offered by leading car manufacturers, but a small do-it-yourself kit that lets you run your car on water. The hybrid technology that uses an electrolyzer for converting water into HHO or hydroxy gas, where the hydrogen part is used to power the engine has been around for the past five years. Constantly rising oil prices have put these machines into the limelight as a serious alternative to other high priced or energy deficient hybrid cars. So before you think of looking at other hybrid technologies, have a look at some of the major advantages of running cars on water:

1. You Save On Fuel Consumption: When you use hybrid technology that combines water and gasoline to run your car, you end up reducing your consumption of gasoline by at least 25% to 40%. This directly translates into major savings on your annual gasoline bills and you no longer have to keep monitoring the odometer every time you take your car out.

2. You Get To Utilize The Cheapest Hybrid Technology Available: Many gas-electric hybrid models from major car manufacturers like Honda and Toyota might give you the same MPG as a water-gas hybrid. But while regular hybrids cost almost 25% to 40% more than regular gas models of the same cars, a gas-water hybrid kit costs even less than $200.

3. Your Car’s Performance Gets Better: Hydrogen is a much more efficient fuel than gasoline, so while gasoline leaves carbon residues and other similar rubbish in your engine that bring down both the longevity and performance of your vehicle, running your car on hydrogen ensures that there is no residue to diminish the performance of your car’s engine.

4. You Save On Tax: Government at both the federal and state levels provide tax rebates to people using hybrids with low emission levels. Since your water run hybrid qualifies you for this, you can easily save hundreds of tax dollars every year. Apart from this, your state government might also give you special favors like providing you with free parking or the use of the carpool lane.

5. You Get To Do Your Own Bit For The Environment: When you run your car on water, you not only save on fuel consumption, your car produces lesser noise and air pollution than other normal vehicles, letting you drive around guiltlessly.

Finding High Gas Mileage Cars For Fuel Efficiency  
by Dean Forster

 

If it seems that you keep pumping gas into your car, it may be time to find something that is more fuel efficient while providing you with the best ride to other places. Finding high gas mileage cars is your first step towards adding into fuel efficiency and can provide you with an alternative for being on the road. Knowing what to look for with the characteristics of the cars and finding those that are rated at the top will allow you to get a better turn on the road you are on.One of the easiest ways to find high gas mileage cars is to check in with those who are monitoring and rating the makes and models of each car. This is done by the environmental protection agency, also known as the EPA, and includes a complete list of the cars makes and models, the years they come out, how many miles per gallon they get and whether they will be fuel efficient or not. If you want to go off of a complete list, this is the best place to start in order to get the correct knowledge.

Other knowledge bases that will carry the same type of information are found through ratings with options such as the ten most efficient cars that are on the market. When you read these, you should keep in mind that the ratings are often based off of personal comparisons or experience. You will also want to note that these ratings do not add in additional types of cars, such as hybrid vehicles or alternative vehicles that may be able to provide more to the economy.

Another way to look into the best mileage cars is to look into the way that the cars are built. The first characteristic within this will be the number of cylinders that are in the car. For smaller cars, finding something with a 3 or 4 cylinders will most likely be more efficient in the gas mileage that it is able to use. For larger cars, a six cylinder car will be more effective in allowing you to drive in the right way because of the way that it is built around this specific feature.

The characteristics with the build will also be effected by the way that the car switches into the different gears. Many will say that having a manual or automatic car will sometimes switch whether the car is more fuel efficient or not. This is because the manual cars will have more control of when you switch, allowing for some fuel to be saved when you are switching from the different gears. Keeping in mind the characteristics that you can add in order to keep your car fuel efficient is another way to allow your wheels to save you money while driving.

Knowing your options is always the first turn of the key towards igniting the right vehicle and will allow you the capacity to stay on the road with your options. Finding high gas mileage cars is your first step towards investigating the right vehicles and knowing what will work the best in order to save from the rises in fuel and the need to continue to drive forward.

How Do Hydrogen Fuel Systems Work :New car Hydrogen Fuel review 2009

How Do Hydrogen Fuel Systems Work
by Daniel Millions

Alternative sources of fuel are of interest not only to high class research firms but also to the average consumer. Rising gas prices have forced everyone, save the extravagantly rich, to make sacrifices and find new ways to power their vehicles. The widespread desire to save on gas has led to the increased purchasing of hybrid and electric cars.
For those that do not have the ability to switch vehicles, improving current transportation’s efficiency is the only option left. To date, the most effective way to drastically increase gas mileage is to install a hydrogen fuel system, which employs only water to function.
Hydrogen is created through the electrolysis of water. Electricity is taken from the car battery and used as the catalyst to stimulate electrolysis. The hydrogen created burns much more cleanly than regular fuel and increases the efficiency of gasoline. Only about twenty percent of the energy released by burning gas goes in to moving a vehicle; the other eighty percent is lost to heat and other energy forms. A water system enables the engine to harness more usable power. When people think of alternative fuels, gasoline is never on the list. However, if the fuel could be made to work at nearly one hundred percent efficiency, there would be no oil crisis.
The benefits of installing a hydrogen fuel system in to your vehicle are numerous and significant. Improved gas mileage is the first and most obvious advantage. Helping the environment is vital as well, as a destroyed ecosystem is harmful to everything, including humans. Your engine will last a lot longer, as water is consistently rejuvenating to it. Minuscule amounts of water need to be used; in fact, you can use the same liter of water for months, as water contains thousands of times more energy than oil. Finally, one will notice a considerable decrease in noise and an increase in driving smoothness, which are signs of how excellent the water system really is.
Initial costs for constructing and installing a system vary, depending on whether you purchase a conversion kit and/or pay a mechanic to perform the installation for you. At the lowest level, conversions can run as low as one hundred and fifty dollars. Of course, the fuel for the system, water, does not cost any money at all. Installation is safe and does not void a vehicle’s warranty, and a water fuel system can be removed at any time for any reason. One usually saves more than they spent after only a few months of water fuel utilization.
Like with any innovation, there are critics of using water for fuel. Some say that the process violates the laws of physics; that because energy in equals energy out, there is no way consuming water could yield any positive results. Recall that the ultimate purpose of a water system is to increase the efficiency of gasoline. Water cannot be used for fuel alone; it needs to be paired with gasoline.
In any case, it is clear that hydrogen fuel systems are effective, as hundreds of thousands of people have already invested in conversion kits. In fact, it is predicted that within the next decade, a majority of vehicles will come standard with some kind of water fuel system, thus easing many countries dependence on oil.

Honda Hydrogen Car - A Step in the Right Direction
by Michael Cooper
In November of 2007, Honda announced its next generation eco-friendly vehicle, the Honda FCX Clarity. Unlike many of the other eco-friendly cars such as hybrids and other hydrogen cars, the FCX Clarity hydrogen car uses what is called a fuel cell. A fuel cell is a device that creates electricity from the fuel, in this case hydrogen. The Honda V Flow fuel cell is a revolutionary breakthrough that generates enough electricity to power a real world car. The fuel cell combines hydrogen from the fuel tank with oxygen in the air to produce two things: electricity and water. That is correct; water is the only byproduct of the Honda FCX Clarity! This amazing system allows the Honda FCX Clarity to be ranked as what is known as a ZEV (Zero Emissions Vehicle). It has absolutely no harmful emissions of any sort. The wheels are driven by a quiet, compact electric motor that draws power from the fuel cell and from the lithium-ion (Lion) battery that like a gas hybrid is also charged when braking and driving downhill. Comparative Gas Mileage There is no direct way to compare gas mileage as hydrogen is a compressed gas and is measured in kilograms of fuel weight. The tank holds 4.1kg of fuel (about 9 pounds) which is enough to give the car a range of 280 miles. Miles per gallon is calculated using the GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) which determines the comparative energy used to move the car. Miles Per Gallon (GGE) - City: 79 - Highway: 68 - Combined: 74 Miles Per Kilogram - City: 77 - Highway: 67 - Combined: 72 Yes, you read that correctly; Miles per Kilogram. Since the fuel storage is measured in kilograms MPK will be an increasingly common method of measuring your mileage as hydrogen powered cars become more common. The Honda FCX Clarity drives just like any other Honda, with on exception, it has virtually no engine noise. With its super quiet engine it has ample pick-up and produces 134 horsepower, more than enough to move its light, aerodynamic frame around the road. The vehicle also sports a lot of Honda’s upcoming features and technology with a very advanced, yet comfortable and convenient interior. Honda plans to produce a limited of the 2008 FCX Clarity models and offer them on lease at $600/month. They are available in southern California in areas near pre-existing hydrogen refueling stations. Honda has also created a Hydrogen Dealer Network where the cars are to be sold and serviced.
