Fuel Cell Power

There are many valid reasons to start looking for alternative fuels for your car. There is the looming danger of global warming, and of course, the most pressing as of the moment, the current global economic downturn. It is for these reasons that many people are looking for ways to lower their spending on fuels. While it may take more than just decades to totally eradicate the use of fossil fuels, there are existing technologies today that can help anyone improve the fuel economy of their car and extend the gas mileage per gallon.

Once of the more noteworthy technologies out there is Hydro Assist Fuel Cell (HAFC). HAFC is a combination of tested principles in the tradition of fuel saving technologies. It is available today, not merely available ‘years from now’ as others might lead you to believe.

Think of your car as an energy factory. It uses fuel in the engine to create energy that is transferred to the wheel that makes the car go. It also creates electrical energy from the alternator and the battery. HAFC rides on the energy created by the engine from the fuel to make the system more efficient.

HAFC technology works this way: workers extract a hydrogen-oxygen rich mixture from water by ionizing it with electricity from the battery. This energy rich gas (hydrogen-oxygen) is called Brown’s gas.

Brown’s gas extracted from water enriches the fuel mixture, allowing you to pump less fuel into the engine but get the same if not greater amount of burn, thus improving your vehicle’s gas mileage.

The HAFC system also uses powerful magnets to ionize the gasoline to break it down to its component molecules, allowing it to burn more rapidly and cleanly. It is a common mistake that gas burns. Gas does not burn, and what burns is the vapor that is on the surface of the gas. In unmodified engines, the fuel injector turns the gas into a fine mist. If this fine mist were to be turned actually into gas, and the components broken down to make it burn more, you will get a more explosive mixture, meaning more power, and less emissions, using less fuel. That is why cars that run on Liquefied Petroleum Gas are more economical, the fuel the reaches the engine is in gas form, easily burned and gives off less smoke.

Many studies have been made and claim that the HAFC system can produce gas savings of a minimum of 50%. This is a dramatic increase in mileage and fuel economy; though of course one can expect the savings to vary from vehicle to vehicle depending on the engine condition and the road usage the vehicle is subjected to.

What makes the HAFC System unique and special is that it will work on all current existing internal combustion engines. Unlike conversions to LPG fuel, there will be no need for major modifications, only added components that will not even add burden to the car. It is also compatible with other emerging technologies such as Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter technology, which should up the fuel savings even more.

Basically, a fuel cell converts the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water and in the process it produces electricity. It is similar to another electrochemical device with which we are very familiar with – the battery. A battery has all of it’s chemicals stored inside and it converts those chemicals into electricity, the battery eventually goes dead and it is necessary to either re-charge it or after awhile it is defunct and needs to be thrown out. With a fuel cell, the chemicals constantly flow into the cell so it never goes dead. The fuel cell creates a direct current voltage that can be used to power motors and electrical appliances. If the fuel source is not pure hydrogen, then the appliance in which the fuel cell is contained will require a reformer. A reformer transforms hydrocarbon into hydrogen, however they also produce heat and other gases, some of which are harmful to the environment. In addition, the necessity of a reformer will decrease efficiency, with the result that researchers are concentrating on pure hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, despite challenges associated with hydrogen production and storage. The hydrogen fuel cell is the way of the future but there are still a few hurdles which need to be negotiated. Firstly, the fuel cell is expensive mainly due to the current use of platinum for the metal catalysts, researchers need to seek alternatives to cut down costs. Secondly, the proton exchange membranes need to be made more durable than they currently are to withstand higher and indeed lower temperatures. Thirdly, there must be a comprehensive infrastructure implemented which would include pipelines, truck transport, fuelling stations and hydrogen generating plants.

The way things are going with this nation’s finances, most people can barely afford to drive to work. The bright light of our economy is growing dimmer by the day while food and gasoline prices are rising rapidly. You can seek out ways to save money on your groceries, but what about your gasoline budget? The best thing you can do to help save money on gas is to install a DIY water fuel cell kit.

This amazing invention offers the average consumer a way to beat the high price of gasoline that is plaguing the world right now. It allows you to change your car’s fuel system so that it can use plain tap water as the primary source of fuel.

A DIY water fuel cell kit offers you a safe way to change your car’s fuel source while saving money. Putting it on your car will only take a small amount of time and you can change it back easily.

The benefits of this kit

This kit gives you a break from paying needless high fuel prices and will enable you to fight back just a little.

Miles per gallon: Your car will only use half the fuel that it is using now allowing you to go farther than ever between fill ups.

Cleaner running: With a DIY water fuel cell kit there will not be a need to get your fuel filter changed as often. That is a benefit for anyone who has ever had problems with dirty gasoline clogging up the works.

Good for the environment: Cleaner running engines mean a cleaner environment. In a time when our skies are being polluted with the toxic emissions it is a big help when anyone does something to help.

Tax help: Anyone who installs and uses one of these systems in their car will qualify for a tax credit on the next return. It is like a little reward for being conscious of the environment.

Easy installation: This mechanism is easier to install than almost anything else you can add to your car. The entire process will only take a couple hours.

With the state of affairs that the world is in the thought of something that can help save that much money seems too good to be true. A DIY water fuel cell kit offers a little bit of relief in a bleak situation. In times like these everything you do to help has the ability of making a huge difference.
