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.

Saving Money On Gas - How To Drive More Efficiently
by Dean James
No matter what type of vehicle you are driving, you have probably felt the changes in the economy with rising prices of gas. For most that are trying to keep a full tank of gas, is also the problem with having an empty pocket of money because of the higher prices. If you have to drive your vehicle for the necessities, but don’t want to spend as much money, than you will want to find ways to start saving money on gas. This will allow you to continue to drive forward without spending the large amount of money.
The ways to save money on gas is to analyze everything about how you are driving and how much you are driving. This will provide you with a way to stop spending so much on gas in combination with finding ways to help the environment. Knowing exactly what to look at and what causes you to spend more money through your driving will allow you to find a way to change the way that you drive.
Before you start counting up your pennies in order to find out whether you have enough for another tank of gas, you will want to define whether you need to be spending money on gas, or whether it would be more effective to find another way to get around town. There are several alternatives for travel, from subways to bikes, all which will offer a fuel efficient way to drive. You can also consider changing lifestyle preferences, such as the small routes to the grocery store being substituted for things such as online ordering. The more trips you can save, the more likely you will be to save money on gas with your car.
Another option that you can look into with saving money on gas is to start treating your car differently so that you can find ways to get around town without having to spend a larger amount of money. Doing smaller things such as having less weight in your car, going the speed limit and inflating your tires can all help to save gas mileage and allow you to cut down on how much you are pumping into your car every week. With every smaller thing that you add in to the gas mileage is the ability to have the savings that you need in order to be more fuel efficient.
If you want to take a different route in order to start saving money is to look into a new investment. If you have an older car, you may want to consider getting something that is newer and will get more gallons of gas to the mile. Any of the newer makes and models of cars will have better gas mileage because of the builds that they have and the level of fuel efficiency that was tested before they were put onto the market. You can also look into options such as hybrid cars, which will combine electric power with gas, allowing you to get even more gallons to the mile and will provide you with a way to ride more efficiently.
Knowing your options for saving on gas will allow you to drive on the go without having to take money out of your wallet. If you are looking into saving money on gas, the options that are presented before you will allow you to have the ability to keep going and getting to your destined areas, without having to burn too much fuel and too much money at the same time.

Running a Car on Water
by Darrell Rondo
The idea of running a hybrid car is something that isn’t realistic to many Americans. Many feel they simply cannot afford to buy a hybrid or don’t want to be inconvenienced any further due to fuel prices. Some have turned to turning their cars into hybrids themselves, and this trend is growing.The first step you should take is checking out a guide written by a professional in this field. Some are written by amateurs or are unclear so do your due diligence. You then need to get the parts which will run you between $100 and $200. For such an inexpensive system you may wonder why many people haven’t converted to the hybrid “water for gas” system yet. For one, there is a lot of propaganda and skepticism floating around about this system which is diluting the facts.
Anyone that can follow instructions can turn their car into a water powered vehicle. It is that simple. You have to install system in your vehicle that will use electricity to split water into gas. It does this by forcing the H20 to separate into HHO (hydrogen gas). Using hydrogen gas and gasoline will cut down on the costs of running your vehicle. Your vehicle also emits less gas into the environment, and you can get a tax break for driving a hybrid.
Any type of automobile can be converted to the water for gas system. Again, you can do this yourself but if you want a mechanic could easily do this for you. In the event that you do not like the system, you can always remove it from your vehicle. There are no lasting effects from using hydrogen to power your vehicle. If you want to save on gas costs, get more miles per gallon, and help the environment, you should check out this system. It is cost effective, easy to implement, and a very low risk for something that can impact your costs on gasoline greatly.

Water for Gas: Should You Try it?
by Dale Arthur
You can save money at the pump in a various amount of ways. For one, you can buy a hybrid such a Honda Prius for $38,000. If that isn’t an attractive option don’t fret, there are still options for you.Besides, a lot of people don’t like the body style of hybrid cars. You could also drive less than usual. A lot of Americans are already doing this, cutting out summer trips and running errands less and less. If you work far from your home this may not be an option for you though as you have to get to work someway. Other options include walking, skateboarding, biking, or catching a bus.
However, would you consider making an inexpensive modification to your current car in order to save $100’s of dollars a year on gas? Well you can, using the water for gas system to turn your vehicle to a hydrogen hybrid. Here is why you should consider powering your car with water and gas:
· Increase your gas mileage two or three times · More efficient fuel performance · Better for the environment ��” less gas emission · Better on your engine · More bang for your buck · Tax deduction for driving a hybrid vehicle · Get more miles a gallon · Spend less money on gas!
It is not difficult at all to run your car on the water for gas system. You can find a lot of information on water for gas online; many people have been posting success with this system getting many more miles per gallon and saving hundreds of dollars a month.
The system is actually one that has been around for a while. Basically, electricity from the car battery is used to transform the water from H20 into the gas form HHO. The gas is then used in combination with gasoline to power the vehicle. There are several water for gas systems you can buy online. They can be installed easily in your home or with a mechanic’s help if you would like

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.

Is a Water4Gas fuel conversion “Enviromentally” superior to biofuels-YES
by R.Bill Williams
Is a Water4gas fuel conversion Enviromentally superior to biofuel- YES
Part 1
Electricity production emits greenhouse gasses therefore electric driven cars will indirectly continue to contribute to the greenhouse gasses problem.
Nuclear generated electricity is practically carbon free but what’s the end result of this type of production? The reality, exchanging carbon free air now for an expired nuclear reactor (life span 25-30 years ) which has to be decommissioned and cocooned away from the public for at least a hundred years - who is going to be around then to find out if a hundred years later it is actually safe. Also decommissioning costs can far exceed the construction cost of a nuclear facility adding billions to the cost of the electricity produced.
Hydrogen fuel cars, one of the major problems involved with this fuel is its distribution and storage because it is either liquid or pressurised. This system loses out to electric cars as all you require to keep an electric car running is an extension lead to charge up overnight ( when economy rates apply) but having said that you are then back to square one - having to produce more electricity.
Hybrid (electric and petroleum) cars, are on the road at present and there is some good press written about them; however very little is said about the dangers built into these cars.
Take the battery for starters (sorry!), most hybrid cars have new type batteries made of nickel and lithium.ion, both components are regarded as more enviromentally friendly than the traditional lead based type, which constitute the majority of car batteries today. Although nickel and lithium.ion batteries are accepted as less toxic than the traditional lead ones they are known carcinogens and can lead to an array of other health problems. Not a great deal of testing has
been done on the human body but possible side effects include xencephaly, everted viscera, short and twisted neck, short and twisted limbs, microphthalmia, haaemorage and reduced body size. ( Source:- Teratogenicity and Embryotoxicity of nickel cadmium in Syrian hamsters, William F. Sunderma. Univ. of Connecticut ).
A further overhanging problem for the hybrid car is in the manufacture of their advanced electric motors. The rare earth element dysposuim is required in their production, the problem is that nearly all this rare earth element comes from China and Chinese home consumption is expected to take up the whole supply by 2012. There are only two other known sites where this rare earth element can be found, in Canada and Australia, but whether production in these countries will
be sufficient and online by 2012 is questionable.
To sum up the above from the point of view of claiming to supplying environmentally friendly
fuels we have:-
a)..Nuclear..which admittedly is very near carbon free but the nuclear, potentially dangerous, footprint from each power station will be around for 100 years plus. (If any one of you has ever had the experience of living near a decommissioned nuclear facility as I have you will know this
is what is required.)
b)..Hydrogen..at the present time our technology is not sufficient to make this a safe viable option, and should therefore be ruled out.
c)..Hybrid..here we have serious problems with the supply of scarce materials for the production of vital components and also medical dangers which could result in serious deformities of the human body following the use of certain raw materials.
We already have the answer to our vehicles providing a much cleaner carbon free air via lower gas emissions,. at the same time saving money with much improved m.p.g. in the low-cost Water4Gas fuel conversion system. Full details, diagrams and technical data can be found at:-

Is Water & Gas Technology a Scam?
by James Jones
Are you interested to find out how your car can run on water? Some think it’s a scam, but it is possible these days. People all over the world are converting their vehicle with the water hybrid technology. This can be achieved when H2O is combusted with gas.
1. How Does A Car Run on Water?
You will need to have your car battery make electricity to electrolyze water in order to make this technology. By doing this, your car can extract a gas called oxyhydrogen or Brown Gas that’s able to make energy large enough to run your car. The end product of this process is oxygen and water.
2. Why Should You Run Your Car On Water?
With this water fuel technology, I saved more than half in fuel costs savings ever since I began using this system. The by products from burning water are also cleaner than burning gasoline, as burning gasoline would only produce dirty carbon emissions that damage our planet.
3. How Can You Build This System For Yourself?
Most people would choose to do it themselves as it is not as expensive, but you also have the option to purchase an expensive hydrogen gas car kit from the market.
If you decide to build this hybrid car system yourself, it should cost you less than 150 dollars, and you can do it from your own home. All you need are some parts and materials that can be bought at any hardware store and you may possibly even have some of them at home already.
It is understandable that some might think running their cars with water is a scam. However, it’s not! It’s better for the environment, and does not contribute to global warming as much as burning gasoline does. It also helps drivers save on ever-increasing gas costs, thus running a car with water seems like the natural choice if you own an automobile.

The Best Device To Save Gas - Save Money On Gas From Tomorrow
by Nicusor Valentin Prefac
Do you know that the economists predict that the gas price will double sometime next year? Are you able to pay more than 3. 5$ a gallon on gas? I think not .
All this gas consumption also damage the environment, because the gases destroy the quantity of Oxygen on the Earth. The researchers think that if people pollute in the same way as now, in almost 40 years the environment will suffer dangerous modifications, dangerous for us, for our kids, for our friends. But we can’t just give up to our needs to use the car right?You won’t have to, because someone created a device to save gas, and improve mileage. It’s time to stop polluting so much and use water, hydrogen as fuel for our cars.
The best device to save gas was created by an US resident and his solution was on presented on Fox News- Project Energy as a very efficient way to improve mileage and save money on gas. His device to save gas is made from a few parts, that you can create yourself, with no risk, and it will be able to improve your car’s mileage by over 40%. After you create the parts you will attach them to your car and that’s it. Only ¼ of a litre of water can save you gas for over 900 miles (proved in tests) , depending on several factors, like the engine size.
Don’t worry on the costs of this device, because you can built one with less than 150$ and can save you thousands of dollars every year, money which you could use to rent a new house, to buy new appliances, or why not, a new car.

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.
If you want to see how the water conversion is done, you can watch the LIVE VIDEO BY CLICKING HERE (http://savegasfuel.blogspot.com/)
