- Water For Fuel - How To Run Your Car On Water
By: Bill Myers | -
How To Run Your Car On Water
Do you want to learn how to run your car on water? You may have already heard of people who actually converted their cars to run on water, which is a great way to save a lot of money. Their cars still rely on gasoline or diesel for fuel, but they now use water as well to increase their mileage. I have heard of people getting 50% to as much as 130% more miles per gallon. Converting your car to run on water is easier than you think. This arti ...

- Alternative Resources And Possibilities For Alternative Energy In Washington Dc
By: Samson Paulotti | - Energy efficiency, rather than the more conscience-based energy conservation, is a technology-based harnessing of natural resources for power. Conservation seeks to use less energy by turning on lights less often, watching less television, etc, and thereby using less power, but energy efficiency is a science that allows for us to do the same things we normally do, only what we use needs less resources to work. Examples of this science are compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), and high efficien ...

- A Car That Can Run On Water
By: Sarah Staar | - Can you really run a car on water? Some say that's a flat-out scam, others say it's quite possible. With the high price of gas these days, this would be a true wonder car. But before you go adding water to your fuel tank, you need to learn the facts behind the technology.
The secret to adding water to a car for use as fuel, is to use a "kit" or "system." Water and gas can't mix, so these two items must be added to the engine separately. A special "kit" allows water to be converte ...

- Use Of Vegetable Oils And Their Derivatives
By: Terry Farrar | - The term biodiesel has no unambiguous definition. It stands for neat vegetable oils used as DF as well as neat methyl esters prepared from vegetable oils or animal fats and blends of conventional diesel fuel with vegetable oils or methyl esters. With increasing emphasis on the use of esters as DF, however, the term biodiesel increasingly refers to alkyl esters of vegetable oils and animal fats and not the oils or fats themselves.

- The "silver Lining" Of $4/gallon Gas
By: GARKO | - I managed to find somebody yesterday who is optimistic about the US economy! . He was quite an intelligent individual who owns a print and copy shop and owns a masters degree in economics. No dummy. And what he said did make sense to some degree. He forecasted that the devaluation of the dollar is a blessing which will lead to more exporting from the US being possible and that this will lead in the next year or two to a new boom in manufacturing in the USA. I dont know if this is true. But ...

By: Vidar Lura | - Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius said the choice of a grand prize is a good one. "By offering an E85 vehicle as a grand prize, the Lottery and its partners are helping promote an industry that is increasingly important to Kansas," said the Governor. "Demand for ethanol is creating a growing market for Kansas grain."
Good for the ethanol industry, perhaps, but of questionable value as a way to reduce gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. According to official EPA fue ...

- Is Alternative Energy Worththe Investments?
By: Bryan Wong | - Crude oil is expensive, very expensive, that is a fact. Because of these high prices other products like petrol and electricity are following. The prices are going up and down but the trend is up and the trend will not be going down in near future. With the problems in the world we are facing today these prices are also unlikely to be stabilized. One factor that causes the prices to rise is political instability in various parts of the world. These world issues (instability in the East and in A ...

- Geothermal Energy: Energy From The Earth
By: Mike Batta | - The simplest way to get energy is to use what is already there. The heat in the earth is already there and we just need to dig into it to tap it as a source of energy.
On the surface, we can stand the heat of the earth, but deep below, immense power is stored as tremendous heat.
The core of the earth is over 60 times hotter than boiling water. This heat creates pressure that is just below the surface of the earth. In other words, we don't have to go to the center o ...
