Water is the new oil!  

by Dr. Leon Osborn

With gas prices on the rise, and more importantly, growing concerns of our environmental crisis people are beginning to seek alternative fuels. Let’s get the record straight before anyone starts throwing their thermodynamic knowledge at me. Your car will never fully run on water, it is impossible. However, knowing that the average internal combustion engines (ICE) only achieve 20% of its efficiency we know there is plenty of room for an upgrade, which means saving money at the pump. Therefore, don’t worry about running your car on water but rather using water to run your car more efficiently. More than likely the car you drive uses an ICE. The internal combustion engine uses the compressed air from the burning gasoline in the combustion chamber to create the power which moves your car. The pressure is what drives the piston up, which turns the crank shaft creating a circular motion of the axles. During this process a lot of energy is lost. Some of the gasoline is not burned or some is lost in the form of heat and sound. There is a part that assists with lost energy, the catalytic converter. It is responsible for burning all the leftovers, however most engines expand more fuel burning the leftovers than what is necessary to move the car. This is bad and good. It’s bad because the car companies will tell us we need to buy expensive hybrid vehicles (which take years to gain the investment back) and other social-political dilemmas we face today over crude oil. The good, we can use the knowledge we have about cars today and modify them to become more efficient. Converting your car to run on water is easier than most people think. Anyone can do it with no prior experience by following simple instructions. The goal to achieve more efficiency is to create more burn. Some of the engines power transfers into electrical energy to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen which then go through the air intake. Therefore, you can alter the efficiency of the engine using water. So no, you cannot pour a bottle of Poland Spring into your car and expect it to get you to work, however you can use that water to greatly increase the mileage on your car. This brings us to the most important question; what are you going to do with the extra $2,400 a year that you’re going to save on gas?
