Water Powered Cars. Green Feat or Folly?

by admin on January 15, 2008

The reality is, a water powered car has the potential to save us a great deal of money on gas costs, but can they really work in the way these inventors claim?

What the developers of these gas savers claim is a system that are add-ons to your existing internal combustion engine in the form of gas saving devices. The “water car” are water powered cars that create hydrogen at the source to give your engine a boost.

In simple words, this science requires putting together home-made components that utilise current or electricity from your vehicle battery to divide water into a gas known as HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, a.k.a. Brown’s Gas or Hydroxy. The contention for water powered car advocates is that Hydroxy burns perfectly, providing significantly more energy to your engine.
An added benefit is that HHO gas is even much more powerful than gasoline. In most cases 3 times more powerful making water powered cars more efficient.

This can result in fairly decent savings in gas costs depending on your driving habits. In fact developers claim the water powered car could save up to $900 a year! They also claim that If there are two, three or four drivers in the family, water powered cars could save you much more. Even more, consider that you have a fleet of vehicles and drivers in a business? A fleet of water powered cars could improve your bottom line significantly.

The jury’s still out on these fledgling technologies, but the water powered car may end up being one of the Green Feats of the decade.
