HOW TO MAKE YOUR CAR A HYBRID RUNNING ON WATER  
by Paul Aitchison

Gas prices are hitting an all time high every year and also the supply of fossil fuels are dropping with the passage of time. Now people are looking for alternative sources of energy to run their cars. Many are looking to ethanol as the solution. Creating fuel from corn crops may seem like a great idea until one realizes the hazards on the food supply. What good is lower priced fuel if no one can afford to buy food? Other alternatives include solar-powered cars. The most fuel-efficient cars on the market are the hybrids but they are so expensive they do not fit the budgets of the average family especially in current economic conditions. What can a car owner do to keep his or her costs reasonable? The answer might be turning your existing car into a hybrid. This may sound fantastical, like something out of a science fiction film but it isn’t. However, do not expect water to completely replace your need for gasoline. Convertor kits are available today that allow your existing car to become more of a hydrogen hybrid. It allows you to add water to your car in order to fuel it. However, it is important to understand how the process exactly works. It is not the water that provides the energy. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. When exposed to a process known as electrolysis, the hydrogen and oxygen are separated. The hydrogen can then be used to power the engine. Hydrogen is a very volatile gas. Due to this reason some people believe hydrogen-powered cars are a threat on the roads. However, the gasoline we use today is just as volatile. When used with car and common sense, hydrogen is no more dangerous to drivers than any other type of fuel. Another advantage is the decrease in pollution. When the internal combustion engine uses fossil fuels, they emit harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. These chemicals stay in the air and end up causing environmental threats, such as acid rain. With a hydrogen-powered car, the only emission is water vapor. While more water vapor may lead to more clouds and rain, it could also reduce the carcinogens in the air and prevent further damage to the planet. Besides the benefits to the environment and also to your wallet, water-powered cars have another advantage. They may extend the life of your car. Research suggests that water and hydrogen are not as hard on your engine as fossil fuels so it is likely to last longer and have fewer problems. It not only reduces your car’s maintenance costs but also helps is a higher resell value. The conversion is entirely reversible. If you are not satisfied with the improvement in your gas mileage then you may always revert to the old-fashioned way.
