The disturbing fact;

The world consumes more than enough oil to fill an entire Olympic sized swimming pool....

....every fifteen seconds!!!!

Alternative fuels... a necessity? 

Just what is involved here?

Alternative fuels... sounds like a lot of work, right? The good news is that it doesn't have to be. But is there a real need to look for other sources of energy?

Well, how are we enjoying the prices of gas today, eh? Yeah, yeah, I know - stupid question.

And what do you think about all the political ramifications attached to it all? Our addiction to foreign oil has become more than just a small threat to our national security, as we all know.

Also, what should be on the forefront of our minds seems to be on the "back burner" of our thoughts, in light of the previous statement. That would be the effects of our fuel consumption on the environment.

This is why I've decided to take some research that I've done in this field, and provide some real eye-opening information on this subject here.

Please read this through carefully, and you'll see what I mean.

The state of the problem as it stands... 

Here's some appalling information to start with;

The world consumes enough oil to fill an OLYMPIC SIZE SWIMMING POOL....

Hydrogen Power 

But are hydrogen fueled vehicles safe?

Now, somewhere along the line, someone got the idea of making cars that run on hydrogen - the emissions of burning this fuel being nothing more than water.

In the 30 second video below, we can see one of the new BMWs that have been designed for this.

The hydrogen powered BMW 

The emissions are pure water.

Getting a brand new car is quite a long way to go to save on gas, and isn't quite the easy answer I would suggest - but this subtopic fits in with this discussion, and helps make a point. Take a look at this half-minute commercial from BMW;

So hydrogen cars are now pretty much a reality. 

But at what cost?

Now the car in the above video is quite a wonderful idea, if you want to pay for it... but the cost is far more than mere money.

However, first let's consider the money - they plan to have the starting price for this baby to be somewhere above $150,000.00.

FREAKIN' OUCH!!

And then you've got to pay for the hydrogen! Just what will the price tag be on that??

Worse yet, is that the whole industrial process of mass producing hydrogen on a commercial scale can be even more damaging and poisoning to the environment!

Then there's the dangers of having pressurized trucks carrying this volatile gas from place to place, and also the pressurized hydrogen tank in the car itself.

All this aside, it is a wonderful and noble achievement - but to go so far when much simpler solutions already exist?

Something about the way we are going about all of this seems a mite like swatting a fly with a Howitzer.

I mean, what's next? A nuclear skateboard?

A sound solution, or a safety hazard? 

Hey, wait a minute - doesn't hydrogen... EXPLODE?

Pure hydrogen stored under pressure in the tank of your car - sounds like you'd be driving around in a personal H-bomb. This isn't something I'd imagine anyone feeling comfortable picking the kids up from school in.

Yet the big corporations investing huge capital into this venture continue to assure us that it is clean, safe and environmentally friendly.

The car's use of hydrogen might be environmentally friendly, but not the large scale industrial production of the fuel.

Of course, if there's big money in it, even poison would be defended by corporate shareholders as "unharmful" - just think of the tobacco industry.

Though, I have to admit... it *is* a very clean burning fuel, the emissions are nothing but water, and I generally love the whole idea, myself, truth be told.

It's just that I can't help imagining getting into an accident, and blowing me, the car, the other cars within the general vicinity, and that whole entire section of roadway clear off the face of the map - leaving nothing behind but a HEE-YUGE glowing crater of instantly-created, foot-thick molten glass as hot as the core of the freakin' sun.



I'm sorry, but no-one can tell me that that would be downright impossible, and convince me.

I mean, come on - it's HYDROGEN GAS... not a liquid, not a gel, not some designer isotope - HYDROGEN freakin' GAS.



Compressed into a PRESSURIZED TANK.

Enough said.

Safer hydrogen useage - WATER POWERED VEHICLES. 

Really? A car that runs on water?

There is work being done for the development of using water as fuel, extracting the hydrogen from it on demand, as it is needed, instead of storing pressurized tanks of it.

Go back and read that again - THAT is a good and safe way to have a car run on hydrogen.



But development for a production model car of this type for the public is slow going... and it's no wonder, considering there wouldn't be much long-term money to be made by the fuel industries - anyone could get their fuel for free.

It would seem that if we want to use any of these fuel options, we would either have to work hard to convert our engines (or pay a lot for another to do it for us), or spend a lot of time and money on bulky equipment to process fuels, such as ethanol or biodiesel, ourselves at home.

There really should be another way.

Ethanol and Biodiesel - brilliant and wonderful solutions... 

...but how much is involved in using these?

Now, we've heard of ethanol, a fuel made from corn - cheap and powerful stuff indeed, and environmentally friendly... it shows great promise for our future.

We've also heard of biodiesel, which also seems to do extremely well, and is very, very inexpensive to use. Like ethanol, this is also a very Earth-friendly solution.

But neither of these fuels are yet produced on a large enough scale, commercially, to be readily available at filling stations for nationwide public use (some limited areas have stations set up with these fuels in mixed forms with gasoline, often called "gasohol").

This requires that we get personally involved in the production of these fuels, with tanks and tubes and such - effectively running our own personal refinery.

It is a noble task indeed, after all, but who really has the time or the resources?

Very few of us indeed - so what's to be done about this?

We need a better, no-fuss solution.

So... engine conversion, or home processing? 

Isn't there a better way?

Actually, the answer to that is a resounding YES - there IS a better way. And it's way simpler than you might think... certainly much simpler than a complete engine conversion, or home processing fuel.

There is actually next to nothing needed to be done - just a minor little tweak. First, let's examine the fuel we're using right now - gasoline.

Probably the most terrible failing of gasoline, is that it is burned with such an unbelievable inefficiency.



In truth, nearly 80% of the energy released (yep, that much!!), instead of being converted into forward motion, is instead LOST, being converted into pollution, carbon deposits (that is, unburned fuel - which clogs and damages your engine, which increases wear and diminishes performance), poisonous emissions (global warming), vibration and noise.

Holy crap!!

Eighty freakin' percent!!



But what if we could supercharge the efficiency of gasoline and double or even triple our MPG, while drastically decreasing emissions *and* our dependency on foreign oil?

And what if we could do all of this without changing our engines around?

Can this really be done?

THE PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE ATTACKED; 

The top five....

* INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF GASOLINE'S BURN - we need to beef it up from a pitiful 20% to 85% or better.

* INCREASE MPG - beefing up the burn, we can experience a doubling or tripling of MPG.

* DECREASE EMISSIONS - with a more efficient burn, we can drastically decrease the impact on our environment.

* DECREASE WEAR ON THE ENGINE - more efficient fuel burn means less carbon deposits in the engine, which in turn means less wear and tear, and a stronger, smoother, and quieter performance.

* DO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT - rearranging our engines and jeopardizing our vehicle's warranty or our auto insurance.

FACT:

The math is simple - 55-60% of the oil the US uses is imported - 80% of gasoline is wasted as it burns inefficiently in our vehicles... if we boost the efficiency of our fuel, we can *eliminate* our dependency on foreign oil... NOW.

FINALLY, the solution - HHO 

Water split in three...

Here's where I came across the name of Denny Klein in my research. It seems that this guy had invented a new way of welding (yep, stay with me on this one), which would do away with the need for oxy-acetylene, using instead, water - creating HHO.

By using electrolysis, he changed H2O (a LIQUID molecule of 1 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atoms), to HHO (separating the liquid molecule into a GAS, composed of 1 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atoms).



HHO is also known as Brown's gas, or Hydroxy. When burned off, it reconverts back to nothing but pure H2O - *water*.

He then realized that this technology could be used for his car, and tested his theory out, with astounding results.

For an eye-opening explanation, please check out this short video below;

The guy who burnt water... 

...and used it to beef up his gasoline.

Pay particular special attention to when he uses the torch with HHO while holding the welder tip near the flame, and also when the flame turns back into water as he shows it building up on the surface of a metal plate - THAT is freaky!!

Tried, tested and proven. 

A long burried technology.

Now the fact is, Denny didn't actually invent this long-suppressed technology - it's been around for the past 90-100 years, truth be told, but he has adapted it for these specific uses (welding, and running his car), and has brought it to fruition.

Denny found a way to use HHO to shoot the efficiency of gasoline's burn through the roof! By producing a tiny bit of HHO and introducing it into the fuel/air mix in the piston chambers, gasoline burns much more efficiently, less is needed, your engine performs better - and cleaner, MPG doubles, even triples, and the list of benefits goes on.

Imagine seeing today's gas prices, and knowing that you need only pay about 1/3 of that price per gallon.



Now, while we can see that we don't necessarily need to change our fuel per se, I have heard that some people do use this in conjunction with other fuels such as biodiesel, so even if you wanted to go that far, this is a very beneficial technology.

But at least we can know that if we didn't want to rearrange our engine or produce our own home-made fuels, we could still just use gasoline with our engine just the way it is, and effectively kick gas prices right square in the... uh,... refineries!!

*ehe* :P

LOL

Mobile Magazine says...

"HHO provides the atomic power of Hydrogen, while maintaining the chemical stability of water."

More boom for your buck... 

More powerful than pure hydrogen, and yet... safer!

The amazing fact is that HHO is much more powerful than pure hydrogen, however, the way it is extracted from water through electrolysis on demand - that is, in tiny amounts as the engine's needs call for it - it is completely and utterly safe!

After all, why have a pressurized tank full of compressed, pure hydrogen... when it's already "compressed" in plain water, and can safely and easily be released in a more powerful form?

Now let's examine how this all works...

Making HHO... 

It's all done with electrolysis.

We all might have seen this done in school, or on some kid's science TV show like Beakman's World, or Bill Nye the Science Guy (remember them?)... an electrical charge sent through water separates the H2O into hydrogen and oxygen.

Using coiled wire, you get much more energy from a smaller charge, due to the spiraling electromagnetic fields, than you would with using plates (which would require a much larger charge input).

Take a look at the 29 second video below to see this in action - this *tiny* bit of charge, is producing a LOT of HHO!

Feel the fizz! 

Dat's where it izz!

From one liter of water, you can extract 1,800 CUBIC FEET of HHO!!

For an averaged sized car, in average driving conditions, that is enough to last for NINE MONTHS!!

Full combustion of fossil fuels.... 

....and the emissions are nearly 100% water.

When HHO is used in conjunction with gasoline, it aids the gasoline's combustion so that build up in your engine is nonexistent... it actually steam cleans your engine.

Knocking and pinging are eliminated.

Also, the emissions are quieter, cooler, cleaner, and are almost completely composed of water.



Cheap, efficient gasoline.... NO WAR REQUIRED

A test run on two cars. 

Look at this example;

Here, we can see the system at work - notice when this person puts a piece of plastic near the exhaust, and see the water build up on the surface... and look when he puts his hand at the tail pipe - the emissions are not hot at all.

No smoke whatsoever - just mist.

Also notice how smoothly and quietly the engine is running. Very interesting, eh?

The scramble to sell the system.... 

....mudslingers rant, and unfounded rumors fly.

The coolest thing about this invention, is that THERE IS APPARENTLY NO PATENT ON IT!! The originator of today's most up-to-date and most popular design decided that this idea should make it to the public as fast as possible, so the design remains pretty much public domain! And so, many people have jumped on the opportunity to make a lot of money selling these things.

The bad part is that every unprofessional gold digger and his brother is on this marketing trip, and this has resulted in much mudslinging against eachother, and the quality of their products.



I've looked into a countless number of companies who have put this system out there for the public, and none comes close to a certain one that I have found (I'm almost certain you've heard of them already - more on this in a bit).

Funny thing is, while they seem to be the originator of the most popular design out there (perfected by Ozzie Freedom/created by Bill Lang, Gulf Laboratories, Florida), they receive the lion's share of the mudslinging from others - because the original (from whom most of the others had gotten their idea) has the best designs to offer.

This first company had sold the plans, and allowed others to resell this technology, in order for it to more quickly reach the general public masses. Now it seems everyone is mudslinging eachother's works to gain more customers for themselves.

It seems that people have lost their grasp on the most important idea here - to spread this technology to the people, not merely to make a buck. So the rumors fly.



For instance, some of these others have claimed that this one founding company deals shoddy (even "unsafe") merchandise, saying they use glass jars which are a hazard, and that they easily explode.

Okay, there are three things wrong with this claim;

#1 - They don't sell the completed system... they sell the complete plans to build it, and use glass jars as an illustration and an inexpensive optional suggestion, but also suggest using many other materials as well.

#2 - The thick canning jars used by most everyone (just look around YouTube) have never "just broke"... they're as durable as needed, and even more so.

#3 - There is no pressure inside the jars, and the liquid isn't explosive - it's water - and as the gas is produced in small increments, it is sucked out into the engine by the vacuum created, and as the system is connected through the ignition, it is only functioning while the engine is running.



Scare tactics are among the lowest forms of mudslinging.

Intelligence is the key here.

If I have the choice to listen to what some unprofessional slacker in an old beer/sports sweatshirt writing on his wall has to say, using mudslinging on YouTube to beg people to visit his HHO website, OR....

....listen to an established professional company with years of experience, a network of teams updating the state of the art, and thousands of verifiable satisfied customers worldwide....

Well, really now - who would YOU listen to?

But I digress....

Federal law mandates....

....that the IRS award money to all those using green technologies to run their cars, whether for business or private use!

You do this for your country.... 

....now your country does this for you.

The company mentioned above who wants this technology in the hands of the public, is called "Water4Gas".

I will supply a link to their website towards the end of this page, and if you use that link to get these plans to build your HHO system, I will give you some very cool software bonuses - but more on that in a minute.



What the founder, Ozzie, has included with his plans, among many other things, are all the proper forms to fill out and send to the IRS to receive your government monetary award for using green technologies to help the fuel consumption crisis we suffer today.

Depending on whether you drive a small car or a large truck, this can be anywhere from many hundreds, to quite a few thousand dollars.



Also included are 12 other plans to build 12 different systems for running your car on not gas, but 100% water.

The plans for the main HHO system covers any and all variations for whatever you happen to be driving, and are extremely simple, so that you don't need to be a mechanic to put it together - you basically only need a pair of pliers, and a couple of hours in an afternoon to assemble it, and about five minutes to install it.

He also includes lists of resources (online and offline) for the most inexpensive materials available out there for putting this system together, and also dealerships in your area who have ready-made systems waiting to be installed, or, if you'd rather, have them install them for you.

The Water4Gas website has tons of valuable information, and the entire page is an excellent, educating read. When you get there, you'll see what I mean.
