Gasoline and Water Powered Cars Increase Miles Per Gallon and Reduce Running Costs.

More and more people are converting their cars to run on part gasoline and part water. These hybrid cars are often called water powered cars, water cars, water fuel cars, water power cars. These descriptions give the impression that the cars are powered by one hundred percent water, they are not. These water assisted vehicles use hydrogen to supplement the gasoline in your car engine.

The beginning of the water assisted car.

The first water powered car was invented by a Isaac de Rivas, a Swiss inventor, in 1805. Since then many other people have reinvented the water powered vehicle such as Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir, Henry Garrett, Michael A. Peavey, Carl Cella, Stan Meyers and Bob Boyce to name but a few of many.

Now we have a guy named Ozzie Freedom who is promoting the water assisted car. Will he have any more success than his predecessors. He first started to experiment with hydrogen to power engines back in 1983 based on old forgotten US Patents, belonging to Bill and Tom Lang of Gulf Laboratories, USA. Later he wrote an eBook that gave complete details of how the average person could convert their vehicle to run on part water part gasoline and reduce their costs.

He has sold many thousands of copies of this eBook. Encouraged by these sales he now wants to actively promote the concept of the water car to a larger target audience. With the help of his company's technical director, Ari Cohen, Ozzie is attempting to educate the automotive industry and the public at large about the benefits of the hydrogen on demand technology. More commonly known as a "booster".

The automotive industry.

The automotive industry has to date chosen to ignore this technology. Car manufacturers could easily incorporate the hydrogen on demand technology into their vehicles in order to get more miles per gallon of gasoline but choose not to do so. Instead they are concentrating their resources on developing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle which will carry a tank filled with hydrogen.

The Booster.

The technology of the water car is basically simple. An electric voltage is applied across stainless steel plates suspended in water. This forces the oxygen and the hydrogen to separate (the water molecule is H2O, two hydrogen atoms and, one oxygen atom). This produces a gas commonly known as hho gas, brown's gas, Hydroxy, or water-fuel. A few people have even started calling it "cold steam".

This hho gas is fed into the engine via the carburettor in a standard petrol engine. (Vehicles with diesel engines and fuel injection systems can also be fitted with a booster.) The hho gas mixes with the gasoline and is ignited by the spark plugs in the normal way. The hho gas is produced on demand as required by the engine so there is no need to have to carry a tank full of hydrogen as is the method chosen by the car manufacturers. Some electric circuitry is also necessary.

From where do you get the information.

There are many people who are selling eBooks with instructions on how to make boosters. The quality of the information within these eBooks vary considerably. That is why a guy named Patrick Kelly has done the research on the best system and is giving it away free to those people who are interested. It can be downloaded Here.

His purpose for giving it away free is first to promote the technology as we definitely need to reduce our dependency on oil. Secondly, fitting a booster without knowing what you are doing can be dangerous therefore Patrick has made sure that adequate safety features are included in the instructions.

A Problem.

There is one problem with converting your car to run on part gasoline part water. The savings you make on fuel usage will vary from vehicle to vehicle. Depending on make and model of your car and the engine size. The majority of people seem to get fuel savings of around twenty percent but it could be more or a lot less.

Of course it is not just cars, or other vehicles, which can be converted to operate with the hydrogen on demand system. Any machine or apparatus which is driven by a gasoline engine can be powered by a gasoline-water mixture; generators, grass cutting machines, cranes, bulldozers, marine engines, etc.

Apart from getting better mileage per gallon of gasoline more benefits are:

• Fewer harmful emissions. Since the hydrogen helps the engine to burn gasoline more completely there is a reduction in harmful emissions.
• An increase in engine power and performance.
• Will remove carbon deposits and prevent future carbon build up.
• Your engine runs smoother and quieter.
• May increase the life expectancy of the engine.

Other benefits to water powered cars.

It varies year by year but the United States imports approximately eight million barrels of crude oil per day. The more people who convert their cars to use Hydroxy gas, the better for everyone.

And then there's global warming. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, the burning of fossil fuels is a major cause for the warming of the planet. If this is true, (many people consider man-made global warming to be a scam) then a reduction in oil use would be a great help in reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by us humans.
