HYDROGEN FUEL SOLUTIONS: There are actually three different varieties of hydrogen fuel solutions. The existing engines and infrastructure in our automobiles can use these systems with very little alteration and there is no need for an external support infrastructure (like gas stations). Fuel Cells: This method uses oxygen from the atmosphere to complete the burning of the hydrogen in the fuel cell. What comes out of the tail pipe is oxygen and water vapor, but the oxygen originally came from the atmosphere, not from the fuel. And so the use of fuel cells neither takes away nor contributes to the oxygen content of the air. Hydrogen: This fuel is complete in itself. It does not need oxygen from the atmosphere to burn, which is an improvement over fossil fuels in saving the oxygen in our air supply. In fact, when hydrogen burns perfectly, nothing at all comes out of the tail pipe, and does not contribute oxygen to the atmosphere. Brown's gas: This is the most perfect fuel of all for running our vehicles. Brown's gas has the same chemical properties as hydrogen and the same chemical stability of water. Like pure hydrogen, it is made from water, but it burns in the combustion engine and can release oxygen into the atmosphere. Whenever we are burning Brown's gas in our vehicles, we can also be contributing to the solution of a very dangerous environmental problem. Many experts believe that Brown's gas would be the ideal automotive fuel of the future for this reason. However, the main problem with most of the Brown's gas systems we have seen so far is that, although they work, they do not generate enough hydrogen to supply a piston engine under normal road conditions. HOW DOES IT WORK? With a Brown's Gas type of system installed in your car or truck engine, a small amount of energy is drawn off the battery which then separates the two hydrogen molecules from the one oxygen molecule in H2O (water is typically stored in a jar or PVC pipe). When the separation takes place Brown's Gas is produced, and is burned "on demand" by your vehicle's engine. Brown's Gas burns efficiently while producing tons of energy, allowing up to 50% improvement in gas mileage when used in hybrid vehicles. A Brown's Gas type of system produces what is called Hydrogen-On-Demand, meaning Brown's Gas is only produced when you need it, eliminating the problems that car manufacturers are experiencing with their hydrogen cars which need special tanks to store hydrogen under pressure and special fueling stations. Many auto mechanics are successfully installing conversion kits in their client's cars, and we are starting to see more and more news clips on water cars. This is the fuel technology of the future, and we can consider ourselves very lucky that we are able to take advantage of this technology using the automobiles we currently own.
