A water powered car is streets ahead of any other energy saving idea you could come across. At least, that is certainly the case if you are a consumer. A water powered car can cut what you pay at the fuel pump by half. It will reduce the harmful emissions from your car by even more. One in every 15,000 households in the US and Europe now owns a water powered car.
The best bit for most of us, if we are not formulating national legislation, is that we save money on gas. I can remember only a year ago that experts were saying oil would never reach $50 a barrel. Now the predictions are it will be at $200 a barrel in the near future. That is frightening. It is also a trend which is unlikely to be reversed.
Oil stocks at sea and on land are still believed to be fairly plentiful. The trouble is it is costing more and more to extract this great resource. The stark fact is that in 50 years time petroleum will likely be costing 20 times what it does today. That is in real terms. It may even be higher than that. How will we be able to drive anywhere? What to do?
Well, water fuel technology has been around for some time now. With the help of the many excellent guides available, any standard gas-run car or truck can be converted to run partially on hydrogen produced from water. At the moment, that is what is meant by a water powered car. Sure, in the next 30 years we will probably see vehicles run entirely on water.
For the time being, water cells are added to an existing gasoline powered combustion engine. These improve the efficiency of the gas engine by about 35%, reduce harmful emissions and make the engine last longer. The great thing is that anyone can add this system to their car with the correct know-how and they can be easily removed in minutes if there are any problems. And that's without any adverse affect on the engine itself.
It really could not be more simple. A decent manual will come in at less than $100. The parts should cost under $300. No obscure tools are required. Personally I have no mechanical experience whatsoever but I turned my first family saloon into a water powered car almost eight years ago. I now have converted two of my kids' cars and several for friends. Quite honestly, they could have done it themselves.
Another great benefit, beyond saving cash on gas, is that you can obtain IRS refunds if you use a water powered car. The States and Europe are scared stiff about relying on foreign oil and want more green cars. They want us to use less. Keep the receipts for your manual and parts to prove you have a water powered car and this is what you can expect from the IRS. Pretty much the same applies in the UK too.
This is what the IRS says:
Deduction limit. The maximum deduction you can claim for qualified clean-fuel vehicle property with respect to any motor vehicle is one of the following.
$50,000 for a truck or van with a gross vehicle weight rating over 26,000 pounds or for a bus with a seating capacity of at least 20 adults (excluding the driver).
$5,000 for a truck or van with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds but not more than 26,000 pounds.
$2,000 for a vehicle not included in either of the above.
Truckers and coach companies are obviously flocking to convert their vehicles to HHO, hydroxy, Klein gas and Browns gas. But we can all do it and get a deductible from the IRS to the tune of $2,000. Considering that to convert your existing vehicle to a water powered car costs under $400, if you pay tax, you will have another $1,600 in your pocket at the end of the year. It's almost unbelievable, but there you go. Good luck with your new water powered car.
