7 Incredible Advantages Of "Water-Powered Car" Technology To You

No doubts about it, it's now possible to power your car on water as well as gas, instead of 100% gas. Apart from the many advantages that this technology have on the planet, it also has many widespread advantages to many individuals around the world, including YOU.

Below are 7 of these incredible advantages of the water for gas to YOU:

1- Improves your gas mileage by up to 35%. This includes both city and highway driving conditions. Imagine how much money this would save you at the end of the month and at the end of the year. It is estimated that this could save you as much as $897.40 per year. If you are two, three or four drivers in the family, this yearly savings increases dramatically. And what if you have a fleet of 50 drivers in your company? Then your yearly savings will multiply to $44,870. More if you have more drivers.

2- Eliminates harmful exhaust emission that pollute the environment and contribute to global warming. Your engine will ADD oxygen to the environment instead of polluting it. How about doing something good to help the environment for a change?

3- Greatly enhance engine power and performance. The more gas you use on your car, the more the engine gets battered- thus reducing the performance. But by using water as an alternative, this enhances your engine power instead and improves performance.

4- Remove carbon deposits and prevent future carbon build up.

5- Reduce the operating temperature of the engine and waste heat into the environment.

6- You will notice a calmer, quieter and much smoother engine operation and smoother gearshifts. This is due to the effect water has on the combustion cycle inside your engine.

7- Enjoy a longer life expectancy of your engine, especially the pistons, rings and valves.

These are just some of the many advantages of water for gas technology to YOU. Remember, even YOU can build the device needed to make this technology work for YOU, from the comfort of your home.

Useful Tips Before Renting a Car

Many of us need to rent a car at some point during the year, above all for holidays and vacations when we have flown to our destination. The cost of this car hire can be substantial, and in certain countries can be the major expense of a holiday.

Most car rentals nowadays are organised through brokers. Typically these companies search the available vehicles from several of the leading car-rental companies to find the best price. They then add their own commission to the price before giving you a quotation.

The car hire broker may also need to pay a commission to the company that introduced the customer to them.

Because of these factors, different car-hire companies will quote different rates for exactly the same vehicle.

We have found that certain brokers tend to quote lower prices for short hire periods, such as a long-weekend, and others for longer periods. Likewise, some companies will be more competitive for 'bottom of the range' cars, while others offer better prices for luxury vehicles.

As brokers we know which companies tend to be best for each type of rental, but you the customer won't have access to that information. This means that you should always get quotes from at least two, perhaps even three, rental companies if you want to be sure of getting the best available price.

How long before travelling should you book your car rental to get the best price? This can vary as well! It is not generally necessary to book many months in advance, but if you leave it until the last minute popular destinations may not have many cars available - so the companies involved will increase the price.

I think about three to six months before travelling is usually a good compromise, although many people prefer simply to book their car rental as soon as they have booked the other parts of the trip such as flights and accommodation.

You should be aware that certain car hire companies will have a penalty charge if you fail to turn up, while others will allow you to cancel the rental without charge to yourself up until 24 or 48 hours before the rental is due to start. According to your circumstances you might believe it is worth paying a little extra for the peace of mind this flexibility will bring you.

Because the car-hire companies are under pressure to quote a low 'headline cost' they also hope to make money later from additional charges. Extra costs that might be imposed on you include hire of child-seats, hire of a roof rack and additional insurance costs.

Further charges might also be levied if you are over a certain age or need a second driver to be registered to drive the vehicle. All these extra costs can be expensive, and make it difficult to compare quotes from different companies. For this reason, when you compare quotes that you have received from different brokers you need to be very clear about exactly what is included in the quote, and whether further charges will be imposed when you collect the vehicle.

If you are visiting France this year, we recommend you organise your car hire with http://www.francethisway.com/carhirefrance.php where it is easy to compare prices from various suppliers and be guaranteed you are getting the best deal

Car Tips - How to Jump Start a Car

If you can not start your car because the battery has gone flat, then you may be able get it going again by jump-starting it.

What you need: A set of car jump leads, also referred to as booster cables.
A friends car that is working.


Using jump leads is pretty simple and safe if you follow these instructions:

STEPS 1. Position both cars close together so the jump leads will reach both batteries.

2. Then connect the car battery booster cables in this order:

a. Connect (+) positive red cable to the (+) positive terminal on the dead battery.
b. Connect the other end of the (+) positive red cable to (+) positive terminal on the working car.
c. Connect (-) negative black cable to (-) negative terminal on the working car.
d. Connect the other end of the (-) negative cable to the (-) negative terminal on the dead battery.

3. You are now ready to start the working car's engine. Turn off all electrical equipment on the working car (heater, lights, radio, etc.) so that all the battery power is getting used to jump start the dead battery. Let the working car run for a minute or so before you try to start the dead one. Revving the engine in the working car will produce more current and help with jumping the dead battery.

4. Now try and start the dead battery engine by turning the ignition. If it sounds like it is going to start but will not quite go, then rev the working car for a little longer before trying the dead battery again.

5. When the dead battery has started and is running, remove the jump leads.
Do this in reverse order:

a. Disconnect (-) negative black cable from the terminal on dead battery.
b. Disconnect (-) negative black cable from the (-) negative terminal on the working car.
c. Disconnect (+) positive red cable from the (+) positive terminal on the working car.
d. Disconnect (+) positive red cable from the (+) positive terminal on the dead battery.


TIPS

You must let the car that had the flat (dead) battery run for quite a while. If you turn the ignition off quite soon after starting it then it may not start again because there will not be enough charge in the battery. It might be worth taking the car for a drive, or driving the car home and connecting the battery to a battery charger overnight.

Ensure that when you are connecting and removing the jump leads, they do not touch each other and do not come into contact with any moving parts on either engine. Most quality jump leads have the clamps coated with plastic so there is less chance of the metal parts touching parts of the car or engine. This is something to consider when buying your jump leads.

If the battery terminals on either car are dirty and corroded, then they will need to be cleaned up so that the clamps on the jump leads will get a good clean connection.

If the flat battery will not start the car after following this procedure, then the battery could be damaged and faulty inside. It is suggested that you try replacing the dead battery with a borrowed one before you spend money on a new one.

Alternatively, get an auto-electrician/mechanic to check the car over for you.

Save Money on Fuel and Gas - Use Water Hybrid Tech

I was lucky to come across old Popular Science and Popular Mechanic magazines. I read every word with thirst. In the classifieds I found intriguing ads for "free energy" books and plans that sparked my imagination. I ordered some books and the information I found in them was hard to believe - Official US Patents showing clear, easy to follow technologies to generate what seemed feasible free energy to the inventor AND to the US government, through its Patent Office!

One thing was not clear though. How come these inventions lie there in dust and nobody's DOING anything about them? In the big, rich and powerful America?! It took me many years of research to fully realize that there are people who want these technologies suppressed for as long as they possibly can. For profit of course.

It was not hard to figure out that if it took me so much research to get to this information and this understanding, then it follows that the average dude has little chance of finding out. He's being lied to constantly and massively. My father made sure to teach me all about how impossible free energy was. He kept mentioning extracting energy from water. I kept this at the back of my mind and, as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot always says, waited for some truth to present itself.

In 2006 it came to me in the shape of a funny little jar that somebody installed in my truck. He said it would generate energy out of water. I was skeptical but enthusiastic to discover the truth. It took minutes to realize - it was indeed working! With plain water out of the guy's garden hose... It saved gas, drastically suppressed my terrible emissions - and even added some power to my weary 20-year old truck. One of the things I like best was it made the truck very quiet, so I no longer needed to shout on the cellphone or blast the radio.

"A technology so cheap and marvelous must not be put aside - the world must know about this!", I thought to myself and started doing something about it. I became a teacher. After a few short months I had cars running with this "miracle" all over the world: From Norway to Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Ireland and Poland, Austria and Spain, all over the Good Old USA and Latin America. Oops...I forgot to mention good old England.

Did you notice that when you actually experiment with a new technology, even if only a new recipe in the kitchen, that you become wiser and more confident about it? And you get new realizations that you did not get from reading a piece of paper? Well, that's exactly what happened to me. It took me some time and a lot of actual experimentation, to finally wrap my head around this "free energy from water" idea. It came in a flash one day: we are NOT generating free energy like some ridiculous machine diagrams that never take off. We're only REDUCING the 75% waste of normal gasoline engine!

And that's an important realization.

Do you realize that you're driving a very poorly designed car? It has a beautiful finish and some very futuristic looks. But it does poorly on energy. Only 25% of the energy in the gasoline you paid dearly for is actually used for moving forward. 75% is turned into heat (destroys the planet), emissions (unburned fuel), and additionally vibration and carbon deposits that slowly destroys the engine. And plain freaking noise that we just take for granted.

We've all heard and seen "hybrids" but on the highway they are nothing but regular, inefficient cars. Their aerodynamics are a little better, but that's true for many other cars that don't have the Pris looks. It's a great step forward though, if you can afford the price, because they make us think of alternative energy in more earthly terms.

One major solution can be converting your existing car to FULL ELECTRIC (not hybrid - you throw away the engine and put an electric motor and a bunch of batteries), for which conversion kits are available from several companies in the "green mile" of California's Bay Area. The next best thing - but 15 to 60(!) times cheaper - is to convert your existing car to a WATER HYBRID. That is, you leave the engine in there, unmodified or mostly unmodified, and you boost it up with water. Yes, it IS possible! And fairly easy.

From my experimentation with different cars, old and new, I found out that the SYSTEM approach to energy savings works the best. I recommend that you use ALL the technologies listed below to save fuel, because they support and supplement each other. A nice 20% saving here, 5% there, 3% over there, it quickly adds up. You can practically double your mileage and be the envy of the neighborhood.

The 12 ingredients of my "secret recipe" are:

1. Install a water-to-energy converter. These are basically electrolyzes or vapor injectors that use very little energy to boost the poor performance of gasoline as explained above. You can get a fully functional, ready to install system dirt cheap from water4gas

2. Install a fuel warmer such as "Fuel Atomizer 2000" -

3. Replace the spark plug WIRES with "Kiker Wires" from http://kikerperformance.com that improve the sparks by creating magnetic fields.

4. DO NOT, let me repeat this, DO NOT fill up your tank at stations that add 10% ethanol (the mixture is called "gasohol"). Instead, buy some Xylene ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/xylene ) and add it yourself for much better results and fuel economy.

5. Replace your regular engine oil with "AMSoil Series 2000" synthetic oil or similar low-friction oil.

6. Use a bottle or two of fuel treatment such as "AMSoil P.I." to clean up.

7. Install what I call, for lack of a better name, "MSE" (MAP Sensor Enhancer, available from Water4Gas.com and other sources) which is basically a variable resistor to lean the gasoline mixture. At the same time also UNPLUG the upstream Oxygen Sensor. When you do that, you gain back control over the ECU which is one of the major causes of fuel waste. This by itself saves 11%-31% in my Corolla. There is a right way to do it and there is a wrong way to do it, so learn the ropes before adding this powerful ingredient.

8. Driving habits are another major contributor. Before I go into that it is worth to mention that none of the "miracles" above will do much of its magic if your engine is broken. You can't just wish your way past a broken piston - fix it. It's part of your responsibilities as a driver. Now for driving habits, you can read all about it on the Internet, so let me tell you one trick you don't hear about too often, and that's to put your gear into neutral when you go downhill. I have a scan gauge device and (while the water device keeps the engine idling almost without fuel) I get readouts of up to 340 MPG downhill. I have photos to prove it and I believe even higher numbers are possible. That means that for long stretches of road I'm using hardly any gasoline at all.

9. Last is to keep your tires fully pressurized. By "fully" I do not mean "over pressure" because then you lose traction and wear out the tire faster. Only if traction and the life span of the tire are not that important to you for whatever reason, pump 10% or 15% more air than recommended for your vehicle. DO NOT EXCEED the maximum pressure marked on the tire itself!

10. To actually READ the results in real time use the scan gauge-II from http://www.scangauge.com It saves you long trips or road tests. And frankly, it's the only way to tell if certain technologies or driving habits actually work or not. And to what extent.

11. Last but not least is to get your money back. Make your government support you and reward you for doing all the above - see http://thelastgasstation.typepad.com/index/2007/06/tax_incentive_r.html

12. Yeah, and there's one more ingredient to this secret recipe: don't be fooled by self-appointed "experts". How can you tell if one is an expert or a silly bugger? When they tell you "it cannot be done" or "it is scientifically impossible", you ask them - and INSIST on a straight answer - you ask them if they have ever TRIED it themselves, exactly per a specific technology and with TODAY'S cars. You will find out that they haven't. Tell them to bugger off. And don't take my word for it either because maybe I'm a silly bugger just as well. Experiment for yourself! There's no other way of really KNOWING if it is true or not.

How You Can Learn Great Car Tips From Car Clubs

Car clubs are one of the best places to learn some tips and tricks from the professionals who are quite knowledgeable in car related issues. Have you ever had a problem with the bodywork on your car and wished you knew someone you could talk to about it, without having to pay a fortune to take it to a shop? Collector's car clubs offer a great opportunity to network with people who are involved in various aspects of cars and make it so simple to tap into the knowledge that they have to offer.

If you have ever been part of a car club then you know that all the members come from every where. You can have members that are auto parts dealers, car dealers, or even as far out as a race car driver. This is because everyone is brought together by their love for cars if nobody loved cars then there wouldn't be any car shows or car clubs to be in. so that is why you need to get into a car club if you love cars so that you can learn from everyone that is in the same car club as you.

You can learn from a lot of people in your car club. You might even meet some people within your car club that can get you cheap new parts for wholesale prices so that way if you are building a ride it won't cost you as much money as it would have full price. You will meet all kinds of people and people that will want to help you out. You might even meet someone that wants to help you build your car just for the experience and so they can say they helped you.

You should always attend a car meeting at your car club whenever it is called it might be for an important notice or something along those lines. Of course there will be people that are more helpful the others but you may not have that option all of the time so you will need to listen the first time you ask so you don't have to ask again you will already know how and what to do in your type of situation that you may have.

You should also always take any help that is offered even if you don't need it they could say something that will flip the switch in your brain and make you realize how to do what you are wondering. Just remember to always take offered help and never let down your fellow members. They will probably always want to help you just don't take advantage of their help too often. You will want to learn not cheat and make other people do it for you if you don't do it yourself with a little help you will never learn and be able to do it on your own. So go out and start learning how to do things yourself.

5 Tips on Car Maintenance

When it comes to your car, it deserves nothing short of the best. Every car community expert will tell you that maintenance is one of the key things that will keep your car going for a long time to come. Here are some handy tips to help in the upkeep of your car.

i. Oil checking

Your car runs on oil and hence while you need to refill oil every now and then, you also need to make sure that the oil remains clean. Otherwise you risk spoiling the engine. Most car community experts will suggest that you change the oil on a regular basis to prevent the engine shards from getting mixed up with the oil. Make sure to keep a tab on leaks as having a leak can mean running without oil, which can be disastrous for the engine of your car! Ideally as every car community site will tell you, you need to change oil once in every 3 months and completely replace with brand new oil.

ii. Tire pressure

The next thing you need to keep a close watch on is the tire pressure. Regular checks on tire air can help you save on costs associated with fuel expenses. As any car community expert will tell you, ideally you need to keep your tires filled and inflated, even if you feel they are not that squishy. You can easily procure a tire gauge yourself and keep checking on the air pressure. Even too much air can be bad so make sure to remove the excess also. You will also need to regularly keep a watch on tread wear on the tires.

iii. Wiper blade

Usually wiper blades give way when you need them the most. That's why you need to regularly keep a close tab on them. Make sure to check if they're working fine, on a regular basis. Every car community site and expert says that this is most neglected part of the car and it is high time owners gave it more attention. By keeping them in good order you save yourself the trouble of being stranded in rain due to bad visibility!

iv. Vacuuming

When you regularly vacuum your car you not only preserve its beauty but also pave the way for a good resale value later on. Every car community site will quickly tell you that regular vacuuming can take years off your car! If you are feeling a little lazy and don't want to do the vacuuming yourself just take it to a nearby vacuum station! You can use their vacuum machines by paying one or two quarters.

v. Washing underneath

Your car goes through a lot while you ride it. Right from mud, corrosive salty water to even snow - a lot gets accumulated on the underside of your car. This can erode at the vital mechanical parts on the bottom of your car, which is why every car community expert will advise you to give it a wash regularly.

Car Repair - How to Change a Flat Tire

Introduction:

There are two different ways that you can use to approach changing the tires on your car. One way is to take your car to a professional automotive repair shop and spend a great amount of money for their services. Another way is to learn how to do it yourself by following these quick easy to do steps that I am about to show you right now.

Steps:

Step one -- All vehicles today should be well equipped with a personal car jack and a personal tire iron hidden some where in the car. Reading your car manual usually located in the glove box should show you where to locate these items.

Step two -- After you have found your personal car jack and tire iron you are now ready to do this next step. There is usually a specific spot under your car where your personal car jack is suppose to go. You should make sure that you find the spot where your flat tire is located.

Step three -- Always loosen the lug nuts on the tire you are about to change first before you start jacking up your car. You would turn your tire iron counter clockwise just enough to loosen the lug nuts so that the lug nuts would come off easier when you jack the car up.

Step four -- You can now start jacking your car up just enough to where the tire is about one inch off of the ground.

Step five -- Start taking off every lug nut that you started to loosen earlier. You can also remove the flat tire from the car and put on your spare tire all with in this same step.

Step six -- Put all your lug nuts back on and turn your tire iron clock wise just enough to make sure your tire is on tightly. Start jacking your car back down until all of the weight of car is on the tire and not your jack.

Step seven -- Grab your personal tire iron again and with all your might start to fully tighten each one of the lug nuts on your tire.

Conclusion:

All these steps should help and teach you how to change your own flat tire. I hope these steps i have shared with all of you would give you a better vision on how to do it yourself.

I would always hate it when my tire would blow out or my car would break down in the middle of no where. Then i would have to sit and wait there for about two to three hours until a tow truck would show up just because i never learned how to fix it myself. Does this sound like you or someone you know that could use a little help. I have a website at http://www.kelkala.blogspot.com/ that will teach you many different secrets on how you can troubleshoot your own car. You will also learn how to fix and repair it yourself at http://www.kelkala.blogspot.com/ so that you can save money and time.

Basic Airbag Safety

Air bags are very complex systems. By what mechanism do they deploy? In what instances are they designed to deploy? When are they not meant to? These are all questions that will be addressed in later posts. For now however, I will concentrate in what I see as the most immediately relevant to the motoring public.

Airbags are meant to supplement the seat belts in restraining a vehicle occupant in the event of an accident. Their role as a supplementary restraint system (hence SRS) cannot be stressed enough. Seat belts will restrain occupants in events in which the air bag will not offer any protection (and therefore will not deploy), such as rear end collisions, roll overs, and T-Bone collisions (in referring to frontal airbags). Moreover, air bags will only deploy once, while an accident might actually involve multiple collisions. Furthermore, airbags are designed to deploy in crashes of a pre-determined severity level. However, this does not mean that crashes that fall below this deployment criteria will not hurt you... and so you see the importance of seat belts.

Think of a deploying airbag. While in slow motion (as you are likely used to seeing the deployment) it may resemble a slow, soft pillow that gently cradles the driver's (or passenger's) upper torso and face, in reality a deploying airbag is a violent event. It inflates and completely deflates in less time than it takes to blink your eyes, and is quite capable of fracturing your orbital bone, collapsing your lungs and breaking your neck. I have seen multiple cases in which fractures to the forearm bones occur from a deploying airbag. They can cause severe permanent damage. How to best avoid these injuries you ask? By not being out of position at the moment of deployment.

Think of it as the difference between the occupant coming into contact with the deployed airbag, and the deploying airbag coming into contact with the occupant. The best way to avoid a deploying airbag, is to be a properly belted occupant, seated no less than 10-12in. from the SRS module (See Owner's Manual). It's no good to be a properly belted occupant if you are sitting too close. The airbag will still impact you while it is deploying.

It is also important to note that not all impacts occurs like the one shown above, without any prior frontal deceleration. In many occasions the driver may attempt to apply the brakes before the collision, throwing the body forward before the collision and subsequent deployment. This will place you in the way of the deploying airbag if not buckled and seated properly, and increase the risk of serious injury.

Basic Tractor Fixes

You have just bought a used tractor and things are going wrong. Don't worry, one of these basic fixes might help you and save you money.

Basic Fix #1 - Dies when warmed up
When the tractor warms up it suddenly dies although it worked fine to start with. Usually this is the condenser. Best to replace rather than messing around testing.

Basic Fix #2 - Good battery won't actuate the starter
Don't just replace the starter. Check the connections at your battery cables. If these are very warm, they are probably the wrong gauge. Also do a basic check to make sure all connections are good and firm.

Basic Fix #3 - Wont start in wet weather & high moisture times
Check the distributor cap for moisture. Dry it out and off you go.

Basic Fix #4 - Overheating motor and/or not charging
Don't start replacing everything and emptying your wallet. First check the belt to the cooling fan is the correct type and tension.

Basic Fix #5 - Boiling out radiator fluid
Your tractor boils radiator fluid whenever as soon as it warms up. Check the cap is the right size and that the seal is intact. If not then your radiator can boil at normal temperatures.

Basic Fix #6 - Engine burning oil
If everything seems to be going OK but you are worried by oil smoke from the exhaust. Likely you have the wrong weight of oil. Too light and it gets drawn into the engine. Check your owner manual or take a look at the internet for advice.

Car Accessory - Important, Extremely Important

One of the things that is hugely instrumental in enhancing the utility of car manifold is car accessory. Strange then, that they don't command the importance they should be and this leads to the performance of the car being affected in a big way. It is, therefore, of utmost importance that car accessories get their due importance while one purchase a car. It is, therefore, of utmost importance that they be treated seriously. Any neglect here can lead to the value of car taking a serious beating. This can be understood by some examples.

It might appear to many that car mats are of not much importance but a closer scrutiny would reveal that they have some great utility value attached to them. For example they are essential for protecting the car from dust and water. Similarly roof boxes are also of significant importance. They play a very important role when one has to travel with lot of things specially boxes. They also prove their utility in such instances when one is going for fishing etc. The fishing rod etc. can easily be put on the car roofs. However, while talking about car accessories one must understand that the most important of all the car accessories is car stereo. The importance can simply not be overlooked.

The biggest advantage of car accessories like car stereo is that it entertains one while he is travelling. Such an effect it has that longest of the journeys are rarely felt as time flies by. It also helps one to listen to news and discussions. The value of such a car accessory, therefore, can easily be understood.

The above account should make it clear the importance of car accessories as well as the fact that they are far too important to be given a cold shoulder.
