Family car get poor MPG, like to reduce the number of gas pump visits?


Is the family car, that necessary member of the family getting poor MPG? Would you like to do something about it? Without spending an arm or a leg, would you be interested – of course you would.

Burning hydrogen along with E-15 or E-85 gasoline produces a more efficient, cleaner combustion action than possible before. This always equates to better MPG. Think of it, you can literally raise the MPG of your car by as much as 50 percent. That means if you’re already getting 30 mpg, you can ad another 15 mpg to that. That’s 45 MPG.

Why? An important atomic characteristic of a hydrogen molecule is its small size. In fact, if you look at the periodic table, you’ll find that it’s the smallest of all the elements. This attribute allow hydrogen to freely mingle with larger heavier carbon elements in gasoline. A more thorough burn with less pollutant emissions will immediately be apparent.

I like to use the example of the campfire. If you enjoy camp outs, you'll know that in order to build a decent fire, you need large dry chunks (akin to gasoline's large hydrocarbon molecules) of wood for a good fire. Because, damp wood (cold engine starts) doesn't make for a nice fire. And anyhow it's more difficult to light – right?! So you need a little help.

Okay, split up a whole bunch of small pieces of dry wood, called kindling (these represent the hydrogen molecules).

Anyway, you need some matches (represented by the spark plug) to light the thing, unless it’s damp, then you'll need lot’s of em.

Now you light the kindling, it begins to burn which in turn ignites the larger chunks until all the wood is completely (represented by a roaring campfire) engulfed in fire. Makes sense huh?! See Gasoline Engines.

Did you notice there was no mention of the campfires size (represented by the engines size). In other words, hydrogen will work effectively in a family car engine no matter its size to the largest diesel, even giant ship engines.

Well, this isn’t about campfires; it’s about increasing your family car miles per gallon. While hybrid cars get fantastic mileage, they do cost a bundle. There are many great retrofit easy to install devices available currently available. These will easily increase your cars mileage to affordable levels. Just think, your 20 MPG junker getting 30 MPG.

Using hydrogen to boost your cars mileage has spin off advantages. One is reduced crank case combustion contamination. Your crankcase oil stays cleaner longer. This will become apparent when its time to change the oil. You’ll find it staying cleaner longer.

One more thing, using hydrogen on top of ethanol, your family car will probably pass your states vehicle emissions inspection program with flying colors. Why, because when burned, alcohol and hydrogen both produces water. Talk about a renewable energy source, since the entire universe is basically made of 75% hydrogen, the chances of running out of the stuff is pretty dim.

If you're a do-it-your-self junky, there's plenty of plans available for building from scratch, or almost plug n play ready-to-go kits like the one shown you can install.

So if you want real power, try one of these hydrogen fuel cells - you'll be amazed.

Since hydrogen makes up 3/4 of the universe, it'll be a long-long time before you ever run out of the stuff. When you need to fill'er up, just visit your kitchen sink and draw some cold water.
