Water Fuel Car Is Bubbling Away

A water fuel car is hot gossip at the moment. But how does a water fuel car work?

Well, there are a few mad scientists running cars entirely on water, or at least the hydroxy gas produced by splitting water atoms. But for most ordinary mortals who want to increase their miles per gallon, the solution is a kit which acts as a fuel supplement to standard gasoline or diesel.
Because water is virtually free and kits so easy and cheap to make, a water fuel car has become a standard addition for more than 100,000 American car and truck owners already. All you need is a cell containing an electrolyzer, a bubbler, and an electronic component unit. All the parts are standard materials available from electric, plumbing and hardware stores. The total cost is less than $140.
Hydroxy gas is produced by passing an electric charge through the water at about 13 amps. The H2O converts to HHO by reaction with the catalyst. The hydroxy gas is then passed via a vapor catcher straight to the carburetor. The bubbler is there to stop any water vapor getting into the engine. It is all controlled by an electronic unit which is normally connected to the ignition system. It should allow control over operation and amperage.
Basically, the results produced are a gas (hydroxy) that is up to 10 times more efficient than normal gasoline. It is not that commonly known that 70% of gasoline burnt in modern cars is entirely wasted. Hydroxy, or Brown’s, gas is quite different.
All that is needed is a decent manual and possibly a mechanic for a couple of hours assistance, although most people can do it themselves.
Advantages of a Water Fuel Car
The miles per gallon on most cars and trucks is increased by 30% all the way up to 80%. That can represent huge savings depending on your mileage and the type of vehicle you own.
A water fuel car hybrid system is much easier on the engine, including the valves being naturally cleaned. Estimates suggest 100,000 extra miles on a diesel engine and 60,000 on a petrol engine.
Governments just love water fuel cars. The IRS offers a tax rebate of $2,000 to anyone willing to convert to hydrogen power. Make sure you keep all your receipts and your manual as proof.
While the car is much quieter than when running solely on gasoline, its performance is also significantly increased. Acceleration, power and torque are all improved.
The only byproduct of a hydrogen generator is water, making it totally environmentally friendly. No carbon emissions means less pollution.
But let’s face it, the point of major interest to most of us are those savings at the gas pump when you opt for a water fuel car.
