Hydro Assist Fuel Cell - Do They Really Work?
There are many valid reasons to start looking for alternative fuels for your car. There is the looming danger of global warming, and of course, the most pressing as of the moment, the current global economic downturn. It is for these reasons that many people are looking for ways to lower their spending on fuels. While it may take more than just decades to totally eradicate the use of fossil fuels, there are existing technologies today that can help anyone improve the fuel economy of their car and extend mileage per gallon.
Once of the more noteworthy technologies out there is Hydro Assist Fuel Cell (HAFC). HAFC is a combination of tested principles in the tradition of fuel saving technologies. It is available today, not merely available ‘years from now’ as others might lead you to believe.
To make it easier to understand, imagine that your car is an energy generation plant. Like all electric plants, it uses fuel, in this case, petrol. This fuel burned in the engine is what makes the car go forward. Aside from the forward motion, it also creates power for the stereo, the lights, the signal lights and electrical system. The HAFC system uses the energy created by the engine to make the system more efficient.
HAFC technology extracts a hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture from regular water by ionization. It uses the energy from the car’s electrical system and battery. This hydrogen-oxygen mixture, called Brown’s Gas, is added to your fuel before being sent to the combustion engine.
This energy rich gas (hydrogen-oxygen) called Brown’s gas, mixed with vaporized gasoline enriches the fuel mixture, giving out more energy as it burns. The more efficient the burn the less fuel is needed in the engine, thus improving you vehicles gas mileage.
This system also uses powerful magnets to ionize the gasoline to produce smaller molecules that burn rapidly and cleanly. It is a common mistake that gasoline burns. Gasoline does not burn, however gasoline vapor does. Gasoline is made inert to lessen the chances of it exploding. Before it is burned in the engine, the liquid gas is turned into a fine mist and pumped into the car’s combustion chamber. Mist is still mostly liquid. HAFC technology turns it into a gas, and the system breaks it down further to make it burn more. This result in a more explosive mixture, means more power, and less emission, using less fuel. That is the reason why LPG cars that run on Liquefied Petroleum Gas are more popular, economical even.
Although more proof is needed, various studies have already shown that the HAFC system can save you a minimum of 50% in gas expenditures. This dramatic increase in mileage and fuel economy is expected will vary vehicle to vehicle, and depending on the uses the vehicles sees.
What makes the HAFC System unique and special is that it will work on all current existing internal combustion engines. Unlike conversions to LPG fuel, there will be no need for major modifications, only added components that will not even add burden to the car. It is also compatible with other emerging technologies such as Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter technology, which should up the fuel savings even more.
