Water4gas Scam – Rip-off Or Not

The price of the goods we need every day seems to increase every time you visit your grocery store. Inflation is on the rise for over a year now. An economic downturn and a rise in oil prices is often blamed for this state of affairs. Indeed, the upward movement of prices is no more apparent than at the gas pump. With gas prices as high as they are, it’s easy to see why people are starting to seek out alternatives to save money on fuel costs. One of the newest fads out there these days is something frequently called water for gas, or “water4gas.”

As appealing as it sounds, is it true that you can really use water for gas? Putting water into the combustion engine of your car or any other vehicle would be pretty catastrophic for that engine. It would mess up the engine and ruin your car. So does it mean the water4gas is a lie? In fact, it can be done, but it has to be implemented a different way, and it is not in a way most people would imagine.

Water4gas is a bit of misnomer because the water is not the actual alternative fuel, but rather provides the elements hydrogen and oxygen to create the reactive process to boost gasoline performance and economy. There is no dispute that hydrogen gas burns more cleanly and efficiently than ethanol-based gasoline and unlike gasoline, produces no emissions other than ordinary water vapor.

The concept behind water for gas systems is that supplying small amounts of hydrogen will help your car burn gasoline more efficiently. Thus, your car will consume less gas. You can conceivably create an alternative source of power for your car by splitting water into its component atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. Sound far-fetched? Not, really, NASA sends its shuttles into space using the same hydrogen fuel.

What the majority of the various water4gas systems currently out there do is provide instructions for converting your car to use water4 gas technology. Some online sources sell the kits that you put together and then install on your vehicle. For downloadable versions of the water4gas systems, you need to build it yourself by following the instructions provided and purchasing your own materials.

Many people believe that any technology that has not been proven is bogus. Many people argue that these system counter the laws of physics and canot work. If you look up the term “water4gas” on Google or Yahoo, you will find dozens of sites that claim the system will save money and just as many that hold that the water for gas idea is ridiculous. There are several online forums where water4gas technology is discussed quite heatedly. You will find both vehement opponents and stubborn defenders of the technology there.

Whether or not the water4gas system is a lie or the truth, gas prices are decidedly unfavorable. A tried and true way for reducing the amount of money spent on gas has not happened yet and people are still waiting for this to happen. The car manufacturers Honda and BMW are just beginning to design and produce cars that are powered by hydrogen fuel. Just in time for summer 2008, Honda is planning to release its first hydrogen fuel cell car available for the public. The Clarity FCX will be available for leasing only in limited areas of Southern California.
