Recently the internet has been raving with topics about converting car to run on water as fuel supplementing the gasoline consumption. This is highly attributed to the fact of soaring oil prices and global environmental issues. It is pressing for common individuals relying on car transportation to make a living and many small business owners that are crying out to sustain their businesses are affected by rising oil prices. This has caused the spendings of goods to increase as well. So, car owners are seeking ways to lower their fuel expenses and the reduction of burning gasoline will in turn help to minimise global warming significantly. It has been circulated on the internet that a guy named Daniel Dingel (an engineer) from the Philippines has developed a car that uses plain tap water and/or sea water for fuel and seems to be using this technology for over 30 years. Another source from Genepax Co Ltd revealed that their new fuel cell system generates electricity with only water and air without emitting carbon dioxide. Now, this is free energy! A simple explanation of how the system generates power is similar to that of a normal fuel cell, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. According to Genepax, the main feature of the fuel system uses the company’s Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA), which contains a special material capable of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction. Although this process has similarities to the mechanism that produces hydrogen by a reaction of metal hydride and water, as compared to the existing method, the new process is likely to produce hydrogen from water for longer period of time. As this technology is evidently available, most cars at present are still running on gasoline and these eco-friendly cars would probably take several years to appear in the commercial market and several more years for the price of the car to go down. This growing interest of converting existing cars to run on water is now in great demand but cost is a problem. Standalone conversion kits can be rather pricey costing for as much as $500. It can even cost thousands to do the conversion. An economical approach would be to convert existing cars to supplement gasoline with water to run the vehicle. Fortuntately, for the past few months there are numerous websites providing such Do-It-Yourself guides using low cost materials, and requiring little or no tehnical knowledge to carry out the task. Some of these websites reported that the cost of material is under $100, the technology is readily available and can be installed within few hours even for car “novices”. The fuel efficiency is proven to perform up to 40% and as much as 60%! Considering the material cost alone, the investment can be recouped very quickly. The public in general remains sceptical and uncertain of the possibility of this technology. Perhaps most people are so used to machines running on gasoline right from the beginning. This would probably take a while before this shift of paradigm is made known and accepted by everyone all over the world.

U.S. Govts Validation Of The Water To Gas Fuel Conversion System
December 16th, 2009The water to gas fuel conversion system which operates by the injection of hydrogen into the car engines air intake manifold and results in lower carbon gas emissions , improved mpg, and lesser global warming affecting the environment should be having a much better press and improved P. R. than is the case at present.
Too many people perceive the addition of a few bits and pieces to the engine of a car and its ancillary components beneath the bonnet/hood to be an amateur or garden shed invention that is too laughable to consider.
Such is the deep consideration given to all the problems associated with fossil fuel powered machinery, especially motorcars, that all major governments are now sponsoring the development of alternate methods of motor power that the U. S governments Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final report in November 2007 titled d “Guidelines For Use of Hydrogen Fuel In Commercial Vehicles” which was aimed at the safety issues associated with the handling of hydrogen, mainly but not solely, on diesel trucks rather than petrol powered cars, also included were hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and crucially for the water to gas movement ” the internal combustion vehicles and hydrogen on demand technology”.
I enclose some relevant comments from the above report to substantiate the U. S government’s support. Supported by our National Energy Policy a new generation of technologies is currently being developed that allow the use of hydrogen as a fuel to power cars and trucks in the future, hydrogen may be used in one of three ways to power vehicles.
a) To produce electricity in a fuel cell.
b) As a replacement for gasoline or diesel fuel in an internal combustion engine.
c) As a supplement to gasoline or diesel fuel in an internal combustion engine”.
There are several ways that hydrogen can be used as a motor fuel. It can be used to directly replace diesel or gasoline in specially designed internal combustion engines, or it can be used to supplement those typical fuels in existing engines. The report continues with a statement to affirm that the drive system of any vehicle converted to use hydrogen as a supplement remains identical to those cars who continue to use only diesel or gasoline.
Some data in support of installing a hydrogen on demand/or water to gas system is supplied by the Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company who guarantee a minimum improvement of at least 10% reduction in fuel use with reports of up to 30% reduction in some vehicles. The respected Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) state in a report that ” Hy-Drive Technologies fuel injection systems will reduce fuel consumption by 12-50%.
Right, we have covered the various governments support aspect of “hydrogen added” to cars, question now is where do you get one and how much will you have to pay. Well as it stands now the news is not too good. Hydrogen car makers like Honda, BMW and Toyota for instance are at present all leasing out vehicles, and even then they are selective as to where they prefer their customers to reside. At present there are very few hydrogen top-up stations in existence so if you do not have one in your area, then join the queue, it could be a very long queue by the time mass production is achieved and the whole support infrastructure is in place, 2years, 4years, 6years, more, who knows. As regards price its pick a number, so called experts are quoting anything from $50000 to $500000.
Why not satisfy your need for a hydrogen car and fit a water to gas fuel conversion system now and improve your mpg and the environment immediately by reducing those harmful carbon gas emissions and help prevent global warming. You only have one life, do not waste it or the environment.
