Executive Summary of Water4Gas

Water4Gas is a technology based on splitting water on board a vehicle, and using the resulting Hydrogen and Oxygen gases NOT to drive the vehicle – but to boost the efficiency of its GASOLINE combustion. 100% water cars are not in our scope of activity.

Water4Gas is a Do-It-Yourself technology, specifically designed for beginners with no special tools and very limited budgets. A complete working system can be built at home with basic hand tools for $20-$100, installed in minutes and removed in seconds.

No modifications to the engine, computer or fuel injection systems, therefore any backyard mechanic can install it easily.

What can be called “water-fuel technology” is age old, over 91 years. All we’ve done is raise it from the dead and develop a simple structure based on low cost hardware. Although there is a myriad of hydrogen generating designs out there, ours is the simplest and also the safest for the beginner. The electrolyzer, bubbler and water reservoir have all been combined into one super-simple device.

Another technological advantage is the employment of coiled/spiraled electrode WIRES – rather than flat plates or spiraled plates. The magnetic vortex created by the coil assists water splitting, so we don’t need as much power from the car’s electrical system, thus simplifying the system even further and lowering its cost.

Three major factors work together to cause water splitting: direct current flowing through the electrode wires to the water, the magnetic vortex created by the shape of the electrodes, and the vacuum provided by the engine itself.

In a nutshell, the effects of this technology is lowered emissions and improved mileage, thanks to a MORE COMPLETE COMBUSTION. Today’s internal combustion engines suffer from poor efficiency of 20%-25%, as any mechanic will tell you; 75%-80% of the gasoline, instead of being converted to forward motion, is instead converted to pollution and carbon deposits (unburned fuel), as well as heat (global warming), vibration and noise.

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS OVERSIZED FUEL DROPLETS IN THE MIXTURE. The Hydrogen, being the smallest particle in nature, hits a droplet, cuts it into smaller droplets and attaches itself to the smaller droplets. Now the finer, hydrogen-enhanced gasoline mist, is capable of burning more thoroughly.

On top of improved performance, the engine steam-cleans itself every day, and the resulting effect is smoother and quieter operation. One of our staff was shocked when she checked her 4-month-old engine oil and was sure that she had run out of oil… Actually what happened was that while she was expecting a dirty dark brown oil, the oil was so transparent that she could not see it on the dip stick! Her 20-year-old car is as smooth now (with 1 Water4Gas device on) as it was when she bought it 17 years ago.

Another lady “complained” that she could not hear the engine running…but to her surprise the car was still running along.

Our technology is not capable of running a car on water alone. Our aim is not to replace gasoline but to enhance it – and open the door and the mind to the possibilities of water-fuel technology. With correct fine tuning we can double a vehicle’s mileage, rendering a new energy balance: half gasoline, half water. Very little water is used, in an economy car it’s around 2700 miles per gallon of distilled water, together with 4-6 teaspoons of household baking soda as catalyst. We have demonstrated how the fuel consumption of a generator can also be cut in half.

Not all cars, loads and driving conditions will gain the same, obviously. For ethical reasons we do not build up expectations for more than 10%-50% improvement in fuel economy, however we are getting daily success stories from experimenters who are seeing gains of 80%-100% in various vehicles. For some, significant economy gains inflict a revelation that something can be done about it, while for others it’s a life changing factor.

We sell books that teach EVERYTHING about the technology and how to manufacture it. At the time of writing (January 2008) we have more than 9000 satisfied customers, over 600 registered independent manufacturers/installers.

All in all, Water4Gas has become a buzzword for practicality and affordability. Our policy is to guide the readers toward a mindset of an experimenter rather than a robotic driver that takes things for granted. We teach them that something can be done about gas prices, pollution and global warming, and they gladly take an active role and help us spread the word.
