Water powered cars!
June 13th, 2008
I heard a story on the news last night about the Saint Lucie County Sheriff’s Department experimenting with hydrogen powered cars. There is a locally made unit in Fort Pierce called the Hydro 4000 that can be installed on existing gas powered cars to add hydrogen to the mix to improve gas mileage, emmissions and apparently even horsepower.
The units are reportedly around $1,200 a piece but given the cost of gas these days they could pay for themselves very quickly. They are rumored to increase gas mileage on cars anywhere up to and above 50%. Imagine having to fill your tank up half as much. The only catch is these things need to have distilled water in them to operate but distilled water is four or five times less per gallon than gasoline. I’m eager to see the results of the sheriff’s experiment and possibly look into getting one of these installed on my own gas guzzler.
Does anyone out there know anything more about these things? Where you can get them or even have one already that you can tell us about?
