Shell Eco marathon Americas® United States

Availability of Low Gas Prices in the United States & Canada May be Based on Fuel Efficient Car Kit Known as Water4gas

June 23, 2010 by  
Filed under Fuel Economy

As a former energy trader turned lifestyle coach, I can with 100% certainty state the the fluctuations of rising and falling gasoline prices are affected as much by market makers, hedge funds, and traders as they are by world events.

In my practice, I spend half my time educating clients on having a quality of life between work, play, and consumer consumption, and the other half, being a human guinea pig for everything from the newest cost-efficient ways to minimize your energy bills to trying exotic herbs from the Amazon in elixirs that have yet to hit the market.

Even though I failed organic chemistry (and physics) for that matter in high school, my comprehension of alternative fuel and alternative energy sources in today’s economy is based on trial by error. So I recently decided to order the much talked about Water4Gas kit to see if the authors were smoking some funny stuff or if with the help of my engineer friend who works at Fermilab in Batavia, IL, we can decipher whats real and what isn’t.

Water4Gas shows you how to quickly create a device that splits water on board a vehicle. It then uses the oxygen and hydrogen that results from this splitting to boost the efficiency of the gasoline combustion, thus leading to a more fuel efficient vehicle. Contrary to what some may think, the device you create by using the instruction manual does not make the car run on 100% water; rather, what it does is it saves you money by improving efficiency in the vehicle.

The beautiful thing about Water4Gas is how simple it truly is. All you do is follow the instructions to create a simple device. This device is placed under the hood and is filled with distilled water and a touch of baking soda. The device then gets electricity and vacuum from the engine, which allows it to produce HHO gas. This gas is then fed to the engine’s intake or carburettor, which helps with the gas combustion, thereby improving efficiency.

Now, the key here is testing this in such a way where I don’t feel my engine will explode. My engineer friend suggested that any negative side effects from creating this device wont have any ill effects on my car.

Well, I have decided to try this on one of my secondary vehicles, a 2003 Infiniti G35 and my engineer friend indicated that was able to successfully set this up in his 2007 Jeep Cherokee.

I have a feeling that sooner or later I will be recommending this to all my clients as an efficient way to save on fuel consumption and being part of the http://betterthan-perfect.blogspot.com/ conscious lifestyle community that will help you have a clearer understanding of having the most optimum balance and quality of life.
