Japanese automotive maker Honda has just unveiled the production of its new line of cars that run on alternative fuels. The Honda hydrogen car, Honda FCX Clarity, is the latest range of hydrogen-powered cars that we will soon see on the roads. Other manufacturers such such BMW, GM and Ford all have their own range of cars that run on hydrogen fuel. However, the Honda FCX will be the world’s first -ever commercial production of such vehicles. The increasing use of alternative fuels to power our cars is significant especially in view of the rapidly-rising oil prices.
The Honda FCX, first introduced as a prototype at the 2005 Tokyo Motor show, can save you significantly on fuel costs. The car can go for 280 miles before refueling is needed. Its fuel efficiency is the equivalent of 74 MPG on a regular gas-powered car (the average fuel efficiency of a family-sized car in the United States is about 20 MPG)
While the arrival of the Honda hydrogen car is good news, Honda will only be producing about 70 of these cars per year. The reality is that, these high-tech vehicles will likely be priced beyond the reach of average consumers like you and me, especially with the low supply and “novelty” value. The mass appeal of hydrogen powered cars will be very limited simply because there are very few hydrogen-filling stations in the United States, or anywhere else in the world.
So, what alternative fuel options do the average car driver have? There is an cheap but powerful alternative to the hydrogen-powered car - the HHO fuel cell kit. This do-it-yourself kit has been touted by many as the answer to beat the high oil prices. In short, this device produces HHO gas (or hydroxy), which when used to supplement gasoline, can drastically increase our cars’ fuel efficiency. HHO gas has the atomic power of hydrogen, BUT burns with the chemical stability of water. Best of all, HHO gas can be produced through electrolysis, using one of the cheapest and most abundant natural resources around us - WATER!
The technology behind the production and use of HHO gas is not complicated. It has been around for almost a century, and has been brought to media attention only recently because of the high oil prices. Many people who have assembled their own HHO fuel cell kit have testified that it has been saving them thousands of dollars in gas costs. But why not? They are practically running their cars on water, even if partly so. Good water-to-gas conversion guides are also readily available online, making it easier for anyone to own this technology.
The Honda hydrogen car is here, but you have a better alternative in using water to power your car. You save money and go green at the same time. Your refueling trips to the gas pumps need not be a dreaded affair.
