Choosing Water for Fuel Alternatives

by Alison Jacobiee

Fuel prices, increased pollution, and other problems can all be traced back to the use of gasoline as our primary source of energy in cars. It wasn’t always that way. When the combustion engine was first used in cars, it was water that powered it. Gasoline wouldn’t be used for decades. Somewhere along the line, however, people forgot that water and, more specifically, hydrogen could be used as a valid and safe energy source.

Why do so many people continue to doubt the effectiveness of this alternative? Well, there are a few reasons.

Sadly, most of what people believe is told to them by the media. Unfortunately, the media has largely ignored the water as fuel phenomenon, probably because so much of it has come about through the Internet - one of the major enemy’s of the companies who run the major news media organizations today.

Many people steer clear of these options because they are worried that such changes are going to be difficult and might cause lasting damage to their cars. The good news is that’s not the case.

First, you need to understand how this works and that means eliminating a couple of misconceptions people have about this technology. For one, water isn’t the sole fuel for your car even when you convert it to this alternative system. Instead, your car basically becomes a hybrid.

What happens is that the gasoline in your car ends up fueling the process that makes the water useful to your engine. You see, a molecule of water is made up of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can be converted into energy for your car but only when it is separated from the oxygen through electricity. The gas provides the electricity to make this separation and to allow the hydrogen to fuel your vehicle.

Benefits of Changing to Water Power

Cost is only part of the benefits of using water for fuel. Another benefit is that it’s better for the environment. Gasoline adds numerous pollutants to the air when you’re traveling or when you’re just idling. These pollutants are also carcinogens which have been contributing to the increased risks of cancer.

When you’re using water as the chief source of fuel, however, the only thing spewed into the air from your car is water vapor. Water vapor is what makes the clouds - it’s perfectly harmless to human health.

Another huge benefit is that as more people switch to water fuel the cost of gasoline will keep going down. When demand drops so will prices.
