With the ever increasing prices of gasoline and with very little sign of improvement, everybody is looking for either alternative fuels, the best gas mileage cars on the market, or ways to make gas mileage improvements to their existing vehicle. So are these so called water fueled cars a viable option? And just what are they? And how do they work?
The concept of water fueled cars is not a new one. The technology has been around for some time, but for one reason or another it has never been fully developed until now. But with the rising fuel crisis this technology has been going through a resurrection, and it seems to be catching on in a big way.
You will not be able to run your car on water alone so forget the idea of filling up your gas tank with a hose-pipe from your house. You will still have to put gas in your fuel tank. What this system does is (with the aid of a simple kit that can be easily and cheaply put together for around $150) to use HHO gas to increase the efficiency of your engine, to give you gas mileage improvements of between 30 to 50%.
Here’s how it works. This kit is basically a small hydrogen generator for cars. It generates HHO from a small reservoir of water (which is located next to or near your engine) with the aid of a tiny amount of electricity from your car battery. This HHO gas is then mixed with the regular gas from your fuel tank and fed into your engine in the usual way. This mixture burns much more efficiently and cleanly, giving you better performance, more power and huge gas mileage improvements.
The good thing about a hydrogen generator for cars, or HHO fuel kits are that they can be put together cheaply and easily, with little or no modification needed to your engine. They will work on almost any make and model of car or truck and are completely reversible, so are easily removed if you ever wanted to take it out for any reason.
So the advantages of these water fueled cars are,
1) Not only do they give you great gas mileage improvements they also burn cleaner, eliminating harmful exhaust emissions that pollute the atmosphere. 2) They greatly increase your engine power and performance giving you a smoother more positive ride. 3) With the cleaner burning fuel it will prolong the life of your engine and also cut down on repair bills, saving you even more money. 4) They reduce the operating temperature of your engine, cutting down on the waste heat being thrown into the environment. 5) They help to reduce carbon deposits in your engine and prevent further build up.
So to sum up. The use of water fueled cars will not only give you great gas mileage improvements making your car one of the best gas mileage cars around and saving you a fortune at the gas pumps, you will also be doing your bit to help the environment by cutting down the pollution that is causing global warming.

Water Fueled Cars; are They the Answer to Rising Gasoline Prices?
December 28th, 2009Hydrogen Fuel Cars – Do They Exist?
December 23rd, 2009Did you know that hydrogen fuel cars are already on the streets of many first world countries? General Motors and Ford already launched hydrogen fuel cars and currently, BMW has created a series of the same type of vehicle. General Motors already have thirteen hydrogen fuel cars roaming the streets of Washington, including 6 minivans.
Ford is still in the process of manufacturing ‘Focus’. Other car manufacturers namely Honda, Toyota, DaimlerChrysler, and Nissan already have vehicles in the Army and even with the public.
With the launching of hydrogen fuel cars, many car owners no longer have to worry about gas mileage. If you want to save money now, yet you can’t afford the hydrogen fuel cars, have your existing car converted. Of course, it can cost a little but the benefits are priceless.
By 2010, General Motors will launch alternative hydrogen fuel cars. Although the cars use alternative hydrogen fuel, the price is just like that of internal combustion vehicles. GM and Shell are now partners; the latter has created stations for hydrogen fuel to meet the demand for the alternative fuel. The two giant companies projected that for every 200,000 hydrogen fuel cars, 300 stations are needed.
If you walk the streets of Europe, you will hardly notice that there are some hydrogen fuel buses roaming their streets. DaimlerChrysler introduced the said buses in 2004. You can find the buses in Barcelona, Amsterdam, London, Hamburg, Madrid, Luxemburg, Reykjavik, Porto, Stuttgart, and Stockholm. The buses function well regardless of the weather.
In fact, the buses provide excellent transportation during hot summers and cold winters; as well as in the hilly regions and flatlands. You can find hydrogen stations in the 7 major cities of Europe and each station is equipped with the necessary equipments like the electrolysis tools. Water is used to create the fuel for the stations.
An ethanol fuel car can also use hydrogen fuel cells. Ethanol has water and this is where the hydrogen is derived. If you use this alternative, you can improve gas mileage and at the same time supply the cells with the needed hydrogen. This type of vehicle is called water power car or hybrid car and it can run using ethanol or hydrogen.
If you want a clean and abundant energy source, choose hydrogen fuel cars. As long as you have a water source, you can use it to power your hydrogen car. At present, the fuel cells are quite large but developers are now trying to make it more efficient and more reliable. Just imagine the very first computers which were large but after several years, small versions were soon invented and launched. It will not be shocking if hydrogen fuel technology will rapidly develop.
One thing’s for sure, hydrogen fuel cars do exist. Some people are still unaware of this fact but in the coming years, these cars will dominate the streets. Here’s good news to everyone, if you want to address the global warming problem, have your cars converted if it is feasible.
Check your locality if you can find a hydrogen station. This is a very important decision that you have to make, so be sure that you will have no regrets. So far, users of hydrogen fuel cars do not have any regrets and with the advanced technology of today, improvements are on their way. So look out for the cars of the future.

Run Your Car on Water as Fuel. is This for Real?
December 18th, 2009With gasoline reaching record prices these days it would be a good time to start rolling out the Hydrogen Powered Fuel Cell cars. Or, if we could alter our internal combustion engines to be more efficient it would be a start in fighting high fuel prices. There is a new technology out there that allows just this.
First of all, a car that can run on 100% water is years in the future. Scientists have been working years on a hydrogen fuel cell, the hydrogen powered car. This technology needs more developing before it can be affordable enough to be produced for the masses.
This article is about the results of researching several companies that have developed a 90+ year old idea and applied it to todays cars and trucks. It involves a process that separates water, h20, into a gas called HHO (2 hydrogen atoms + 1 oxygen atom. ). This is also known as hydrogen-oxygen and hydroxy. It is produced with help from your car battery and is not stored but produced on an as needed basis. The system allows the HHO to be burned along with gasoline, which increases mileage and fuel efficiency.
The device that can make this happen and other parts of the system are readily available in hardware stores. All of the parts can be purchased for $200 or less. Installation can be done in just minutes. There is also a network of over 400 people who are making a living by manufacturing and installing these systems for people who just aren’t do-it-yourself-ers.
I have found no exaggerated claims by the companies that I researched. The process makes for a more efficient combustion process which results in a cleaner and quieter running engine. Depending on the age of the car or truck, mileage improvement ranges anywhere from 25% to 45% and higher. As of today, there are already thousands of people benefiting from a water-to-energy conversion. They have formed a network to share their experiences with each other and with people interested in converting their automobile.
In my research I have found that the overall wish is that this technology will be further developed to increase its efficiency even further, giving us one more way to lessen our use of fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions.
If this is all a hoax it will surely be exposed and soon go away. If not then it should be tested scientifically and developed further. I will be following this technology closely over the coming months. I am a firm believer in the American spirit and ingenuity. Many of our greatest inventions were started in basements and garages by so called “armchair engineers”. Remember, the Apple computer and Amazon. com both had their start in the entrepreneurs own garage.
