Saving At The Gas Pump

As the innovative hydrogen car kits are now entering the mainstream there is a horrendous amount of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) being flung around. Whether you are interested in purchasing such a system or not it’s really worth to know the facts:

Fake Fact Number 1:

Hydrogen car kits sellers say that these burn water. This is nonsense and thus this whole movement is just a hype movement.

Answer:

Hydrogen car kits do not burn water, because yes, that’s impossible. What they do is that they use the car battery to split the water into its components hydrogen and oxygen and use the resulting HHO gas or brown gas as it is called.

Fake Fact Number 2:

Hydrogen car kits can’t be useful. They spend more energy in splitting the water than they do from actually burning the resulting stuff. It’s basic physics.

Answer:

If this is what hydrogen car kits would be actually doing, you’d be right. However the hydrogen gas is used as an additive which greatly improves the efficiency of the gasoline burning process. Basically, the mix burns faster and thus a much smaller amount of energy is dissipated as heat and converted into useful energy.

Fake Fact Number 3:

If this hydrogen thing would be really working then the car manufacturers would’ve used it a long time ago.

Answer:

This is just blatantly false. Car manufacturers are very conservative in their designs. Diesel engines for example, which are much more efficient than standard ones have been with us almost for as long as cars themselves, yet they are still in minority. We don’t want to point any fingers here, but when these manufacturers compare the benefits of an improved design with the cost of modifying their assembly lines, the cost aware argument usually wins.

Fake Fact Number 4:

The price for the components of these hydrogen car kits must be huge.

Answer:

This is again blatantly false. These systems were invented by people just like you and me who were passionate about making a difference. This means that they had low budgets and they had access only to off the shelve components. This is a grassroots movement and the cost really does reflect this.

Fake Fact Number 5:

If these hydrogen car kits really are this good, wouldn’t the government support them? There is absolutely no help from the government in this direction, which means that these things are absolutely useless.

Answer:

You have reached a painful truth. Indeed, the government is not supporting such innovations, but not because these hydrogen car kits do not deserve, but rather because there are no huge corporate interests and lobbyists behind them. The only initiative of this type that the government is supporting is the ethanol fuel, which is not particularly efficient (especially in its corn variety), but which has the benefit of producing huge profits for the agribusiness establishment.

These are the pure, raw facts. If by any chance you have decided to try hydrogen car kits, you have our congratulations. A good place to find out more would be this: http://shorten.ws/Save-at-the-Pump

When looking for a ways on how to improved gas mileage for your car, truck or SUV, one of the latest technologies to best achieve improved gas mileage is by using a gas mileage additive. A gas mileage enhancer should provide a combination of both the immediate and the long-term benefits.

One way to accomplished this is by improved modification of the burn rate in the combustion chamber. This process provides a significant improvement in fuel economy and improved gas mileage. The more complete combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber the better the fuel economy. The prevention and removal of combustion deposits and their subsequent migration into the engine lubrication system, reduces friction and provides an additional improvement in fuel economy and gas mileage.

The EnviroTabs -Green Technology is a combustion catalyst that does not react with or change the fuel itself in any way. The science behind this technology is known as Metallurgy. Unlike other fuel additives or mileage enhancers on the market, EnviroTabs is an organometallic engine conditioner that uses the fuel as a carrier and once inside the combustion chamber, allows the fuel to actually burn quicker and therefore more completely BEFORE the exhaust valve opens. As the fuel burns quicker, it creates more power during the down stroke of the piston. This increase in efficiency provides the engine more thrust with the same amount of fuel consumed.

Once thought to be the next fuel saving generation of fuel efficient cars, the reality of the complexity of such an endeavor has proved to be overwhelming.

The challenging complexities of implementing both the technical and economical aspects may prove to be too much for the auto industry. Most of the vehicles that are in current production today use a hydrogen fuel cell, a type of rechargeable battery, if you will.

The potential advantage of hydrogen is that it can be produced and consumed continuously, using solar, water, wind and nuclear power for electrolysis. Currently, however, hydrogen vehicles utilizing hydrogen produce more pollution than vehicles consuming gasoline, diesel, or methane in a modern internal combustion engine, and far more than plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.This is because, although hydrogen fuel cells generate no CO2, production of the hydrogen creates additional emissions. While methods of hydrogen production that do not use fossil fuel would be more sustainable, currently such production is not economically feasible, and diversion of renewable energy (which represents only 2% of energy generated) to the production of hydrogen for transportation applications is inadvisable.

Some of the drawbacks to Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars is the high cost of the hydrogen production and the transportation for delivery. The replacement of the existing extensive gasoline fuel station infrastructure would cost a half trillion U.S. dollars in the United States alone. There are also environment consequences from the production of hydrogen from fossil energy resources which include the emission of greenhouse gases.

Most, but not all, of the current vehicles  today are only available in demonstration models and cost a large amount of money to make and run. They are not yet ready for general public use and are unlikely to be as feasible as plug in bio diesel hybrids.

An alternative would be a hydrogen-on-demand system. Installing  the conversion to water equipment to your car can be done for less the $150.  You will also be increasing your gas mileage and saving money, plus the added benefit of reduced pollution and the protecting of the environment.
