HHO/ Browns Gas, Water Fuel Cells, What's all this stuff about?
by Stephen Lessey
Whenever you hear the topic of cars and the economy, almost immediately you hear grunt that follows "these gas prices"� and quite frankly no one can really blame you. So then, we try to find resources or anything at all that will at least aide us at the pump. Many of us have heard all the rage of fueling your car with water. It's all over the TV, Magazines, and newspapers.The media eats this stuff up. But then you're thinking, what exactly is this water for gas or HHO nonsense anyway? And how does it work? The first process in understanding what happens is to understand that this article is just to inform you on how the entire process of HHO gas works, without being to technical. Ok, so let's get on to it.
What is HHO?
If you fell asleep in Chemistry class, consider this a crash course for dummies. We all have heard of Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H). If you put these two gases together we get what health professionals tell us to drink 8 times a day: water. However, when these two gases are combined in a "special way" it transforms into a new gas called HHO or browns gas. This "special way" takes the two gases Hydrogen and Oxygen out of water (H20) and transforms it into HHO by using electrolysis. An electrolysis is a word that means "breaking down" with electricity, and that is exactly what it does, break down water molecules into their components: hydrogen and oxygen. HHO is different than water because it is not bonded to create a molecule which in this explanation is water. You see, since Hydrogen and Oxygen are both gases, and are not bonded together, the result remains a gas when water (H2O) is broken down.
Run That By Me Again!
o Water is taken into the electrolysis chamber and broken down. There it is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen.
o The two gases, hydrogen and oxygen, form a gas called HHO.
o HHO, which has an enormous amount of potential energy stored in it, gets burned. Since hydrogen combustion is more efficient than gasoline combustion, a bigger percentage of the produced energy becomes motion energy that your car uses to run.
How does it Work?
In order for the process of electrolysis to work, we need a power source, your cars battery. Your engines compartment contains a cell where HHO gas being made through electrolysis. That HHO gas goes through a tube into the intake of your vehicles engine. When the HHO gas gets in contact with your engine's intake, it can only supplement the gasoline that you regularly buy. The results of this combination, is simple: more mileage. Think about it. If burning gasoline isn't as affective as burning HHO gas, then combining them would only increase your miles per gallon.
The Bottom Line
Using the HHO process might seem a little complicated to most, but rest assured it's not. Neither is it a new technology, just a new application that is being used by people around the world. There a literally hundreds of thousands of people who are already using their cars, as a full water vehicle or hybrid of water and gas. If you are serious about taking control on gas expenses, at least be open minded on the alternatives out there.

Make Your Car More "Green"

If you have been to the pump lately it might be your wallet that makes you want to go more "Green" with your car then before. As it relates to the environment automobiles account for 20% of all greenhouse gases emitted into the air. How ecological friendly you handle your car is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Still the only way to offset your carbon footprint is to plant trees. Listed below are the Top 10 things you can do to make your car more "Green."
1. Buy a Hybrid Car or Green Car
Yes, it doesn't take rocket science to understand that if you buy a more environment friendly car you have reduced your carbon footprint. Hybrids now come in sedans, SUV, and luxury vehicles. If buying a hybrid right now isn't in your budget choosing a car with excellent gas mileage is going to make a big difference.
2. How You Drive
You drastically increase the fuel you consume and the emissions your car gives off when you accelerate quickly and stop quickly. Driving the speed limit and more smooth as it relates to aggressive driving through the city will save on your gas bill. Also, the more you can take care of all your errands in one trip is better than many short trips to the store.
3. Keep Your Car in Shape
Regular tune ups of your car will keep your car producing less greenhouse gases, using less gas, and prevents future trouble. It is estimated that if every American's tires were properly inflated to the right level we would save 3 billion gallons of gas every year.
4. Offset Carbon Footprint
You can plant trees to offset the greenhouse gases you are emitting each year. Planting trees is the only way to offset your carbon footprint.
5. Carpool
If you have been on the freeway during rush hour you see all the commuters driving by themselves. Not only will you drastically lower your impact on the environment by carpooling you get to go in the carpool lane, as well.
6. You Don't Need a Car for Everything
For short trips you can take your bike or walk. With cars we don't even think about the other ways we can travel; we just hop in our cars and off we go. Many store items can easily be carried on a bike with a backpack. Also, you can get an electric scooter to get places faster.
7. Drive Half Way
For some trips walking or your bike isn't the complete answer. Driving your car and then getting on mass transit or driving your car and then parking to then go on your bike both work. Many times if you are going during rush hour, driving until the traffic gets thick and then going on your bike will get you there faster than sitting in the bumper to bumper traffic.
8. Use Less AC
Using a windshield protector can reduce how hot your car gets allowing you to use less air conditioner in the car. Turn your AC on low instead of high uses less gas. Don't forget to park in the shade to also keep your car cooler.
9. Use the Web
With the easy access to the web these days you can have video conferences, send email, and buy your products online. A video chat can be just as good as a face to face meeting without using gas and your car.
10. Go without a Car
For those that are willing to take it on it can be done. You would be surprised with a change in thinking how it is possible for some to go without a car. Using physical transportation like a bike and mass transit can get you around. Also, for those that want to it may be important to live closer to work or the stores you need or making your work day virtual so your home is your office.
