News is emerging that the big three car manufacturers, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler are in financial difficulty. It serves the greedy cigar chompers right. They’ve been ignoring the public for years, building the same old heavy fuel consumption cars. Partly because they don’t want to spend money on research and development, their attitude is simply to go with what worked for them in the past, also because of pressure from the oil companies to produce vehicles that use plenty of fuel. Investing money in new technology is not on their agenda, unlike the Japanese manufacturers who are miles ahead in hybrid production and are actively researching other technologies. That’s why I think that Toyota, Nissan and Honda will soon become the new ‘big three’, Toyota is already a major player in the USA and Canada, with the Camry being the best selling car there for five years running. Here’s a christmas tip from me to them. Tip: Rule number one in any business: Don’t make products that nobody wants! I will also tell you what we would like to see mass produced. 1) Pure Electric Cars, 2) Diesel Hybrids, 3) Hydrogen fuel cell cars that run on tap water. Any chance?, I doubt we’ll see them anytime soon, so we’ll continue to buy the same old rubbish and suffer the poor fuel consumption that appears to be purposely built in. – Well that’s the end of my December Rant and a Very Merry Christmas from me. – Alan.

Use Water to Fuel Your Car
2008
Written by admin
If you’ve filled up your tank with gas lately, you know the current problem: gas prices are higher every day with no end in sight. Pollution from burning fossil fuels and releasing gases such as carbon may even be permanently changing the world’s climate. Brown clouds of fumes and filth hang over every major city in the United States.
And that’s just the start. As more and more of the world’s nations can afford their own personal transportation, gas will be in shorter and shorter supply, with more pollution yet to come.
However, there may be better ways to fuel your car and cut down on the cost of gas, as well as the pollution.
Sometime’s called “Brown’s Gas” or HHO fuel, more and more people are turning to simple tap water to improve their fuel economy and save money on gas. Different from water hybrids or hydrogen fuel cell technology, water-enhanced vehicles are not currently available from major automobile dealerships.
Still experimental, there are at least 10 different ways that water can be used to fuel your vehicle. To confuse the issue even further, designs and step by step procedures have been scattered across the internet and book stores with no clear path in sight.
Now, for some good news.
Coming soon: groups of at-home engineers motivated to find a solution to higher fuel prices and cut down on harmful emissions have found feasible, low-cost ways to modify your car to run on HHO Brown’s Gas. They have been working on ways to make the modifications simply and painlessly such that anyone with basic tool skills could implement a change in their car or truck. Some of the recent work that I have seen claims 35% to 70% improved fuel economy. The possibility of cutting down emissions and reducing rising the effects on the environment are impressive. Not only that, but adapting your car to this new form of “Water Hybrid” can mean less carbon build-up in your engine, reducing wear and tear on your vehicle.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t really have a special garage, special tools, or the know-how to do a lot of work on my car. However, one of the plans I saw claimed even *I* could do this, with easy step-by-step instructions that wouldn’t void my car’s warranty.
I’m trying to get my hands now on these plans. Stay tuned – before I make a recommendation I want to check this out myself – and I’ll keep you filled in on my progress along the way.
