Water Fueled Cars

There is a lot of talk these days about water fueled cars. It's little wonder with the price of gasoline going through the roof. In Europe there were strikes by truck drivers when oil went over $135 a barrel, causing chaos in many parts. Yes, water fueled cars does sound like the answer, but is it real?

The answer to that is "yes and no." A car that can run purely on water is not yet a reality, and maybe never will be. However, a car that can take water, turn it into a combustible gas and burn it alongside gasoline, thereby greatly increasing the miles per gallon yield, is a reality right now.

Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen – H2O. Through an electrolysis procedure it is possible to separate the constituent parts and re-combine them to form a gas: HHO. This gas is two-thirds hydrogen and one-third oxygen. It is also called Brown's Gas after the scientist who did so much early research into the gas.

To create HHO from water you need an electricity supply. Luckily, the modern car has that already in place through the car battery. Luckily again, only a modest current is required, leaving more than enough to power all the other things the car battery normally does.

The great thing about using HHO in a normal car engine is the fact that it requires very little adaptation. It also uses very little water as a litre of water can produce 1,866 litres of HHO – enough to last water fueled cars a month or more.

The other good thing about HHO is that it can easily combine with gasoline. When the two are introduced into the piston chamber and ignited, the resultant explosion is more efficient that with just gasoline alone.

One excellent side effect of using HHO with gasoline is that it stabilizes the engine much more. Drivers of water fueled cars always notice less vibration, less engine noise, and a general increase in stability. The introduction of HHO has one other very important side effect; it increases the normal miles per gallon yield by a significant factor.

In today's world of rising gasoline prices, anything that can help to keep costs down must surely be welcomed. Water fueled cars that utilize HHO alongside gasoline can expect increased mileage of at least 35%. There have been reports of double the mileage being obtained – even triple!

What this means to the average motorist is simply this: if you can double your car's mileage, you half your fuel costs. That's what water fueled cars can do! It's a bit like going back in time maybe 20 years or more. Can you remember those prices? You don't have to if you use HHO technology alongside gasoline. Water fueled cars make those old gasoline prices come right back.

You may be wondering if adapting a normal car to utilize HHO is difficult. No, it isn't, neither is it expensive. It shouldn't take any knowledgeable person any more than a few hours to install, and it shouldn't cost more than about $150 or so. That's surely a cheap price to pay for the reality of water fueled cars!

Cars That Run on Water Tip #1

No matter what anybody tells you, there is not yet a water powered car in production. That is an urban myth that reached its peak with Stanley Meyer who claimed that he drove one hundred miles using only four ounces of water (he was later convicted of fraud). The water powered engine hasn't even been invented yet. Scientists are still trying to figure out if it is even possible.

Cars That Run on Water Tip #2

Many major car manufacturers are embracing the idea of the hydrogen car. BMW hopes to release a hydrogen car to the public by 2008 (or 2010 at the latest) and other manufacturers like Toyota are also making plans to release hydrogen car lines. Of course the debate over using hydrogen in cars is still raging and nothing has been settled yet.

Cars That Run on Water Tip #3

While both a water based engine and a hydrogen engine will do wonders for fuel emissions and the environment, one of the major reasons people want them is to improve their fuel mileage. Of course, gas mileage can be improved right now. You can improve your gas mileage drastically just by driving sensibly and making sure your car is maintained properly.
