Converting A Car to Run On Water - What's The Truth?

By: Steven De Gracia

With oil prices rising everyday, and no limit seen in sight, it seems high time that people as a whole began serious discussion of alternative fuels and more efficient use of the fuel that we do have. The problem is that for a number of reasons, valid information has been blocked and kept out of the public eye for too long. Converting a car to run on water is just a small example. Now, before you throw the laws of thermodynamics around and tell me it is an impossibility, I want to assure you that the vehicle will not run on water, rather water will be utilized to make the engine more efficient. Considering the average gasoline engine only achieves approximately 20% efficiency, there is plenty of room for improvement, and any improvement translates directly to money saved at the pump.

So, you are probably wondering if converting a car to run on water is an actual possibility. In order to understand how it could work, you first have to understand how an internal combustion engine works. An internal combustion engine relies on compression of atmospheric air to burn gasoline in the combustion chamber. The pressure wave caused by the expansion of the combustion by-products are what drive the piston up. The movement of the piston is what turns a crank shaft which is translated into circular motion of the axles. During this series of events, a lot of energy is lost in the form of heat and sound, and even more energy is lost in the form of incompletely burnt gasoline. This is where the catalytic converter comes in. The catalytic converter actually burns the unburnt fuel that escapes along with the exhaust. If you were following along closely, you would realize that the average gas engine actually expends more energy burning the unburnt fuel that was meant to drive the car. Not efficient at all! It is no wonder the average fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine is only 20%.

The important question now is, how can we as the consumers who are getting the short end of the stick modify these inefficient engines to gain more out of the precious gasoline we pay top dollar for everyday. We could invest in expensive hybrid vehicles, and yes, we would save some money. The problem is that the hybrids are rather expensive and would take years for us to get the return on investment. The other option is modifying the engines we already have in our inefficient vehicles to get higher fuel efficiency. Converting a car to run on water is exactly what this is about.

Through an electrolytic process, we sap some of the engines power in the form of electrical energy to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen. We then feed these two gases into the air intake. The result is a better oxygen fuel ratio and a more complete burn. The increased efficiency and savings are a by-product of a more efficient burn, not from the power derived from the hydrogen and oxygen itself.

Now that you know what converting a car to run on water is all about, it is time you did your own research. Become well informed, and reap the rewards in fuel savings!

  • How to make Bio Diesel By: Peter Ryan - It feels great to fill up your vehicle with inexpensive, clean, renewable, non-foreign fuel! Bio diesel reduces pollution up to 90% because it has no sulphur in it and adds almost no carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Bio Diesel comes from plants that take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and release oxygen. The plants convert the carbon dioxide to oil so when the oil is burned and carbon dioxide is released, it is a small net increase of carbon dioxide. Because it comes from plants it is renewable.

  • Accident Prevention Technology - Parking Sensors and Reversing Cameras By: Neil MacLeod - Statistically, the odds are that at some point in your life you have already, or will be involved in automobile accident while parking or backing up your vehicle. These types of automobile collisions are the most common and ironically the most preventable of all types of automobile accidents and just because they are low mph collisions, doesn't necessarily mean it is inexpensive to repair the damages that are caused by them.

  • How to drive green without burning a hole in your pocket By: Kian Wee Lim - Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. Scientists vary in opinions on when the actual occurrence would be. Optimistic estimations of peak production forecast the global decline will begin by 2020 or later. Pessimistic predictions of future oil production operate on the thesis that either the peak has already occurred, we are on the cusp of the peak, or that it will occur shortly.

  • Does PDR work ? By: Steven Magill - PDR stands for paintless dent repair. It's a craft that you can learn and it will, once you have mastered the skill, be a way for you to earn a very nice income. You will be able to remove those dings from car doors, and other small dents that you will find around the automobile. This doesn't take long if you are experienced at doing it. It normally takes 10 to 20 minutes and is very inexpensive, since there is no product to buy. PDR is becoming the alternative to body shops.
