Fuel-Cell Cars: The Wave of the Future?
Jun 24th
Andrew Beckers asked:
Hydrogen fuel cell cars are expensive and impractical. So why would we even consider them? With gasoline prices well over $4 per gallon and reduction of CO2 emissions a priority, all alternative fuels and future car technologies are getting a closer scrutiny these days. Not only that, if a proper infrastructure was created, Hydrogen could very well be the world’s next propulsion fuel. Its cheap and abundant…so what are we waiting for?
What are they, and how do they work?
Hydrogen can be burned in a combustion engine or be converted back into electricity through a fuel cell. In an internal combustion automotive engine, gasoline or hydrogen can be used in a dual-fuel system that will suffice until a widespread hydrogen infrastructure can be built. These dual fuel cell systems are much like the electric hybrids like Toyato’s Prius, yet they use hydrogen rather than electricity to supplement the gasoline.
In the long-term, with an infrastructure in place, hydrogen-on-demand vehicles can use either a hydrogen compound for internal combustion, or a fuel cell can create electro-mechanical energy and water. A fuel cell isn’t as complicated as a conventional gas or diesel engine and isn’t subject to high temperatures, corrosion or some of the structural weaknesses found in other types of engines. This affords a flexibility and durability for Hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen is processed through the fuel cell and combined with oxygen to create electricity. This newly formed energy is sent to pistons to propel the car forward (or reverse if you like). These fuel cell cars promise zero emissions and pollutants, with the only tailpipe emission being water vapor. Fuel-Cells are basically a combination of a battery and an engine making them a very unique advancement in car propulsion systems. Every year more and more efficient fuel cells are churned out by engineers and factories propelling the hydrogen car possibilities forward. Fuel-Cell conventions and conglomerates abound and with more and more government grants focusing on Fuel-Cell and Hydrogen Car development, the future continues to get brighter for Hydrogen Fuel-Cell cars.
While there is concern that putting hydrogen fuel cell cars on the road is as bad of an idea as was the ill-fated Hindenburg, experts say the two aren’t related, and recent advances in car technology include development of safe, on-board hydrogen storage systems.
Infrastructure and hydrogen highways.
If you’re not familiar with the term, a hydrogen highway is a chain of hydrogen-equipped filling stations along a road. What will it take to make it happen? Norway started the HyNor Project in 2006; Japan has several stations, as does Germany, and California now reports having 25 stations in place from San Diego to Sacramento. All of these stations will add to a momentum of change and will hopefully give rise to a new determination to improve on present Hydrogen powered vehicle prototypes in order to begin to switch our fleet of petroleum based cars. The Hydrogen car will arrive even if it takes time: The future is now.

Hydrogen Generators for Cars – What are They and How Do They Work?
Jun 24th
Richard Legg asked:
rst heard about hydrogen generators for cars and hydrogen car kits, I thought that people were talking about some futuristic gadget or rocket car, perhaps from the latest science fiction blockbuster at the movies. I never believed that it would be possible to run cars on water which is what these gas mileage devices are claimed to do.
But it seems that hydrogen generators for cars are nothing new and the technology has been around for some time. In fact I found out that these hydrogen car kits are widely available and at a price that almost everyone can afford. The prices seem to range between $100-$150 and are very easily installed as most of them come with a full guide to show you how.
So just what are these hydrogen car kits? Basically in very simple terms what they consist of is a small container of water to which is added a catalyst, such as baking soda, and some stainless steel plates. This is then connected to your cars battery to supply a small amount of electricity. When all these components are put together in the proper way what you end up with is a small hydrogen generator.
Once this system is installed and up and running it is possible to extract hydrogen oxygen (HHO) also known as a brown gas by the use of electrolysis. This is a process were electricity is used to change water into HHO. As water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen this process separates the two hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atom, basically converting the water into two flammable gases.
This HHO gas is then taken into the airflow on the intake manifold of your engine were it is mixed with the ordinary gasoline from your fuel tank. This mixture is then burnt in your engine in the usual way, but as it burns more efficiently and cleanly, it gives you better performance, more power and a huge saving in the amount of gasoline used.
Along with the fantastic gas mileage improvements that you get with these hydrogen car kits there are many other advantages. You get a cleaner burning fuel which will help to remove carbon deposits in your engine and prevent further build up. You will prolong the life of your engine and so save on mechanics bills. And one of the best of all is that this system produces considerably less harmful exhaust emissions, so helping to reduce the green house gases that cause global warming.
So with all these advantages of hydrogen generators for cars and with the actual hydrogen car kits so readily available and at such a great price, it is possible to run cars on water. I really think that water fueled cars are the way ahead. With the rocketing price of oil, and the cost of gas at the pumps going up on an almost weekly basis we really should be doing all we can to make gas mileage improvements for ourselves.
And if we are helping the environment by using cleaner burning fuels then so much the better. So do the planet a favour and save cash at the same time and find out more about water fueled cars for yourself.

Hydrogen Car Kit – Save Money and Improve Mpg Massively
Jun 17th
Andreas Lee asked:
People are increasingly switching over to hydrogen technology for their vehicles. One of the main reasons for such a move is the steep rise in prices of oil. With such escalating costs it has become difficult for some people to maintain cars. A hydrogen powered car on the other hand requires little oil and will help the people to save fuel costs. With the system in place with the help of Hydrogen car kit, brown gas would be produced from water during electrolysis. This is used to produce energy. When it comes into contact with gasoline it gives good mileage to the vehicle.
It is very easy to empower your car using the Hydrogen car kit. There are machines that are available with some companies but those are priced very high. The technology can however be installed with simple tools that are readily available. You would need an automotive fuse, a container, electrical wiring, baking soda and a few other parts. All this can be assembled in your car for not more than $170. You can get the instructions in the internet. You will be taught step-by-step how to incorporate the modifications in your car.

Is it Possible to Run Your Car on Water?
Jun 16th
Crispin Camelo asked:
the talk on the internet and the press about hydrogen fuel-cell cars that essentially run on water, one cannot help but to take a closer look. The sobering truth after taking a closer look, however, is that the technology that runs a car 100% on water is not yet ready for prime time. It’s just not economically feasible, yet.
However, many innovative experts suggest that there is a way to cost-effectively utilize this technology now. By powering your car with water in combination with gas or diesel will result in a low-cost “homemade” hybrid vehicle. This type of conversion will result in a dramatic savings of fuel, from 35% to as much as 75%. At this time, building a car from scratch that will run solely on water is still both costly and impractical. Instead, it’s better to construct and install a simple device that will harness this hydrogen fuel technology and enable your car to run on water as well as gas. This can be done now and result in immediate savings. There is no need to radically alter or modify your car’s existing engine, or to even get a new hybrid car to enjoy these savings. The technology can work with virtually any car or truck.
To basically explain how it works, this technology involves building a simple device that is charged by your car’s electrical system to create a gas called HHO (consists of two parts and hydrogen and one part oxygen). This HHO gas, also known as Hydrogen*Oxygen” or “Hydroxy”, burns very efficiently. The means it produces significant energy.
Probably the most amazing fact is that pound for pound HHO gas is far more potent than gasoline. Tests prove that HHO gas is 3 times more potent than gasoline. And it burns clean, no polluting exhaust.
Saving money on fuel can be easily and quickly achieved by implementing this technology in your car. Because you need to buy less of it, and you drive farther on the gas you do buy. Real-world household savings can be as much as $900 per year ($75 per month) per car. With multiple cars and drivers in a family, the yearly savings increase dramatically. For companies that have a vehicle fleet of 50 cars and drivers in a company, the yearly savings can increase to as much as $50,000 per year.
Until the technology for running a car completely on water is off the drawing board and in the marketplace at a price that makes it practical to implement, utilizing this HHO technology is by far the best choice to save in the interim. Most amazingly, with the right information and a few easily obtained materials, it can be immediately applied. So even if you can’t yet save 100% of your gas usage, you can save around 50% now. It’s worth doing.
