Although the price of gas at the pumps has eased significantly, thanks to the lowering of the price of crude in international markets, there is still much to be concerned about. For one, there is the global economic downturn that pretty soon we will all be feeling significantly. Now is the time to be saving money and for looking at ways to cut costs.
Gasoline (for our cars) accounts for a large portion of our household budget. Therefore, if we can lower our consumption, find fuel saving options, and increase our gas mileage, we'll be in a good position to weather the coming economic storm.
There are several things you can do to increase you fuel savings and increase your gas mileage: keep your car in tip-top shape, use alternative fuels, make your own bio diesel, and modify your car to use Liquefied Petroleum Gas or (LPG). LPG is cheaper and burns more cleanly than regular fuels, and is much more earth friendly.
But for truly dramatic increase in gas mileage and fuel savings, you can take a look at two emerging technologies that look very promising - Hydro Assist Fuel Cell (HAFC) technology and Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter (PICC) technology.
What is HAFC?
Hydro Assist Fuel Cell technology extracts a hydrogen-oxygen mixture from water through ionization using the electricity created by the engine. This hydrogen-oxygen, called Brown's Gas, is then added to the fuel mixture in the engine before it is burned. This energy rich gas makes the fuel burn far stronger. The savings are realized when you pump less fuel into the engine, since you now get the same amount of burn because of the Brown's Gas introduced into the system.
The HAFC system also uses powerful magnets to ionize the gasoline to produce smaller molecules that burn more rapidly and cleanly. Gas that is broken down into its components make it burn more easily. Couple that with the brown's gas and you get a more explosive mixture, meaning more power, and less emissions, and ultimately using less fuel.
Some studies have shown that the HAFC system can produce gas savings of a minimum of 50%.
What is PICC?
The Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter or PICC system is an experimental system that even in its developmental stage promises to up your gas mileage by about at least 5 times.
Right now, all cars have catalytic converters. These are installed in the car's emission system, and are used for breaking down the large gas molecules un-burnt in your engine, turning them into smaller particles that can be incinerated in the tailpipe before being released into the air.
The PICC seeks to use this system in reverse instead of breaking down the gas for easier burning after it goes through the engine, PICC turns your fuel into a gas form, breaks down the fuel into smaller particles and THEN sends it to the engine. Gas burns better in vapor form, and if the components are broken down further, theoretically, more fuel savings will be realized.
The best part is these two technologies can be used side by side, and together promises to end America's dependence on foreign oil, plus keep more money in your pocket. |
