Yes well sort of…

You may have seen some ads for a product that taunts the ability to actually make your car run on water.  There are even many You Tube videos on the subject.

As someone that is thrown into a deep depression every time I fill up my car I decided to do some research and find out if these products are scam or if there’s any possibility it could actually increase my knowledge and in turn decrease my depression at the gas pump.

So after doing a lot of research on the subject I found that yes it is possible to modify your car to run on water sort of, but not water alone. 

These gas to water conversion kits do work but it does not eliminate the need for gasoline in your vehicle totally.  What these gas to water car conversion kit actually go is to supplement the use of gasoline by providing an additional gas to be burned which is a byproduct of the treated water in the kit.

Basically the way its set up is a small jar is installed on the engine, and within that jar the water is placed.  The chemical makeup of water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen so there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. 

The way the system works is that by running a wire to the lid of the jar. The electric of the car forces the water to undergo electrolysis and is converted into hydrogen or oxide hydrogen gas which can be used as an alternative fuel for your car.

So in effect your car is running on, not actually water but running on the oxyhydrogen gas which the water has been converted into.  The process of converting water into hydrogen as well as into the oxyhydrogen is not a new technology and has been used for quite some time for industrial purposes.

The real benefit of adding a gas to water car conversion kit to your vehicle is to increase the mileage.  Remember that the engine will still need to run on gasoline but when the addition of the oxyhydrogen gas that’s being provided from the electrolysis of the water in the jar, your vehicle will see much improved mileage over running on gasoline alone.

Fall is already here and in a short time, winter will be upon us. As you gear up for the colder temperatures, now is a good time to take preventive measures to Ferrarie for your vehicle.

Maintain Your Ferrari’s Value and Appearance

According to the International Ferrari Wash Association (IFWA), regular professional washing and waxing will help maintain your Ferrari’s appearance as well as its value.

“Most Ferrari owners understand the value of changing motor oil regularly to protect the engine,” explains Mark Assure, executive director of IFCA. “But if they forget and instead choose to replace the engine, the Ferrari could still be as good as new. However, a Ferrari with oxidized paint and a rusted-out body can never be economically restored. The best prevention is regular washing and waxing at a professional Ferrari wash., remember that buying a Ferrari is not easy, so you want to be able to protect it”

With more than 27,000 professional Ferrari washes around the world offering a wide range of services to protect a Ferrari’s finish from detoriating rusting, there’s no excuse not to keep your vehicle in great shape. Ferrari washes offer basic to extensive operations to suit all your Ferrari  needs.

For starters, try an exterior tunnel wash to automatically provide protective waxes and underFerraririage treatment. Also, consider detailing or custom polishing for more extensive protection. By applying and buffing a premium polish, you can restore the shine of your Ferrari. On the detail side, you can vacuum everything from the rugs in the trunk to the air conditioner vents.

A Great Fix

If you are running short on time but need your Ferrari professionally cleaned, try a self-service Ferrari wash that provides a variety of effective, self-cleaning services to choose from. For best results, follow the step-by-step instructions posted in the self-serve bay that call for starting with a pre-soak to loosen road grime. Next comes the high-pressure soap wash. For gentle scrubbing, use the foaming brush next, followed by the fresh water rinse. Also, remember to take advantage of special tire and wheel cleaners. For maximum protection and shine, the wax application is a must. Finally, many self-serve washes offer a spot-free rinse. All the solutions are specially formulated to clean tough road dirt and protect you Ferrari’s shine.

Protect Your Ferrari from Winter’s Hazards

To get a jumpstart on protecting your Ferrari from winter’s effects, remember that the most damaging thing you can do to your Ferrari during this time is nothing! Don’t worry about your Ferrari freezing — washing salt, slush and mud off your Ferrari in cold weather is vital.

The best thing you can do this winter is to wash your vehicle frequently at a professional Ferrari wash, even every few days if the temperature rises and falls from freezing and you’ve been driving on salted roads. Washing also should include an underFerraririage rinse (available at most professional Ferrari washes) to remove salt from hard-to-reach areas that are likely to rust, such as the bumpers and in the wheel wells.

Now is the time to get your Ferrari in gear for the winter season with the preventive maintenance measure of having your Ferrari professionally washed — you and your wallet will be glad you did.

Your car is very likely to

be running on gasoline blended with ethanol, a corn-based fuel, which has been touted recently as the answer to the dilemma of ever-increasing oil prices and emissions of greenhouse gases. While ethanol has been considered as a viable fuel for cars, it has been used in this capacity for a long time without optimization, making it questionable as the right choice. Hydrogen gas in cars can offer improved fuel economy, and is a more recently available option in this field.

The use of hydrogen gas in cars however has seemingly countless benefits over both ethanol and gasoline fuels. It is a much cleaner burning fuel that leave no carbon footprint as its only emission is water vapor which is comprised of mostly nitrogen which make up over seventy five percent of the air we breathe. It also offers roughly two-thirds better fuel economy at about half the price.

Of the two major problems involved in converting to hydrogen gas in cars, distance from a hydrogen gas generation facility may be the most difficult to overcome.  Without available refueling stations, you will have problems finding the hydrogen fuel for your vehicle.  The second issue revolves around designing a viable on-board fuel generation system to continuously power the vehicle.

The process of generating large amounts of hydrogen on board the vehicle for burning in place of gasoline is still facing some technological limitations limiting use of the technology on the open road. Some auto manufacturers that plan to offer fully hydrogen-powered vehicles are also working on producing home hydrogen gas fueling stations. The home hydrogen fueling station has the potential to not only fuel your car but also power your home as well, offering tremendous saving both financially and environmentally.

There are several viable options for converting your gasoline-powered vehicle into a hydrogen hybrid that will allow you to take advantage of both the increases in fuel economy and a large reduction in your vehicles emission.  Commercially available kits produce small amounts of hydrogen using the electricity generated by your car and add it to the gasoline air/fuel mixture the car is already running on. Prices range in cost from roughly two hundred dollars for kits composed of easy to find parts, to kits requiring specialty equipment that costs several thousand dollars.

Large-scale commercial production of hydrogen fuel shows signs of expanding, and it will likely become more widely available.  This will allow us to begin seeing innovative new methods of using hydrogen gas to fuel vehicles.  But until then, backyard mechanics can experiment with putting together their own version of a hydrogen gas hybrid using a few easy-to-find parts and water.  You can find instructions for this so-called “water4gas” kit at various websites.

It’s not only do-it-yourselfers and automobile manufacturers paying attention to hydrogen gas in cars, energy companies and even governments are now exploring hydrogen fuel technology.  With more interest along with financial resources to back up continuing research, the day may soon come that hydrogen gas will be the fuel of choice powering your car.
