Can you really run a car on water? Some say that's a flat-out scam, others say it's quite possible. With the high price of gas these days, this would be a true wonder car. But before you go adding water to your fuel tank, you need to learn the facts behind the technology.
The secret to adding water to a car for use as fuel, is to use a "kit" or "system." Water and gas can't mix, so these two items must be added to the engine separately. A special "kit" allows water to be converted to HHO, or "Brown's Gas," with the help of baking soda, potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. HHO was called Brown's Gas after Dr. Brown, who discovered this process in the 1960s.
Brown's Gas and gasoline mix together from two separate paths. HHO helps the gasoline to burn more efficiently by increasing octane and horse power. The source of electricity? Your car's battery, or a rechargeable solar battery powered by a solar panel (thin and aerodynamic), attached to the roof of your car.
Genepax, a Japanese company, has used water technology to successfully power a car. Using water fuel cells, Genepax created a car with an internal mechanism that breaks water down into hydrogen and oxygen, through a chemical reaction. However, detractors say, not so fast.
They say that every time there's an energy crisis, such alternative fuel vehicles make their appearance. And then they silently disappear, not to be heard from again. Some feel that's because there is a conspiracy to keep these cars off the market. Others say no such conspiracy exists -- the car simply didn't deliver on its promises.
The problem with many of these "alternative fuel" cars is that they simply exchange one source of fuel for another. That may be fine if the other fuel source is readily available and doesn't cost you an arm and a leg to buy. But often that's not the case. It may be a copyrighted or exclusive fuel source that could be even more expensive than the real thing. Or, if not more expensive, it could cause more of an energy drain on the economy to produce than gas itself. Can you spell "ethanol"?
Understandably, Genepax won't reveal the exact secret behind the technology for its water fuel car, but it did say that its "fuel cell stack" had a rated output of 120W and a fuel cell system with a rated output of 330W. Their car, if it manages to get into mass production, would retail for about U.S. $4,600.00. No, I didn't leave out a zero after the 4 -- that's actually what they said! We'll see how true to reality that price is, if indeed the vehicle makes it onto the market.
And a U.S company, Hydrogen Technologies Applications, say they too have combustion engines that run completely on their patented "Aquygen," or HHO. Steve Lusko, Project Manager, said that the company has already talked to a few auto companies about using the technology in their new vehicles.
