Secrets About The Car Running On Water

The water powered car on Fox News

This public patent for making a car that runs strictly on water is said to work. A new Japanese company recently announced a new technology that they are going to release to the public about a new technology that uses a chemical reaction that will enable a car to run on water, but this has been dismissed as nonsense by Popular Mechanics. A man in 1935 actually demonstrated running a car on water for a crowd of people that has been historically noted and we all know that hydrogen is a legitimate source of energy.

But is this really something that can work? But why not. There are plenty of people out there who are using these inventions as well as the kits that convert a car to being a hybrid that are getting results. What matters is how you install the components. It may take some time before you get the right temperature or the voltage, but this should be a project that can be done on an older car that is not the family car and is not necessary to get you back and forth to work.

Unlike what most people say not is not the so called ‘free energy’ - nothing is free, it is just less expensive - you still need to pay for the water. It is normal to reach up to 50 miles with just one gallon of water - however with some minor adjustment the milage can be increased substantially. The system is made up of a generator which converts pure water to hydrogen, which then enhances the fuel burning process. The fuel is then injected into the carburettor or injector pump and allows the car to run. This does not really sound scientific. The process of water fuel conversion is actually pretty simple.

It is not only good for the environment but alot safer than other types of fuel. You will be doing future generations a favor by using the water car technology today. This car will burn hydrogen instead of fuel. It will be a relief for the environment because less toxic chemicals emerge.

Some people feel that this is nothing more than a steam engine. But you are not using very high pressure or temperature to get the steam that a steam engine used. Unlike a steam engine, this water operated car has a more internal combustion system that uses steam as the by product. This cannot be compared to a steam engine.

Hybrid Cars and the Basics of How They Work

Posted by admin on 18 October 2008

The auto industry has been abuzz about the developments and introduction of new technologies for as long as it’s been around. The big new of this decade is the introduction of the Hybrid car. It’s not quite the electric machine everyone thought we’d be driving by now, but it’s halfway there and it’s a good solid step in that direction. But what exactly goes on under that slick new hood that makes these cars so special?

The science is a bit stuffy, but the basics are simple enough. It’s not even new technology necessarily. Buses and trains have been running with the help of electricity for years, but now it’s a consumer product, something you and I can go out and pick up from the car lot and drive around town.

Electric cars have a lot of drawbacks. They’re hard to maintain, harder to charge up, and don’t go nearly as far as you’d like, and we all know the drawbacks of the gasoline powered machines we drive around now. The mixture of the two is an attempt to cut back on car emissions and gas mileage while not falling victim to the pitfalls of electric cars.

Basically, with hybrid cars you’re bypassing the negatives of both sides. You still run your car on gasoline, but now it takes half as much and instead of the gasoline powering your car directly, it powers the batteries and generator that do most of the actual work.

If you brake or release the accelerator, the generator takes and stores energy from the motion in the car’s motor, putting it back in the batteries and recycling it into the all powerful energy that will propel your car forward. It sounds complicated but it’s really a matter of inserting a middle man between gasoline and your car that doesn’t pollute or deplete as you use it.

The fact that you’re still using gasoline is a necessity at this point as it would take a 1000 pound battery to emit as much energy as 1 gallon of gasoline. Gasoline is still an amazing formula capable of storing vast amounts of energy. Until a suitable alternative can be found and refined to the degree needed to operate a motor vehicle in our high powered, quick moving world, the hybrid is the scientific equivalent of a godsend. Our only other alternative is walking, or to start breaking the laws of physics.

Hybrid Car Buying Options

Posted by admin on 07 September 2008

The hybrid car market has built upon us slowly but steadily over the last decade ago. If you can remember back that far you’ll recall that gas was hovering around a dollar a gallon and we were in an economic boom, right on the edge of the dotcom bubble and the economic reality of the new millennium.

The last half decade or so has brought a few other realities as well, the most prevalent being the truth in global warming. The social effects are just now starting to be seen, right alongside the commercial effects. The evolution of the automobile has sidled right up to the plate as the next major development. For those interested in helping out by owning one of the new generation of the car, your choices were limited for a long time, but with each passing year a whole new slew of options open up as car companies hop onto the bandwagon, realizing that there is in fact money to be made in this market.

Until Ford finally announced their Escape model recently, the market has been dominated by Japanese automakers, and even now as more American companies get involved, they have nearly a ten year head start in the market.

Toyota Prius – The most popular and oldest of all hybrid models, the Prius is one of the cheapest models available as well as the most efficient with nearly 60 mpg. There is a downside to being the most popular however – a waiting list of two to nine months.

Honda Insight – Honda’s new entry, the Insight is a straight up competitor to the Prius, with a slightly lower price point and slightly higher mpg. It doesn’t have the establishment of brand name like Toyota hybrids, but the success of Civic and Accord hybrids in Honda’s line places them in a better position than any other car company to take Toyota on.

Ford Escape – The Escape Hybrid is the first time an American car company has offered a hybrid vehicle to the public. Their first entry is an attempt to pacify both markets at the same time, offering a more expensive SUV hybrid that gets significantly better mileage than most SUVs on the market, but still fails to come anywhere near the Toyota or Honda mileage standards.

Lexus and Toyota have offered their own entries into the SUV hybrid arena, with the Lexus RX 400h and Toyota Highlander respectively. The popularity of the SUV being what it is, the price point is rendered partially if not entirely mute, as those on the cusp of buying an SUV because of gas mileage might reconsider when these options are presented.

With upwards of 10 new models supposedly being unveiled later this year, the list of hybrid cars available to the public is growing rapidly, finally catching up to the demand that Toyota and their over-stuffed order forms can attest to. What remains to be seen now is if the kind of technology race that this market needs is coming right behind.
