Water Fuel Cell Technology

Water Fuel Cell Technology

You may have recently heard a lot of buzz about water fuel cell technology. With the rising price of oil and the inflated gas prices any and all alternative fuel sources are being heavily investigated. I have to admit, when I first head this I thought “There’s no way this can work!”. So, I set out to do a little research. After all, if it’s possible why not saves some money and help to preserve the environment by reducing my carbon footprint.

What is This New Technology? Some quick investigation showed that this technology has actually been around for quite some time but has typically been too expensive and ineffective to take off as an efficient alternative to burning fossil fuel. Cars have even been modified to run on sugar cane and vegetable with some success. However, climate requirements and hefty price tag have hindered the evolution of this technology too. The car must be drastically modified to run on vegetable oil and these modifications have proven to be unstable and in some instances even unsafe.

How Does It Work? So, that’s great. If vegetable oil and sugar cane aren’t viable options what would be different with water fuel cell technology? It turns out the key to this technology is actually all about science. The conversion device uses a small amount of electricity from the existing car battery to separate the water molecules (Oxygen and Hydrogen) into gas. The existing combustion engine then uses this gas to power the vehicle and recombine the molecules into water vapor. Obviously this is my simplified explanation, but you get the point. Keep in mind that this technology will not replace gasoline or diesel. It works with these fuels to help increase productivity while reducing their requirements.

How Do I Make It Work For Me? Using this water fuel cell technology you can actually recognize a huge reduction in fuel consumption and in turn save vast amount of money on gas. The reason this concept is a viable one is because the technology is now very affordable. The conversion kits can be built and installed for $50 - $100 which you will easily make up in about three tanks of gas; maybe even less if you drive a truck or SUV.

I reviewed most of the online technology guides and found that Water4Gas has the most comprehensive guide to water fuel cell technology. The sales pitch is a bit much but don't let that throw you off. You can rest assured that this method really does work and they offer a 100% guarantee to support that claim. They also provide you with external sources of information to help you make your decision.

The sites listed here are the other outstanding products I reviewed for this article. Each produced results but the Water4Gas product was the easiest to comprehend and work with.

RunYourCarWithWater.com - Only $49 but you get what you pay for. Solid product but less user friendly than some others.

DriveWater.com - A newer product than the others but certainly just as good.

I know these products will go along way to helping to preserve our environment and I hope you're able to take a few minutes and check them out. You won't regret it!
