HYDRAFICIENT ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF WATER FUEL CELL KIT
Hydraficient announced the availability of the Hydraficient Water Fuel Cell Kit, a safe and all-inclusive HHO generator that enables equipped vehicles to improve gas efficiency by more than twenty-five percent and decrease emissions by as much as fifty percent, all without the use of additives or significant electricity requirements. The Hydraficient Water Fuel Cell Kit will be available thru distributors October 1 or now at www.hydraficient.com.
How Does It Work?
The kit is powered by a patent pending electrode technology that uses electricity from the vehicle’s alternator to separate water into its molecular form. The simple gases enter the vehicle’s combustion chamber via the air intake supply and mix with the fuel source, whether it is gasoline or diesel. The hydrogen and oxygen gasses react with the fuel tank’s petroleum allowing it to burn faster and more efficiently, so more of the fuel is used to power the vehicle instead of released as a byproduct, which means less emissions and improved fuel economy. The Hydraficient Water Fuel Cell Kit is compatible with almost every make and year of car, van or SUV and with gasoline or diesel powered engines.
“Consumers are looking for simple and cost-efficient ways to reduce their carbon footprint and spend less on gas,” said Mike VanPelt, spokesperson for Hydraficient, LLC. “We realized that making these improvements didn’t have to be expensive or complicated and the Hydraficient Water Fuel Cell kit is an easy to implement solution that just about any consumer can install quickly and without having to choose between affordability and positive results.”
The Hydraficient Water Fuel Cell Kit only requires the addition of tap water, making it easy to maintain and safe for the engine. Only six to seven amps of electricity are required to run the Water Fuel Cell Kit, minimizing the reliance on the engine for power and decreasing heat emissions. Onboard sensors also maintain optimal water temperature, preventing overheating or freezing.
“I was considering buying a new car, one that would reduce my trips to the gas station and that would produce fewer emissions, but the waiting list for a hybrid was too long,” said Lee Gibson. “I didn’t want to wait to experience the results of a more fuel efficient car, and after installing the Hydraficient Water Fuel Cell, I was getting all the benefits – less money spent on gas, less pollution – without having to invest in a new car.”

What are HHO Fuel Kits?
What's all the hype about HHO fuel kits?
With rising gas prices consumers have been seeking alternative methods to lower their ever increasing fuel expenses. HHO Fuel kits are quickly becoming a popular modification to existing vehicles in order to not only greatly improve mileage, but reduce carbon emissions as well! How does nearly doubling your gas mileage sound to you?
Using electrolysis, these amazing little add-ons split plain old tap water into its individual atoms - two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. When this hydrogen+oxygen mixture (HHO) is pumped into your existing fuel system, it mixes with the gasoline and burns with more energy. With more power you're able to maintain the same speeds using less gasoline, and thus your gas mileage greatly improves!
This isn't new technology we're dealing with here. It's been in and out of the news for many years! Now that gas prices have gone through the roof these HHO fuel kits are really growing in popularity. These systems are a really great stepping stone between our gas guzzling vehicles of today and the pure hydrogen and electric cars of tomorrow. If we're going to thrive as a country we MUST cut back on our oil dependency and find alternative sources! You've heard this all over the news but odds are you haven't done anything about it yet right? Well make a difference and give one of these a shot. Your wallet and the environment will thank you!
So now you know a little more about how these HHO fuel kits work..but how do you get one? Stores don't sell these yet. There's probably a bunch of red tape involved with something of this nature so your best bet is going to be ordering an online kit.
There are many different HHO kits available.. some are excellent and provide you with detailed plans on how to build your own HHO fuel kit. However some aren't so great and wasting your money is never a good thing. For this reason I've taken the time to try out three different kits. After thorough investigation into each one I've compiled 3 HHO kit reviews so that you can make an informed decision before you buy.

The sea water as fuel?
A researcher managed to burn saltwater
John Kanzius tried to desalinate seawater with a radio frequency generator he had created to treat cancer. It was the surprise of his life when the water in the test tube ignited. Within days, he managed to control the phenomenon and water in the test tube burning like a candle wick. Obviously, such a discovery has generated considerable skepticism in the scientific community but also among some of the wonder. Can we make a liquid fuel spilled on the Earth?
Rustum Roy, a chemist from Penn State University has successfully recreated the experiment in laboratory, confirming the authenticity of the discovery of John Kanzius. Indeed, the sea water really does not burn. The radio frequencies weaken the link between the components of sea water, sodium chloride, hydrogen and oxygen, releasing hydrogen, which ignites and burns as it is exposed to the scope of radiofrequency energy. The hydrogen and burned, releasing heat of over 3 000 ° F (1649 ° C). According to Dr. Roy, it is the most important discovery in the science of water since the last 100 years. Obviously, this is not tomorrow that we will see a practical application of this discovery. It will, among other things, determine the energy efficiency of such a discovery; compare the energy required to run the generator of radio frequencies to be released by the process.
Dr. Kanzius explained that his discovery is the result of chance. He created the radiofrequency generator to destroy cancer cells containing metallic nanoparticles. It is by demonstrating its generator that someone has noticed condensation on the wall of the test tube and suggested using the generator to desalinate seawater

Hydrogen Fuel Cells To Power Your Car & Save Fuel
Over the last year we have seen sharp rises in fuel, this has been brought about due to the rising oil prices and already high amount of tax added. In the UK the average price of petrol is well over £1.10 and the USA and Europe have also seen a high increase. Many vehicles in the USA have larger engines and do far less to the gallon so any increase in price effects the average motorist.
A new concept in powering cars has been available for some time, hydrogen fuel cells: Also known as water fuel cells and ‘run cars on water’ systems are available to help the average motorist cut fuel costs by up to 50%.
These can be bought as kits but what many are doing is buying blueprints at much lower costs and making there own, as they can easily be built and installed to any car.
Before I go into which one is best I’ll give a brief explanation of how a hydrogen fuel cell works. ..
Run Cars On Water Systems - Saving Fuel Effectively
Theres no denying that the majority of people are tired of high priced fuel. The rising cost of oil from the far east has called for the majority of average earners to look at alternative energy means to power their cars. Run Cars On Water systems seem to be a popular method to save money and fuel.
So what is a ‘run your car on water’ system and how does it work? Basically these kind of devices are fitted to any vehicle in an attempt to improve fuel efficiency, thus saving money on your fuel bill.
The power source comes from hydrogen HHO. This is fed into the cars air intake system which in turn helps burn fuel more efficiently and provides an extra power source on top of petrol. Although a run car on water system will not completely eliminate gasoline as a fuel source, it works in conjunction making a far more efficient car. Many claim savings of up to 40%
To take advantage of a run cars on water system you must first decide which conversion you are going to use. There are various kits available some more effective than others but the most common way of installing a system of this kind is to make the small device one selves following a set of blue prints. The most famous set of instructions is called Water4Gas
A run car on water device can be installed on a car in hours and is fitted under the bonnet. The main unit can be made up of household products and parts available from local shops, once fitted the system can save fuel at around 40% so this explains why its such a popular product.
Many are following blueprints from Water4Gas which seem to be the most successful conversion guide, this guide can be downloaded online instantly at the cost of around $90. To read more about Water4Gas its worth checking out Run Cars On Water Review. They list the top 3 Run Cars On Water systems on the internet, tried and tested.
When the car is running electric is drawn from the battery into the bottle, a special chemical reaction takes place (electrolysis) and HHO gas is extracted from the water - This is then introduced to the cars air intake system by pipe providing an extra source of fuel and making the car burn the existing gasoline more efficient.
So a hydrogen fuel cell still needs petrol to function, they just cut the amount thats used. There are however many different kits, guides and resources to follow to build them. Normally a hydrogen fuel cell can be made for well under $100 from parts found in at local shops. The installation is designed for anyone and should not take long too. To help you choose a hydrogen fuel cell its worth visiting Run Cars on Water Review.
Water4Gas was Run Cars On Water Review 1st choice, it seems many have successfully converted there car using this system. Many consider Water4Gas the best option based on its value and information.
Algae, the fuel of the future?
Dutch farmers say algae could be the answer to the world's energy crisis. It might take years, but then it could go a long way toward easing the world's energy needs and responding to global warming.

Set amid cornfields and cow pastures in western Holland is a shallow pool that is rapidly turning green with algae, harvested for animal feed, skin preparations, biodegradable plastics and biofuel.In a warehouse 200 kilometres (120 miles) southeast of Amsterdam, a bioreactor is producing algae in pressure-cooker fashion that its manufacturer hopes will one day power jet aircraft.
Algae is the slimy stuff that clouds your home aquarium and, in larger form, gets tangled in your feet in a lake or ocean. It can grow almost everywhere there is water and sunlight, and under the right conditions it can double its volume within hours.Opinions differ on how best to grow algae and how quickly it can come on stream as a commercially viable alternative or supplement to fossil fuel. But scientists and industrialists agree the potential is huge.
"Algae are very small and they grow very fast and they also need less space," says Carel Callenbach, the director of Ingrepro, which operates the one of the largest algae farms in Europe producing 80 tons a year, "..and if you are dealing with biofuels, with energy, but also with nutrition - we need both energy as well as nutrition and algae have both energy and nutrition. And that's what algae do, so if you make biofuels, get oil out of algae, than there will also be protein left over," he says.
Algae doesn't require much space or good farmland. It can grow in fresh water, polluted water, sea water or farm runoff.It can purify a city's sewage while feeding on the nitrogen and phosphates in human waste.And it is rich in oil.The most common strains farmed today have an oil content of 30 percent, and it can go up to 70 percent or more.Yet, it avoids the fuel-for-food dilemma that has plagued first and second generation biofuels like corn, sugar and palm oil.
Rene Wijffels, a professor of bioprocess engineering at the Wageningen University and Research Centre in the province of Gelderland has been researching algae as a source for biofuel.He says it costs 5 Euro (7.30031 USD) to produce 1kg (2.25lb) of Algae and that biofuel production is shackled by two factors: the limited availability of nutrients, and an unfavourable energy balance. "The biggest problem in algae farming is water because the concentration of bio mass, algae in water is rather low, so you are actually transporting a lot of water," he says.
The European Union has mandated that 20 percent of Europe 's energy must come from renewable sources by 2020, including a 10 percent biofuel component for transportation fuel. According to Wijffels, a promising method for reducing emissions is to capture carbon from power plants and heavy industries and to store it harmlessly in the ground.
At Ingrepro's farm near the Dutch border with Germany, the scum from the double Olympic-size pool is filtered and processed into flaky green strips that crumble to the touch. The algae can be made into dozens of products, from iodine tablets to horse feed. Algae oil goes into paints, resins, and bioplastics.
AlgaeLink, by contrast, sells bioreactors rather than algae products. It nurtures the Algae in a closed and controlled environment of clear tubes, speeding the reproductive process by two to four times as the water turns darker. But the process requires much more energy than open pools.
Peter Van den Dorpel says making jet fuel will be viable within a few years if petroleum prices stay above $100 a barrel. Van den Dorpel explains that Algae Link closed tube system innovation have two unique solutions: a cleaning tube system that allows light through for photosynthesis and integrated control systems that measure growth parameters.
The AlgaeLink system is still in the experimental stage - they have yet to produce more than a litre of oil, but Callenbach believes that if the system can create the volume, demand for the product will remain high. At Ingrepa we know very well what we can do with the waste products as well; we develop our own brand food for animals and we are closely involved with the fish food industry. So we knew what to do with proteins that are left over and as a result we can offer them even cheaper on the market," he says.
