About Water Fueled Cars

    History

    • In 1989, an inventor by the name of Stanley Allen Meyer claimed to have invented a means by which a car could be fueled solely by water. He alleged that he had created a dune buggy which could travel across the United States on twenty-two gallons of water. He died in 1998 while celebrating the success of his invention with his brother and two financial backers from Belgium. Although his cause of death was stated as having been a brain aneurysm, many have speculated that he was poisoned so that the news of his invention would not spread and decrease the need for foreign oil. At the time of his death, Stanley Meyer had twenty patents on many water-fueled inventions.

    Significance

    • The invention of a water-fueled car would have a profound effect on today's world. It not only would decrease the reliance on our fossil fuels and foreign oil, but would also mean a healthier environment. A water-powered vehicle would emit pure oxygen, meaning that the toxic fumes we are plagued with would no longer exist. This type of fuel would represent an opportunity for our ozone to essentially "heal."

    Theories/Speculation

    • Stanley Allen Meyer's invention of a water-fueled car was based on his theory of a fuel cell that could split mists of water into hydrogen and oxygen. Rather than using spark plugs, he used an injector that sprayed water into the cylinders of the engine. Once split into seperate compounds of hydrogen and oxygen, the gases would bond and combust into a water vapor which would then produce the energy needed to power the car. Stanley's theories were never proven to be true. On June 13 of this year, Genepax, a Japanese company, claimed to have invented and created the first water-fueled car. Their theory varies slightly from the theory of Stanley Meyer's. Once water is poured into the gas tank, an energy generator inside the car takes the hydrogen from the water, releasing electrons that produce the energy needed to run the car. The cost to produce one of their cars is around nineteen thousand dollars. Reportedly, they are in negotiations to mass-produce the car, reducing the cost of production down to five thousand dollars. However, just twelve days after releasing the news of their creation, Professor Theodosios Korakianitis disputed their claims. Being an expert on alternative fuels, he stated that a car could not run on water alone. This theory is based on the first law of thermodynamics, which basically says energy production is derived from a heat source, not a water source.

    Effects

    • The water4gas supplement kit.

      Amidst all the claims of legitimate water fueled cars, arose an invention called "Water4gas." This is a supplement that can be added to a vehicle without lowering a vehicle's worth. The makers claim that this supplement can be added to a vehicle without having to replace any parts. It produces what is referred to as "Brown's Gas." Rather than running a car on water alone, the gases released from the hydrogen and oxygen combine with gasoline in the carburetor. It works the same way as pure gasoline, but the addition of the Water4gas supplement also uses energy from water to propel the car. The Water4gas supplement is already in use with both cars and eighteen wheelers. It has also been added to police vehicles for the Honea Path Police Department in South Carolina. They have reported an increase in their gas mileage by six to eight miles per gallon.

    Benefits

    • There are many benefits to using a fuel supplement kit. The most obvious is the increase in gas mileage. Many who use this supplemental fuel kit have reported an increase of fifty to two hundred fifty percent, saving consumers between fourteen hundred and two thousand dollars a year in fuel costs. The use of this supplement also allows cars and trucks to emit only oxygen from their exhausts. Not only does this provide for a cleaner environment, but also increases the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. In addition, those who have added this fuel supplement to their vehicles receive a "green vehicles" tax credit. The Federal Government will also extend money to those who want to purchase and install the Water4gas system in their cars. The money received will either cover the cost completely or cover a majority of it. The cost of these systems ranges from fifty dollars into the hundreds of dollars. The kits come with a detailed instructional manual so that they can be installed by the purchaser themselves.
