Water To Gas Is It Possible?

This is a very interesting article that answers this question - Water to gas, is it possible? As I found this article worth reading therefore I am sharing it with you. Check it out
“Yes, and naturally water is the most reasonable inexpensive and widely available alternative answer to the ever increasing gas prices in today's market. Though the regular form water is definitely any sort of energy source to start with, with the right process involved, it could be the best source of hydrogen - a highly feasible element that can overturn our reliance on fossil fuels to power vehicles and even provide energy like heat, along with it's counterpart, electricity.

For the concept various studies have been funded to research on the possibility of water for possibly providing an alternate source of fuel and energy, which has indeed proven itself to be extremely helpful and revolutionary. In fact, the technology to make a car run on water is actually old tech and has been a patented concept for many years now, and has managed to evolve to the creation and invention of fuel saving devices that either make use of a little electric power from the battery to separate water into a gas known as HHO also known as Brown's Gas or oxyhydrogen.

Discovery of Brown's Gas or HHO has been know for some time but it was just recently that it became regarded as an energy source that could power an automobile - and the primary source of HHO is water. Brown's Gas burns well and provides adequate energy equivalent to the potential of petroleum but with a better environmentally sound by-product - H2O. A regular engine burning conventional gas fuel, fuel consumption rate is comparative only to the amount of gas the engine requires to operate on the amount that is burned and in the end incombustible fuel meaning less mileage and much energy becomes wasted as pollution. There are many who are not aware but Brown's Gas or HHO is extremely powerful since it has the atomic power of hydrogen and the chemical stability of water, which makes it thrice as potent as and much more powerful than gasoline.

The government gave a challenge to US citizens to get a hydrogen car at their earliest convenience and has put aside a huge amount of money for the research to find out how it can be done. From the introduction of the challenge stemmed many processes that were made known to the public - some effective, and some are nothing but a scam to bait gullible people. Though in spite of the motives, good or bad there are a number of very viable methods of breaking down of water into oxygen and hydrogen.

It's good to know that you don't need to spend a lot of money to have a vehicle utilize water to gas technology, as oddly it does not cost a billion dollars to develop. That becomes possible because existing engines in our cars could work with these processes with very little or minimal modifications to the system.

But how does the water to gas system work? It begins with the idea that everyday water is actually a 'battery' that holds vast amounts of energy - most notably, hydrogen energy. Water, in reality, is two parts hydrogen combined with one part oxygen, so it's left to the imagination how it holds a huge amount of energy and has nothing to do with the amount of energy it needs to break down the molecule. Water to gas is, definitely a program with extended longevity [that needs a lot of research] but really, who can tell it might yet hold the answer to the current oil hike up dilemma.”

Water can be broken down into two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen (H2O into H+H+O) with as little as 3-5 amps using high frequency. The quantity produced on this small scale isn't sufficient to be a self sustaining fuel for the average vehicle as yet, but the research is on gong.

Here is an interesting article about Toyota's plans to reduce the price of Hydrogen fueled cars:

Toyota hopes to price hydrogen cars at $50,000

Toyota, having reduced the cost of making fuel-cell vehicles by about 90% since the mid-2000s, hopes to price its first retail hydrogen model at about $50,000.

The first model will be a sedan with driving range equal to a gasoline-powered car, "with some extra cost," Yoshihiko Masuda, Toyota's managing director for advanced autos, tells Bloomberg News. But there are some big obstacles remaining: Despite having brought down from the cost of making a hydrogen-powered car down from $1 million, it will still have to cut them by about 50% in order to meet its target.

Simple reason: "We don't lose money with introduction of the vehicle," Masuda said.

General Motors once dominated hydrogen car development that it admitted at the time was years from when a fuel-cell powered vehicle could actually sold. Lately, Honda has taken a leading position and Toyota, which has remained enthralled with hybrids, hasn't said much about hydrogen cars.

Toyota plans to cut expenses to make the vehicles by reducing platinum use to about one-third the previous level and finding cheaper ways to produce the thin film used in the fuel cells and the carbon-fiber hydrogen fuel tanks.
