You Should Convert Your Car to Burn Water - HHO


You Should Convert Your Car to Burn Water - HHO Gas Car
Modification Truly Pays Off

The car enthusiasts and owners are facing the heat of the
rising fuel prices. They are desperate to find new ways of
tackling the fuel prices. The HHO gas car kit conversion was
one such innovative attempt to find a solution and seems it
has really paid off. Now you have the great option to
convert your car to burn water which is one amazing thing
that can happen to your car, for there is not just one
reason to feel happy about.

FOX News and many other News channels across the world from
Japan, Korea, Australia, Russia all have reported about the
HHO gas car modification and similar inventions and the
technology is fast gaining popularity.

We are trying to use the hydrogen in water, water is said to
be the richest source of hydrogen, through this technology.
The browns gas that is produced during the electrolysis of
water and this is injected into the conventional fuel stream
lending the following advantages:

1. 40% - 50% assured increase in the mileage, as there is
efficient usage of fuel.

2. The horse power of the engine is increased and the carbon
dirt that may accumulate in the engine is also cleaned.

3. Decrease in the pollutant emissions, so we are marching
towards a greener environment with less footprints.

The kit is not just popular for advantages alone though. The
plug in plug out model is one that we have here. You can
easily add the kit to your car with few bolts, and so can
you remove it without trace. The cheap kit can be built
under $100. Among the other options like hybrid car that can
come to you at huge costs, for using alternate fuel, the
cheapest and best solution seems to be the HHO gas kit.

Do you want to convert your car to run on water with less
than 150$, including the conversion kit?

Your Drinking Water Questions Answered

Going to the sink and running you a glass of clear, cold
water do not take much effort. But have you considered where
your drinking water comes from and if it is safe. Sure, we
buy bottles of water each year but who makes sure that the
water found within those plastic cocoons is actually safe
for human consumption?

It is a complex process that begins with your bottle or
glass of water and continues on to the federal government.
If you have not given your drinking water much thought it is
time to do so because there are plenty of chances you are
taking each time you take a drink of water.

So for your informative pleasure this article will take you
through some of the questions you may have about your
drinking water. From source to tap this is your
one-stop-drinking information.

Are there better bottled waters for you versus some others?

Well, that depends on who you ask. Many bottling companies
market their products as "pure" when in reality they may be
from the same water source that comes from your kitchen
sink. Other companies are now adding flavors and vitamins to
their waters in order to entice more consumers into choosing
their brands over the competition. It really comes down to
personal taste and preference.

Is it considered protected under the Safe Drinking Water
Act?

Well water is not considered protected under the Safe
Drinking Water Act set forth by the Environmental Protection
Agency due to it is not being consumed by the public. In
fact the SDWA only covers areas in which ten or more homes
are using the same source water. Your private water supply
will need to be monitored by you but you can buy kits that
test the quality of your water to ensure that it is safe for
your consumption.

What is the Safe Drinking Water Act?

In 1974 Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act as a way
to monitor the drinking water standards of all US public
drinking water facilities. It does not cover well water but
it does cover bottled water facilities. It does cover ground
well water sources where public water facilities tap into
though and of course rivers, streams and lakes.

What is this backlash about bottled drinking water about?

A few years ago a major bottling company of water was
discovered to be using tap water as their "pure mountain
spring water" instead of what they advertised. This helped
fuel the debate on whether or not bottled water was any
better for you than tap water.

Conservationists and environmental protection agencies have
long argued that this trend towards bottled water is harming
the environment. The sheer volumes of plastic water bottles
in our landfills are testament to that fact.

Your Car Should Get Better Gas Mileage!

I don't think of myself as a conspiracy theorist, but
sometimes I feel like I may behave as one. The reason is
that if you get me on the topic of the automotive industry
and the fuel efficiency of cars I'll rant for hours (usually
until I've cleared the room). OK, I'm not quite that bad
anymore-I can gauge the boredom factor of my audience, but
I'll tell you one thing for sure. As gas prices start to
approach $4/gallon, people aren't dismissing me quite so
quickly anymore.

So how's my rant go?

Well the first thing I like to bring up is that cars today
really don't get very good gas mileage when compared to the
mileage that cars have gotten over the years. Sure we look
at the hybrids and we are impressed that they can get over
50MPG, but honestly, that's no great feat. The 1984 Honda
Civic Coupe got 64MPG on the highway and 48 in the city.
There's no hybrid out there today that can match those
numbers-not even the current Honda Civic Hybrid!

The modern Civic Hybrid doesn't get the same mileage for one
really simple reason. It's heavier. Much of that extra
weight is from all of the creature comforts that we have
come to appreciate in our cars (and that massive
rechargeable battery in the car's belly). Most people would
be surprised to know that modern cars typically outweigh the
bulky steel beasts from the 60s and 70s. The 1968 Dodge
Charger (the Duke's of Hazard's General Lee) is outweighed
by a Toyota Camry by several hundred pounds.

I tell you this because it is necessary to refute one of the
most common arguments that I hear against our car's getting
better gas mileage: "If the manufacturer's could get better
mileage out of our cars, they would."

That is total bunk

If you look at the average MPG of production vehicles in the
USA, it hovers around exactly what the government requires
those averages to be. When the government raises the CAF
requirements, the manufacturers make their cars get more
miles per gallon. Sure they complain about it the whole way,
because we've all gotten used to having passable fuel
economy and all of the bells and whistles too. Now they have
to work out a way to give us both. And they can.

Keep in mind that that 1984 Honda civic that got 64 MPG on
the highway didn't have fuel injection; it had no computer
to regulate its systems - it used a carburetor (essentially
a device with tubes shaped like hour glasses) to mix the air
and the fuel.

Back in the 60's though the cars weighed about the same,
engines were much, much larger. It wasn't unusual at all to
have 5.0 liter and larger engines, even over 7.0 liter
engines in cars. Many of these engines achieved MPG ratings
into the high 20s and low 30s on the highway. I have owned
several cars from the late 60s and early 70s that achieved
average city MPG ratings of 22MPG with 5.0 Liter engines.

One of the reasons that this is possible is something called
compression ratio. One of the things an engine does when it
burns gas or diesel is it compresses the air-fuel mixture
before it is ignited. The more you compress the mixture the,
the more power you get from the ignition. In the late 60s
many cars had compression ratios over 11 to 1 (some as high
as 13 to 1). Modern cars have compression ratios hovering
around 9 to 1. That means that modern engines have as much
as a 30% decrease in their compression and the power they
can get from the burning of their fuel (depending on a few
other factors as well).

Why on earth is the compression ratio so much lower?

I'm certain that this is what you are asking. The reason is
both simple and complex. It is the octane rating of the fuel
the car burns. When you look at the gas at the pump and you
see those numbers on the regular, mid-grade, and premium
blends of gas you may not know what they mean, but those are
the octane ratings. 87 through 93, typically-depending on
altitude. The higher the octane rating, the more you can
compress the air-fuel mixture. In 1966, premium gas had an
octane rating of 107. That is what allowed engines to
compress the mixture so much more.

It's very important to note that a higher compression ratio
causes the engine to have a more complete burn (the
molecules are closer together and ignite faster) and reduces
emissions. High compression ratio = lower emissions = more
environmentally friendly.

The next obvious question is why is the octane level so much
lower now? That has two reasons. The first is that one of
the things that was used to boost octane was lead. We all
know that lead is bad and that burning it in your engine
makes for a rather unpleasant exhaust. The second is that
the petroleum companies determined that the sweet spot for
them to get the greatest yield out of their refining
processes was to make 87 octane fuel.

If you don't think that the oil companies and refineries do
not work in very close concert with the auto manufacturers,
you need to think again. If you had a product that had one,
very large marketplace, would you not work very closely with
the companies that create that marketplace to make sure that
your products work well together? And would you not be
surprised if mutually beneficial arrangements were reached
that did not necessarily benefit the consumer?

If the auto manufacturers were really concerned about MPG
rating, and if they were really concerned about the
environment, they would have continued making higher
compression engines and the petroleum companies would have
been the ones forced to modify their product. What actually
happened was that the auto manufacturers dropped the
compression ratios on their engines and the petroleum
companies got to get more bang for their buck and we all
burn more gas on less efficient engines. It's a win/win for
them and a lose/lose for us.

We know leaded gas is out - but is there anything else?

If you load the Wikipedia article on octane ratings for
gasoline you will find a section that lists the octane
ratings for different fuels. You'll note that E85 and
Methanol can have ratings in the 105-107 range. That's huge.
That means that if an engine was made to burn those fuels
specifically the compression could be increased and the
power and mileage would increase and emissions would
decrease.

Unfortunately the so-called 'flex-fuel' cars that are made
that can run on E85 and (rarely) methanol still use lower
compression ratios and don't get a really significant
benefit. A lot like the time you tried premium in your car
and saw zero improvement over regular.

So what can we do?

If you haven't gotten this impression yet, let me re-enforce
it. The auto manufacturers are only going to go as far as
they have to to meet the requirements that the government
sets. They will go no further. It's up to us, the public, to
take control of our own fates and expect life changing and
ground-breaking things from big business and the government.

Just a few short years ago the Ansari X-Prize was announced.
10 Million dollars for the first private company to get a
ship into space twice within 2 weeks. Many companies entered
with varying degrees of success and many naysayers said it
couldn't be done-that only projects with massive funding
from the government could get people into space.

Scaled Composites, a US company expended (at my last time of
reading) roughly $20 million dollars and got a man into
space. The current X-Prize is going to be awarded to the
first non-government agency to build a car that can get
100MPG and then win a race against other entrants. The cars
have to have things like air conditioning and stereo
systems. Already private entrants (often part time
hobbyists) are producing prototypes that are getting over
90MPG - from vehicles they are building in their garages.

Just like when the automotive revolution began a century
ago, it is the everyday Americans and inventive people from
around the world that are stepping up and trying new and
exciting things to solve problems that big business and the
governments are stymied by.

Get in on the exciting changes.

There are a lot of things you can do and try. From altering
your car to burn E85/Methanol (and even if you only get
moderate MPG improvement - helping the environment), to
burning vegetable oil in your diesel (commonly known as
biodiesel), to revolutionary water electrolyzers that
extract HHO gas from water and burn it in your engine.

Check out alternativefuelupdate.com to learn about many of
these exiting ideas, solutions and products that you can
take advantage of to join the revolution and (if you'll
forgive my slightly conspiracy theorist sounding term) stick
it to the man.

Your Car on Tap Water - One More Scam?

Have you seen headlines screaming "Run Your Car on Tap
Water"? You probably have, but passed them skeptically.
Indeed, the idea seems to be too crazy to be true. So, it
might be just another scam. But is it?

You might be really surprised, but water can actually be
used as a fuel substitute. The hydrogen contained in it has
been known and used as a mighty source of energy for quite
long. And the method of breaking H2O molecules into oxygen
and hydrogen was invented many decades ago. So, basically,
there is nothing new in attempts of using water as a power
source.

However, running your car on tap water alone is a bit of
exaggeration. While some scientists claim it is
theoretically quite possible to use plain water to
substitute gas or diesel completely, such vehicles have not
yet been introduced. The technology that is available today
relies on both fuel and water complementing each other.

So, you can really run your car on tap water, but only
partially. The usage of your conventional fuel is still
required. Water, or, to be precise, its hydrogen will act as
a booster and enhancer for gas, allowing it to burn more
efficiently and leave minimum wastes. In other words, you
can increase gas mileage significantly and save a plum sum
on fuel bills.

The best part is that the technology is unobtrusive - it
does not modify your car engine at all, but simply adds an
extra fuel source in a form of a small hydrogen generator,
which can easily be removed should the need occur. Once the
generator is installed, it will use just plain tap water and
little electricity from your car battery. No recurrent
expenses are needed whatsoever.

You will, however, need to make an initial investment to
your car's hydrogen generator. But how much you will spend
largely depends on your choice. While a commercially made
hydrogen generator might cost a way more than you would
expect, a homemade one can cost you next to nothing if you
use cheap materials and even idle parts found in your
garage.

So, if you want to run your car on tap water, it is vital
for you to find a good manual with detailed step-by-step
instructions. It should not be overloaded with terms and
unnecessary information as well. Needless to say, if the
guide tells you to go and spend hundreds on materials from a
hardware store, your choice is definitely wrong. A proven
genuine manual for your car on tap water should help you
save, not overspend.

that has taught many drivers including myself to build our
very first water fuel kit and save hundreds on fuel.

You Paid What For Gas?

Gas prices are outrageous. They seem to climb higher and
higher by the minute. When this upward trend in prices will
end is anyone's guess. With brittle budgets and no relief
at the pump in sight, consumers are looking for ways to
lower their gasoline bills. Short of investing in a horse
and buggy, here are a few gas saving tips to help you get
the most from the money you spend at the pump.

Start with your car owners manual.

Check your tire pressure. Inflate or deflate your tires so
that the pressure of each tire matches the suggested
pressure listed in your owners manual. Surprisingly,
improperly inflated tires can adversely affect your gas
mileage.

Check the maintenance schedules in your owners manual and
see that your car gets the suggested maintenance performed
as frequently as recommended by the manufacturer. Dirty air
filters, old spark plug wires and dirty motor oil all affect
your engine's performance. Keeping your car in top working
order allows for a more efficient engine, thus reducing the
amount of fuel needed to run smoothly.

Clean your fuel system.

Carbon build up, plugged fuel injectors and ill functioning
exhaust systems can drain your gas tank quickly. If you are
not a backyard mechanic, take your car to an ASE certified
garage and request a check of your fuel system. Repair or
replace any poorly functioning parts and schedule a check up
in six months before leaving the garage.

Adjust your driving habits.

Speedy take offs at the stoplight may make you feel like
Mario Andretti, but they are torture on your gas tank.
Coast as much as possible and accelerate gradually when
necessary. Use your brakes sparingly. Let nature slow you
down instead of your brake pads.

Slow down on the highway. Car experts say that traveling
faster than 60 mph costs you money. For every 5 mph above
60 mph, it cost you an additional $0.20 a gallon to maintain
your speed. By driving at 60 mph instead of 65 mph, you save
nearly a tenth of a gallon of gas at current fuel prices.

Clean out your trunk.

Remove any unnecessary items from your car because excess
weight will decrease your gas mileage. Lighten the load to
save money. Some car fanatics even argue that a clean car
runs better. They meticulously scrub bugs, dirt and debris
from the undercarriage to lighten the car and wax the finish
regularly to reduce wind resistance. At the very least, be
sure that you're not consistently carrying more weight in
your car than you need to.

Shut off your air conditioning.

A cars air conditioner sucks gas like a thirsty camel. Use
it sparingly, or not at all. If the weather is nice, roll
down the windows or use the fan setting. After your cars
interior has heated up by sitting in the baking sun, roll
the windows down for a few minutes to allow the hot air to
escape rather than turn the air conditioning on immediately.
Your air conditioner will run at a higher setting for a
shorter period of time if you allow the majority of the heat
to escape naturally and replace it with fresh, cool air from
the outside.

Put these tips into practice with your car and reap the
benefits of better gas mileage . With a little extra work
and some common sense, you can fight those outrageous gas
prices and save money at the pump.
