The United States of America is stepping up to the challenge to reduce America's dependency and addiction to Middle Eastern oil. We're looking ahead towards the future and spending the necessary funds in research and development at our top universities and private sector research and development companies. The Department of Energy, hydrogen car, has been an extreme help in giving the nation to the point that very soon we will not be dependent, hydrogen car, on putting gasoline and diesel fuel into our cars,,, hydrogen car, hydrogen car, SUVs and trucks.The Bush administration has set forth additional research and development dollars targeted at cutting-edge, state-of-the-art and innovative new technologies to accelerate the processes and efficiencies of "cellulosic ethanol" so that well within this decade we can grow our own fuel and delivered to market at a price comparable to that of gasoline and diesel fuel.Additionally, we find much government support, as well as much-needed funds to support new technologies such as extremely efficient better batteries for hybrids and electric cars and the granddaddy future of them all; hydrogen cell powered cars. Technology will solve the problems of pollution and our addiction to Middle Eastern oil. By doing this we will improve the health of America and our economy strong for future generations. I wish to thank the American entrepreneur, innovator and scientists. Also, hydrogen car, thank you President Bush."Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.

Life Without Oil?
Author: Patrick Sills

Since 1974 the burning, hydrogen car, question of how much oil the world has left in its reserves has never fully vanished from my thoughts. At that time I was a sophomore in high school, Richard Nixon was President, our country's involvement in Vietnam had come to a close, and eight-track tapes defined state-of-the-art audio technology. This was also the year that those of, hydrogen car, us in the U.S. experienced an oil shortage. Because of an embargo that I didn't, hydrogen car, fully comprehend, gas prices suddenly skyrocketed, resulting in long lines at service stations reminiscent, hydrogen car, of the days of rationing during World War II. A few years before this, I was in grade school and recalled reading in a science textbook that was probably ten years out of date even then that in the United States alone, there was enough oil to last for about five billion years. My family used to take frequent trips to Oklahoma and Texas in those days, and indeed there were oil wells down there as far as the eye could see. I was a ten-year-old kid and had no reason to dispute my science book, even if it was written before Sputnik was launched.But by 1974, during the "fuel, hydrogen car, crisis," as it was dubbed, suddenly there were geologists and others with expertise who claimed that the world's oil supply was limited and would be depleted in a matter of decades, not in five billion years. As a teenager I scoffed at these dire predictions, still relying on my science textbook from fifth grade, and in fact, around 1977 or so, when the price of a gallon of gas reached $1.00, there was no more talk of shortages. Johnny Carson even made a joke about it. I dismissed the whole thing as a greedy ploy by the oil companies to increase profits. So did a lot of others.But now as we fast-forward, hydrogen car, some thirty years there are thousands of pages devoted to the subject of the world's finite supply of oil. There is much debate and speculation regarding the amount we truly have left. There are those who say that there are vast quantities thus far untouched while others say the cost and energy requirements needed to extract these untapped sources is prohibitive, and their most optimistic guess is that we have about forty years of usable oil left. They almost unanimously believe that production will peak around 2010 or so and that the supply will dwindle rapidly thereafter. In fact there are those who say production has already reached its peak. This could make the nearly $3.00 in some locations we currently pay for a gallon of gas triple. So much for my old textbook.This raises some questions. I'm confident that carmakers will produce vehicles that run on whatever fuel eventually replaces gasoline and diesel, but thousands of classic and vintage cars have survived into the twenty-first century and there is no reason to believe that many examples of these won't survive indefinitely. Will clubs devoted to the preservation of vehicles from the past be limited to trailering their prized possessions a few decades from now behind hydrogen or solar-powered trucks to shows only for museum-like displays? If there is no fuel left, enthusiasts could no longer drive them. Cruises would be limited to new models of whatever make is represented and whatever propels them. Vendors who specialize in mechanical parts, hydrogen car, for old classics would no longer serve any purpose except for those dedicated few who would continue to perform 100% correct restorations despite the knowledge that they would never be able to be driven. Will we see classic cars modified to run on a different fuel? It's one thing to put unleaded gas into an old car originally intended to run on leaded gas, but quite another to change to an entirely different means of propulsion. Will this mean that previously Stock Class cars would be considered Modified at shows? If not, then the current definitions of Stock and Modified will have to be, well, modified. Let's not forget the later model cars that would become obsolete as well.I may not be around to witness, hydrogen car, these possible scenarios, but I pity those who are younger.

Mazda has, hydrogen car, recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of Mazda's first Wankel rotary engine powered vehicle. It was on May 30, 1967 that Mazda started selling the world's first dual-rotor RE car, the Cosmo Sport and ever since has produced almost two million rotary-engined vehicles.The first ever Wankel-engined auto was the NSU (now the famous Audi) Wankel Spider which was launched in 1964. Other automakers such Mercedes, Rolls-Royce, Norton, Suzuki, General Motors, Citroen, John Deere,, hydrogen car, and Arctic Cat have tried experimenting with the Wankel engine. Some were even able to produce small runs of the Wankel engine. However, the only successful manufacturer that was able to produce the engine designed by the German engineer Felix Wankel in quantities is Mazda.By end of the 1950s, many automakers around the world have dedicated considerable Research & Development resources for the production of the rotary engine (RE) however most have surrendered because they were unable to surpass the, hydrogen car, difficult technical, hydrogen car, challenges that comes with the technology. It was only Mazda that has persevered, hydrogen car, and eventually was able to overcome all the obstacles and successfully achieved RE mass production. Mazda was also able to introduce other RE vehicles into the market that includes the Familia Rotary Coupe, Savanna, RX-7, and the Eunos Cosmo. And of course knowing Mazda they have continuously developed the economy and environmental performance of their RE-engined vehicles that is why they are still selling them today. The maker of the famous Mazda header pipe, Mazda has started its involvement in motor sports in 1968 following the release of the Cosmo Sport when RE cars has started participating in car races. Then in 1991, the Mazda 787B made history with the rotary engine when it became the only Japanese car ever to claim victory at the Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race. And ever since over 100 win in both the touring car series in Japan and in the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) series in the United States was won by RE-equipped racecars. The RX-8 sports car, hydrogen car, that was launched last April of 2003 was powered by a new-generation, naturally aspirated RENESIS, hydrogen car, rotary engine which is more compact, more powerful, and more environmentally, hydrogen car, friendly, hydrogen car, than its predecessors. Britain's specialist technology magazine, Engine Technology International has awarded the RENESIS the most coveted International Engine of the Year award in 2003 as, hydrogen car, well as the successive awards for its engine class in 2003 and 2004 to show high regards for this engine. Presently, Mazda is progressing with its development of the hydrogen RE which gives off no carbon dioxide (CO2) one of the gases responsible for global warming. The development of the hydrogen RE started in 1991 and so far has resulted in the development of the RX-8 Hydrogen RE, which last February 2006 has became the world's first ever hydrogen RE vehicle to be commercially leased. There are seven hydrogen RE vehicles that under commercial lease traveling the road of Japan. About Wankel Rotary EngineThe Wankel rotary engine is a type of internal combustion engine, invented by German Engineer Felix Wandel, which uses a rotor instead of reciprocating pistons. Such design delivers smooth high-rpm power from a compact lightweight engine.

In 2006, deficit in the United States hit a record since Americans necessitate more goods from China, more oil from different foreign sources, hydrogen car, and greater vehicles from - JAPAN. Yes, Japanese automakers are significant factors that caused the 2006 US deficit.Said fact has fueled, hydrogen car, the Detroit's automakers as well as their allies, hydrogen car, to urge the Bush Administration to act on the matter with aggressive stance against the Japan's currency. This clamor is anchored on the fact that Detroit's automakers have been weakened by the Japanese car makers.According to the report released by Commerce Department, US deficit, hydrogen car, rose by 6.5 percent last year to $763.6 billion. It marked the fifth year in a row of deficit increases. The trade gap with China also rose 15 percent to $232.5 billion. Foreign oil reliance increased to $302.5 billion from $252 billion a year ago.With regards to vehicle importation, cars, trucks and auto parts accounted for $149.4 billion of 2006 US deficit. The figure, hydrogen car, is 6 percent more than the 2005 numbers. Auto parts importation from Japan also increased by 14 percent to $60.2 billion. The significant increase is attributed to the soaring sales of Japanese cars and trucks, which were up by 23 percent to 2.1 million vehicles. The leading automaker that boosted the deficit is Toyota Motor Corp. and its divisions - Lexus and Scion."The consequences of these persistent and massive trade deficits include not only failed businesses, displaced workers, lower real wages, and rising inequality, but also permanent devastation of our communities," said the letter from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Rep. Sander Levin, D-Royal Oak, among others.Toyota, the world's second largest automaker, is also the eighth largest company around the globe. Last year, the total revenue of the automaker amounted to $185 billion. This is one of the reasons why analysts in the industry predict that, hydrogen car, Toyota will take over General Motors' post as the world's largest carmaker any time this year. The goal of Toyota for 2007 is to produce 9.4 million vehicles to compete with GM's production.Toyota has established a solid reputation for quality around the globe. Aside from Japan and the United States, Toyota has built manufacturing and assembly plants in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Poland, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, France, Brazil, and recently Pakistan, India, Argentina, Czech Republic, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, and Philippines.The automaker has invested considerable amount of research into cleaner-burning, hydrogen car, vehicles like hybrids with its Hybrid Synergy Drive technology. Also, Toyota has successfully road-tested its new RAV4 powered by hydrogen fuel cell.Other Toyota divisions are also etching positive milestones in the industry. Its Lexus luxury brand, which was launched in the US in 1989, has expanded to Europe and Oceana. Lexus vehicles are sold in over 40 countries worldwide. The division, hydrogen car, is also working on improving its standing in the American auto market. J, hydrogen car, .D.

Multi Fuel Prototype Another First For Volvo
Author: Glady Reign
Source: articledashboard.com
Volvo has never failed to, hydrogen car, amaze customers with its exciting design concepts. And right now with its one engine, five fuels concept the world will once again marvel at the greatness of Volvo's technology. The latest prototype built by Volvo is designed to answer the alarming environmental concern of customers. And earlier the automaker has manufactured the prototype V70 that can run on five fuels and of which the majority are environment-friendly. Volvo is famous for its commitment in leading automotive milestone. As proof of this is its remarkable, hydrogen car, safety and ninety-degree body work that are marveled throughout the world. After all long years of being in the industry, Volvo has already established a name that exemplifies style, quality, cutting-edge design and unparalleled green technology. It should be noted that some Volvos feature PremAir technology. This is a radiator treatment that consumes ozone in contact resulting to a cleaner, fresher and more breathable atmosphere. Volvo has also launched its first V8 engine from Yamaha. This engine is said to be clean enough to make Volvo XC90 V8 as the only V8-powered, hydrogen car, vehicle in the world to meet the ULEV II emissions standards. And lately the automaker has been very busy trying to develop a vehicle that could compete in the Michelin Challenge Bibendum which is the world's leading automotive green-energy, hydrogen car, symposium. It is also in this, hydrogen car, very same symposium in which automakers parade their cream-of-the-crop environmentally friendly creation. For the previous symposium held in Shanghai, Volvo has presented its unique 3CC Concept, hydrogen car, Car which is a 2+1 seater electric car. This vehicle is capable of providing real-world performance, hydrogen car, and range. As a matter of fact, even car aficionados thought that Volvo will not be able to produce a vehicle that could surpass the border of the 3CC Concept. But as always, the automaker has proven them wrong when it presented its practical, family-friendly station wagon that runs on five different fuels---the Multi Fuel Prototype. The concept car was based on the production version of the V70 which is a station wagon. The distinct difference is in terms of the paint job since the Multi Fuel Prototype was painted in a vibrant electric yellow hue. And of course as expected it comes with a little Volvo surprise, hydrogen car, found under the hood. The fuels for the Multi Fuel Prototype includes standard gasoline, E85 (bioethanol), natural gas, biomethane,, hydrogen car, and hythane. From among the five fuels the hythane is the most interesting in the sense that it's a mixture of hydrogen and methane. It is also the most recent type of fuel blend introduced to the public. The hythane is composed of 10 percent hydrogen and 90 percent methane.Besides the ability to run on five different fuels, another notable feature of the Multi Fuel Prototype is its relatively consistent high-performance, hydrogen car, no matter what the fuel used. Volvo said that the turbocharged engine prototype is producing about 200 horsepower and sufficient enough to power up the wagon. The hythane together with the E85 (bioethanol) and CNG biomethane are considered extra-clean fuels, this is also one of the very reasons why the vehicle has been able to pass all existing emissions regulations imposed in any market at present. The automaker is also confident that its Prototype will be able to pass the upcoming EuroV emissions regulations. The mentioned fuels also possess qualities that can make them carbon neutral, hydrogen car, . What does it mean? It means that the amount of carbon emitted when the fuel is burned is equivalent to the amount acquired by the crops used to make the fuel.And here is another news! ---The Swedish luxury brand of Ford is also contemplating in converting its entire lineup into green cars. The S40 1.6D is just one the automaker's efficient production vehicle that consumes 48mpg of diesel. The emissions produced are fifteen to twenty percent lesser than an equivalently powerful gasoline, hydrogen car, model. The V50 which is a station wagon variant and available in Europe is a Flexi-Fuel model. The car can run using E85 bioethanol. By using bioethanol it generates approximately 80 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions as compared to gasoline. Another, hydrogen car, Volvo's green pride, hydrogen car, is the S60 B-Fuel which is powered by gasoline and biomethane. The biomethane reduced tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide by almost 25 percent as compared to gasoline fuel emissions.Volvo's green prides makes use of only the highest quality of auto parts starting from its large parts down to its teeny bit parts like the Volvo motor mount. Every Volvo vehicle that comes off the production line is a perfected work of art.

In the news: US subsidiary of Volkswagen is, hydrogen car, giving a high profile to vehicles with, hydrogen car, lower environmental impact at the Designing Sustainable Mobility Summit held at the Art Center College of Design in Southern California. At the summit designers and other transportation experts from various countries will share, hydrogen car, their ideas on how to make future mobility more environmentally attuned. In connection with this objective, Volkswagen has offered attendees and Art Center students the chance to experience driving VW models that are equipped with only the top-of-the-line Volkswagen parts like the popular Volkswagen ignition coil and have engines specially designed to run on biodiesel, ultra low sulfur diesel and hydrogen. These VW models have highly efficient gasoline engines that are perfect for cruising on public roads. By allowing participants of the Summit to drive some of the very technologies that they are pursuing makes it more meaningful and at the same time boosts awareness on the importance of environmentally friendly vehicles. According to Ron Cogan editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal which is hosting the Summit's ride and drive, "It's important to demonstrate, hydrogen car, that raising the bar in such important areas as fuel efficiency and emissions reduction isn't just accomplished with exotic or future-oriented technologies. Volkswagen's demonstrating of its clean diesel and twin charger engines provide real-world examples of environmentally positive technologies that are operating on highways today."For the Summit's ride and drive, Europe largest automaker is fielding a Touareg V10 TDI running on B5 biodiesel which is a mixture of conventional ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel and renewable biodiesel. Diesel fuel that includes a mix of biodiesel burns cleaner and help displace fossil fuel use which contributes to energy diversity. Volkswagen has also extended, hydrogen car, its warranty protection to its models operating on B5 biodiesel to encourage more customers to use a cleaner fuel.In addition an advance preview of the twin charger gasoline engine Jetta which is still in development is also being offered. The Jetta's TSI engine would provide higher power output derived from a smaller displacement engine and at the same time achieve greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions. The TSI is famous in Europe and now being considered for distribution in the US. The TSI also makes use of a supercharger to give its engine that extra boost at lower, hydrogen car, rpms while its exhaust, hydrogen car, driven turbocharger provides mid-range rpms or higher. Also presented at the Summit, hydrogen car, was Volkswagen's Touran HyMotion hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that does not only embodies the automaker's interest in zero-emission fuel but also showcases the company's breakthrough high temperature fuel cell. The zero-emission fuel is the result, hydrogen car, of a decade long hydrogen vehicle development that produces a more compact, lighter, and more durable fuel cell system. This technology is expected to make fuel cell powertrains more economical making mass production, hydrogen car, in the future possible. The environmentally adept vehicles and activities that Volkswagen is sponsoring simply show the company's commitment in protecting and preserving, hydrogen car,, hydrogen car, nature. And because of the company's dedication in pursuing a "greener and safer" world, Volkswagen of America was named the "Industry's most environmentally friendly automaker" by the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Alternative Powertrain Study. Volkswagen has also received the EU Commission's European Business Award for the Environment for its innovative SiCon recycling process.

Economics of Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Hydrogen is the most perspective, hydrogen car, energy source to be used in future probably and thus economics of hydrogen fuel cells is quite an important issue today. This paper targets the above issue and considers the following aspects: opportunity cost factors, supply and demand, role of government and impact on USA taxes concerned with economics of hydrogen fuel cells. United States of America is the largest energy consumer in the world - it spent hundreds billion dollars on oil production and consumption,, hydrogen car, research and innovation in order to provide energy supply for the nation. But this money could be spent for the rapid research of hydrogen fuel cells and possibly give a good result in the form of cheap and effective technologies. This is an example of opportunity cost or the cost of a forgone, hydrogen car, opportunity. Of course it is very difficult to make a more or less, hydrogen car, precise assessment of the opportunity cost concerning the oil and hydrogen energy sources in financial terms and that is why such, hydrogen car, assessment is not used in economics. But why is opportunity cost issue is so important and why it is raised ultimately? To answer these questions it is necessary to understand that growing needs of our society can not be satisfied because of lack of resources. Modern technologies allow to produce energy by extracting oil from the deepest, hydrogen car, entrails and of course such production, hydrogen car, is more expensive. Despite of growing prices on energy the demand grows also and increased demand increases prices even more. One day most people just could not afford using oil as a primary source of energy and it, hydrogen car, will result in economic crisis if another energy sources would not be mastered. For this reason scientists search new energy sources taking into consideration its price, availability and cleanness. Demand on one or another energy source depends on consumers' income, tastes, wealth, inflationary expectations and future expectations. It means that hydrogen will be purchased only by those people who can afford it, who like it (from the point of ecology, convenience, prevalence etc), who need it (e.g. to fill up a car powered by hydrogen) etc. If there would be, hydrogen car, a clear and marked trend to use hydrogen as the energy of future the demand would also increase because people would buy hydrogen powered cars and need fuel. Supply of hydrogen is affected by the following non-price factors: availability of resources and production techniques - if technology would be not too expensive but effective and based on the resources which are available in abundance then supply will be significant and vice versa; taxes and subsidies - if the government would establish very high tax rate on production or distribution of hydrogen then such business will not be profitable and fetching, in the opposite subsidies, hydrogen car, and low tax rate will, hydrogen car, cause supply increase by attracting investors.Government plays important role in the economics of hydrogen fuel cells. First of all government finances its own research programs on effective technologies of production, transportation and storage of hydrogen. By the way modern technologies allow quite affordable hydrogen, hydrogen car, production but the storage and transportation, hydrogen car, technologies are too expensive and it makes hydrogen not so attractive and perspective. In order to get new effective technologies government should stimulate commercial researchers and producers by instituting prizes, granting subsidies and lax credits, decreasing tax rates and providing discounts for them. In addition government can draw together the researchers and give them a basis for cooperation by organizing scientific conferences on the fuel, hydrogen car, issuer etc. Another way how a government can stimulate hydrogen research and application is by regulating tax rates on oil and gas production. High tax rate will cause a desire to use another energy sources and consequent research programs. Low tax rates will make no difference to energy producers so far.Burning hydrogen is considered to be ecologically clean but its production is concerned with atmospheric pollution and this in turn requires regulation on governmental and legal basis, in other words, the allowed pollution amounts must be determined by the international law. In addition, the world community is not aware of all effects of burning and producing hydrogen processes and future researches may reveal new facts of pollution or other harmful effects and thus the law should make certain restrictions and limitations in accordance to which hydrogen producers are subjects to licensing and active government regulation.Aaron Schwartz is a writer at Custom Essays Writing Network.

Cleaning Car Upholstery
Author: Jean Feingold
Source: articleage.com
These days people, hydrogen car, use their cars as floating living rooms and dining rooms as they drive around. This means that all kinds of things can get spilled on a car's upholstery. When this happens, you've probably wondered how to clean car upholstery. Once you know how to clean car upholstery, you'll enjoy your travels more.
Here are ideas on dealing with some of the most common problems. Using these simple tips will show you how to clean car upholstery to your satisfaction. Note that these techniques are for use on cloth upholstery. Other methods are needed for leather.
Removing common stains
All that eating and drinking in the car can result in stains from liquids. The first step is to blot the spill and absorb all excess liquid. Then apply an upholstery cleaner available from your local auto parts store. Spray a small amount of cleaner on your car upholstery and wait a few minutes. Scrub the stain a little with an old tooth brush. Then dry the soiled area with a, hydrogen car, clean cloth. Repeat until you no longer see the stain and the cloth you are using to dry the area shows no discoloration. If the stain is small, shaving cream may do the trick instead of commercial cleaner.
If ink stains, hydrogen car, your car seat, do not rub the stain as this can smear the ink and make the stain larger. Start by carefully blotting the area to remove any excess ink. Spray a small amount of hairspray on the stain and let it sit a few minutes. Take clean dry towels and wipe the area. Repeat as needed but use, hydrogen car, the minimum amount of cleaner necessary. Change your wiping cloths frequently to prevent soiling the material from cross contamination. Rubbing alcohol can also be used to clean ink on car upholstery.

To remove lipstick stains from your car's upholstery, try rubbing gently with a white, non-gel toothpaste. Then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
If there is a battery acid stain, rub a paste of baking soda and water into the spot right away. Leave this on for two hours and then wipe it off with a damp cloth. Repeat, hydrogen car, if any stain remains. Any remaining residue can be cleaned with a commercial upholstery cleaner. As an alternative, you can make your own cleaner by mixing 1/2 teaspoon liquid dishwashing detergent, hydrogen car, in a quart of warm water. Beat this with a mixer and clean the upholstery using only the suds. Work on a small area at a time, overlapping areas to avoid spotting. Change the rinse water frequently to keep it clean. Let dry thoroughly.
To remove a gasoline stain from your car's interior, treat the stain with a mixture of one teaspoon each of vinegar and mild dish detergent in a quart of warm water. The vinegar will remove the odor while the detergent, hydrogen car, does the cleaning. Let the area dry. If any spotting remains, you may need to repeat the process. If this does not seem to be working, try using dry cleaning solvent.
If you have children, they may play with crayons in the car and may get some on the upholstery. To remove crayon marks, first scrape the excess crayon off with a dull-edge knife or metal spoon. Spray with WD-40 and let stand a few minutes. Using a small, stiff bristled brush, work on the crayon stain and then wipe the area with paper towels. Respray with WD-40 and apply liquid dishwashing detergent on the sprayed area. Work this material in with the brush and then wipe the stain away, hydrogen car, with a, hydrogen car, damp sponge. If any stain remains, repeat the procedure.
To remove mold, mildew and their odor from upholstered auto seats, products with peroxide and detergents will restore the car interior. This both removes the stain and deactivates the odor. Simply spray a citrus, hydrogen car, cleaner product on the soiled area. Wait about five minutes for it to penetrate. Using a clean white absorbent cloth, blot the area, pressing down firmly without, hydrogen car, rubbing for 30 seconds. Repeat this blotting process until the area is dry. If the stain or odor persists, repeat the process, hydrogen car, . As an alternative, you could create a cleaning mixture by combining 1/4 teaspoon of color safe bleach and 1/4 cup of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. With a clean cloth, gently, hydrogen car, rub the stain until it is gone. Rinse the area with clear, warm water and dry thoroughly.
Clean upholstery helps your car keep its value
By keeping your car upholstery clean not only will it look better, it will also last longer. Nice looking upholstery maintains the value of your car. If your upholstery is stained or damaged beyond cleaning, replacement seat covers are available for most cars and trucks. People who know how to clean car upholstery won't have to go to the expense of buying those replacements since their cars' interiors will look like they just came from the showroom.

And it is indeed possible today to run cars on water. Ozzie Freedom Water4gas is one such guide that can teach you how, hydrogen car, to convert, hydrogen car, your car to run on water and he claims the materials needed are readily available and just about anyone can do it without the need for an engineering degree. So does Water4gas work? Water4gas is one of those simple easily useable fuels with readily installable fuel convertible engines available in the market it has taken a up right notch in its application but the question is does it really work? So here is a simple sequence of steps that explain the actual procedure in which it works The entire process is based on a simple quart sized container of volume 950 mm which is installed into the engine somewhere near the engine and is filled with normal water and some additional supplements of baking soda and this whole, hydrogen car, set derives electrical energy from the engine which is a mere 12 volts only. Now due to electrolysis, the water molecules are split up into HHO gas which is a mixture of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen components which when burnt can act as an efficient fuel and has the capability of burning any thing that it comes into contact with its melting, hydrogen car, point. Another advantage is that since almost 99% of the fuel that is being used is being burned efficiently, the amount of reside is very less in fact negligible. Well coming back to the process, the HHO gas is sent into the carburetor where the electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy. The actual work detail instructions are provided in the guide and they have been many success stories.

The Admiral toured the amalgam accumulation band and addressed added than 300 advisers about the role American technology and accession will play in carrying, hydrogen car, activity, hydrogen car, aegis, hydrogen car, to the country.
Bush thanked advisers for getting allotment of the band-aid to the country's activity issues by architecture amalgam and E85 vehicles. "Technology changes the way we accept lived our lives and technology is traveling to change the way we drive our cars," added Bush. "You're authoritative a new affectionate of auto that is actually a allotment of alteration, hydrogen car, America for the better."
Alan Mulally, the admiral and CEO of Ford, accustomed Admiral Bush to the Kansas bulb and thanked him for advancing to see contiguous how the automaker is carrying avant-garde technology cars to abode altitude change, hydrogen car, and activity security. "Ford stands accessible to plan with the Administration and Congress to abate our nation's assurance on adopted oil," Mulally said.
