Water As Vehicle Energy

by RG Crosby

The use of water as vehicle energy is one of the many alternatives to our dependency on petroleum products that must be investigated. If found to be a viable solution it should become mass marketed and used to its fullest extent. If we do not start creating, re-creating, or evaluating alternatives to the petroleum dependency that we are addicted to, this planet will not survive in its current state for the many generations to come. The time is now to make the changes necessary to assure that our children and our grandchildren do not have to pay for the habits and sins of their forefathers.
Using water as vehicle energy is not a new concept. In fact the automotive use of water for energy has been around for over 90 years, with patented devices that can actually separate water into a gas. This patented device, using a small amount of electricity out of your car or truck battery, can take regular water (H2O) and convert it into Hydroxy (HHO), also called Brown's Gas. This conversion provides a lot of energy, burns very efficiently, and is much more environmentally safe than total use of petroleum products that are polluting the earth today. The end product remains - water!

The first internal combustion engines were introduced over 200 years ago and used hydrogen as a fuel. The idea of gasoline had not even been conceived yet. Many patents had been applied for, obtained, and then forgotten. And yes, you can build a hydrogen-on-demand system yourself, using information from the Internet and the U.S. Patent Library. But let's face it - you'll have to filter mountains of old US patents, read thousands of pages and diagrams, go through months or years of backyard tests, road tests, and heavy expenses on tooling and materials. Or you can purchase one of the newest manuals on how to apply this concept more cheaply and easier than researching for yourself.
Mobile Magazine says: HHO provides the atomic power of hydrogen, while maintaining the chemical stability of water. Another interesting fact is that pound for pound HHO gas is 3 times more potent than gasoline! HHO is a fast growing trend for boosting performance and total miles per gallon (MPG) in converted vehicles.
We must turn the clock back. We must eliminate harmful exhaust emissions that pollute the environment and contribute to global warming. Reducing petroleum demand and our economic dependency on it is an imperative. Water is available nearly everywhere and we need very little of it for the family car or company truck if we converted to the water. An added benefit would be reducing engine operating temperatures which would also help to prevent global warming. The cleaner burning fuel will add water and oxygen into the atmosphere instead of the amount of fossil fuel now polluting it.
As a world that is becoming so much smaller due to ever-expanding technology, we need - as a combined community of humans - to use the information we have and the capability for research to benefit our future generations and save this planet that has taken such good care of us. The time is now, the need is immense, and we must work together if we are to survive. A good place to start could be using water as vehicle energy and proving to others that there are alternatives to the over-consumption and pollution of our natural resources.

Finding alternatives to the plundering of our planet must become the most pressing issue of our society today. We all need to do our part. I'll start at http://powerupnow.blogspot.com

The 2009 ZR1 Corvette - The King Of The Hill

by David Atkin

Chevrolet plans to release a new corvette in 2009, well not exactly new, it's and upgraded version of the ZR1 corvette from the 1980's, and when I say up graded I mean up graded, more power, better handling, more comfortable, well yo get the idea, this car is the king of the hill, the best of the best that Chevrolet has to offer.
With it's supercharged LS9 engine it is putting out about 650 horsepower, making it the most powerful car built by Chevrolet for a long long time, and making the corvette set salivate, waiting with anticipation, chomping at the bit ready for something new, and this is just what the doctor ordered for a corvette freak.
With more then enough power to satisfy the most power hungry corvette freak, and the euro styling of the new corvette, it will no doubt be a huge seller, and no doubt be unbeatable by any stock muscle car on the market, yes I said any, and that includes the Viper, being as how the corvette can already hold it's own against the Viper.
Chevrolet has dropped the displacement of the engine down to 6.2 liters, and added another 149 horsepower, obviously this will not be a cheap car, it's not going to be a car for a person that makes $30,000 per year, it will be in the low to mid $100,000 dollar range, making it out of the budget of a normal person.

With all the technology that Chevrolet is throwing at this car, it's no wonder that it will not be cheap, I have to give them "CUDOS" for building such a cool car, it's just like that old days, when Chevrolet was the top dog, they are on their way to being the king again.
To put all that power to the ground, in a manor that won't have you fish tailing all over the road Chevrolet has added Michelin Pilot Sport 285/30ZR19s at the front of this monster, and at the rear the awesome power of this engine is being distributed by way of Michelin Pilot Sport 335/25ZR20s, this car has the stance of a muscle car, but will handle like a sports car making it the only choice for a true American muscle car guy or girl.
The ZO6 corvette had a very stiff suspension, making it difficult to drive quickly on the road, whereas the new corvette ZR1 will use some euro tech known as magneto-rheological dampers, like the Ferrari 599, the fluid in these units is filled with iron particles and the viscosity can be instantly changed by varying an electric current passing through it, ride sensors in the car take measurements every 0.001 seconds, and translate the information to the dampers every 0.002 seconds, adjusting the firmness of the ride to handle the corners much better then a stock mechanical system would.
With a six speed gear box, and Ferrari disc brakes at all four corners, stopping should be no problem either, as you well know, what speeds up must at one time on another slow down, and the brakes and transmission are just as important as the engine is to your safety, the brake rotors are made for a carbon ceramic composite, the Ferrari Enzo used these brakes on the front wheels, the corvette will use them at all four corners.
The Tremec 6060 will handle the power distribution from the engine to the road, and to show off a bit of it's new attitude, the speedometer will move for a 200 mph unit in the ZO6 Corvette, and a new 220 mph unit in the all new ZR1, with all of this awesome technology, it will be a car lovers dream come true, all that power and grace in a Chevrolet corvette, not a Porsche, not any euro car, the corvette, and American built sports car, yes I said American.

How to Make Car Run on Only Water - WaterForGas Review

by Judd Marshall

Is it really true that cars can run on water? How is it done? I remember back when I first discovered that cars can be powered by water, none of the people I spoke to believed me. I had found out about this water car technology after purchasing a guide from the internet.
Most people are not convinced that cars can get enough energy from water to run. This article will explain how this water fuel technology works, and how you can have own car running on water too.
1. Can A Car Really Run On Water?
Yes it is certainly possible, but you will need to build a system that can allow your car to do this. But it is impossible yet to run your car on water only, but it is doable with a mixture of water and gasoline.
This system can be built easily at home, and will only require a few easy-to-find parts that you probably already have or can find in any hardware store.

2. How Does This Technology Work?
To run your car on water, your car needs to be able to separate water molecules. With a process called electrolysis, water is split and a gas called Brown Gas can be obtained from it. This is the gas that is then combusted to produce energy to run your vehicle.
3. What Are The Benefits Of Using Water Instead Of Gasoline?
The biggest benefit is that we can all stop being slaves to gasoline. When we can run our automobiles on a mixture of water of gasoline, we can go to the gas pump less frequently and save up tremendously on fuel costs.
Brown Gas extracted from water will wear down your vehicle mechanics slower than gasoline does. With gasoline combustion, your engine parts and mechanics can wear down very quickly. HHO gas also burns more cleanly than gasoline, thus it is also more environmentally friendly.

A Used Car Buyers Guide Can Give Essential Advice

by Louis Rix

A specialist motoring website will offer those who are looking to buy a second hand vehicle, a used car buyers guide. This is by way of giving essential information relating to all aspects of buying a used car from finding the car of your dreams to finding the finance to purchase it.
The search engine is the number one tool when actually finding your used car. This will allow you to make a search with what could be thousands of cars in their database. By putting in your exact criteria you can narrow down the choices to those cars which you are interested in. You are able to search by make, model, area and how much you are willing to pay. Once you have found the car you are interested in you can then turn to the other tools and information a specialist will provide.
As part of a specialist used car buyers guide they will offer those looking to buy a used car the chance to find out all they can about the car they are considering buying. This will be by way of reviews and articles. Car reviews will give you an idea of the car overall, how it handles and any known problems associated with that particular make and model. This is the best possible way to get an insight into the car you are considering and can help you to decide if this would be a good choice for you.

If you want to be absolutely sure that the vehicle you are considering is totally above board then the data check aspect of a used car buyers guide is essential. For a fee this will tell the individual such facts as whether or not the car has been involved in an accident and the insurance company have paid out, if the vehicle was stolen, how many times the car has changed hands and how many miles should be on the clock. This is the only sure and safe way of buying a used car online or otherwise.

While a specialist website will offer a used car buyers guide it is down to the individual to amass the information and advice it gives and put it to good use. While the majority of those who sell used cars online are genuine and a bargain can be found, you can also meet those who are less ethical. Always be on guard when it comes to actually looking the car over and taking it for a test drive and do not forget the advice you learned.

Some Tips For Getting A Great Deal On A Used Car

by Terry Bolton

You can get an excellent deal on a used car with a lot of life left in it if you're willing to put some effort into the search process and take a few precautions along the way. One of the main keys to getting an excellent deal on a used car is to buy from a party more interested in getting rid of or replacing the used car than interested in making a profit off it. Most of the time getting an excellent deal on a used car means not buying from a used car dealer, except when the dealer has had a particular car on the lot for a very long time.
Tip #1: Consider Used Cars From Rental Agencies
A lot of people recommend not buying a used car from rental agencies. They believe people who rent cars treat them poorly. But, that may not be good advice. While renters have been known to treat rental cars poorly, it does not happen often. Further, rental agency used cars' engines are usually maintained better than privately owned cars as they are put through constant maintenance during use.

Tip #2: Look Online For Used Cars
The used cars that you see advertised in the newspaper are a small sample of the number of used cars available throughout the U.S. This is mainly due to geographical limitations. Newspapers and other periodicals with classified ads serve a market within limited geography. Search for used cars online at sites such as UsedCars.com and CarsDirect.com. You will likely find a better deal on a great used car since you have many more from which to choose.
Tip #3: Get A Vehicle History Report
If you are buying a used car, you must get a history report on that vehicle. If you fail to get the history, you could be buying a car that has any number of serious issues that could come back to haunt you. When you have found a likely candidate for purchase, get the car's VIN number and visit Experian.com. They get most of their data about used vehicles from dealers and repair shops. This is the only way to find out if a car has been in a major accident, sustained irreparable damage due to flooding, frame damage, leaks, etc.
Tip #4: Consider Buying From A Private Party
Many people buy used cars from car dealers. But, there are many great deals waiting in the driveways of private sellers. Often, you can get a better deal by buying a used car from a private party than a dealer because there is no middleman involved in the transaction. When you find a used car from a private seller, get the VIN number and run a car title search through Experian.com. That way, you will know the history of the car, its true value and any room you may have to negotiate.
Finally, don't be hesitant to pay a mechanic to look over the car for you before you make your purchase decision. The mechanic may not see everything, but he will be able to pick out things you wouldn't pick out. A clean bill of health from a mechanic is not a guarantee, but it is really the best way to certify that you have gotten an excellent deal on a used car.

3 Tips for Finding Classic Car Parts

by Pam Eisenberg

Many people truly appreciate the beauty and historical value of a classic car, but it usually takes a lot to maintain. One of the major problems involves finding the right classic car parts.
As classic cars are no longer being manufactured, it is obvious very difficult to find their parts. When a car owner does find a part, it may not always be appropriate for their cars or may come at a very expensive price. Even if they do manage to buy the right piece, they have to exert even more effort to look for people who actually know how to install the parts.
Having talked about all the difficulties, this article is about to show you some great tips for locating the right parts for your classic car:
Look for a Special Mechanic
Believe it or not, there are mechanics and repair shops that specialize only in classic cars. If you are serious about maintaining your car, then you should take the time to locate these shops. Some of the more advanced shops are already on the internet so you can easily look them up and compare them with one another before picking one. Sometimes though, classic car repair shops may not be found near your area.

Look for Parts Online
You are able to find classic car parts online, if you are a fairly good mechanic yourself and would simply like to look for the right parts to install. Some merchants may put up parts for sale on public ad pages, auctions, car club websites and personal websites.
Be careful though. It is important that you should have more than average knowledge about what you are looking for exactly. You should also have some experience at online shopping. The online world is notorious for having just as many bad merchants as there are good ones. You could easily get tricked or ripped off.
Join Classic Car Forums and Groups
Before you buy just any classic car parts, make sure you ask for the opinions of some car enthusiasts. You can find many of them in online forums and groups. Some of them may even have their very own informational website or blog. Why not sign-up with these helpful forums and sites? Many of its members can offer you the right tips on just any car topics and may even be able to point you to the right mechanics you should be seeing.
As said, it is not easy to find classic car parts, but I hope you at least have some ideas about where to start after reading this article. Remember to always be meticulous and careful, you might just waste your money and effort on a wrong part.
