Water For Fuel
How to use water for fuel in your car or truck.
Convert Water Into Gas
Water is comprised of two Hydrogen atoms for every one Oxygen atom and hence has the familiar chemical formula H2O. Both Hydrogen and Oxygen are gases so if we can split the water molecules, we can convert water into gas.
The resulting gas is termed brown gas and is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in the ideal combination to act as an explosive mixture if ignited by a flame or spark. Plus, the result of burning this gas is pure water, so there is no pollution of the atmosphere.
Fortunately, it is very easy to convert water into brown gas by a process known as electrolysis. This involves connecting a DC voltage to 2 electrodes and dipping them into the water. Then a current flows through the water, between the electrodes. At the positive electrode, bubbles of oxygen appear and at the negative electrode, bubbles of hydrogen appear.
Adding something like baking soda can help to dramatically improve the conductivity of the water and hence the volume of gas produced.
Converting A Car to Run on Water 4 Gas
In a car or truck, there is a powerful 12V/24V battery that can be used to power an electrolysis unit. This unit can be a plastic container with coils of electrodes (for large surface area) inside it. The unit is then filled with water and is then capable of producing brown gas.
In a water4gas system, the gases are mixed together and passed to the inlet manifold of the carburettor or fuel injection system and mixed with the incoming air. Then the fuel is burned with not just air but air plus brown gas to apparently create a more efficient combustion.
The average efficiency of a car engine is only about 20% (based on average US driving conditions), so even small percentage improvements in efficiency can have a dramatic effect on running costs. For example, a 1% improvement in efficiency would save you maybe 5% on your fuel bill ($5 in every $100 spent at the pumps).
Users of water4gas systems have reported large gains in fuel economy. The systems are constructed from parts that are easily obtained from hardware stores such as tubes, wires and jars.
