There’s some confusion on the DIY hydrogen car kit scene. Many people are promoting it as “running your car on water” and many motorists are thinking it’s a water only system. Some assume you can use water instead of petrol to run your car.

Well, the kit does not run cars on water. It’s just a way drawing attention to what is in fact a very clever hydrogen production systemSo let me set the record straight. The DIY hydrogen car kit is not a system that enables your car to run on water.So what is it then?

It is a simple system that uses electricity from your car battery to produce HHO (hydrogen) from water and inject it into your petrol. The result is more power and vastly higher fuel economy.
It operates on a 100 year old proven technology called electrolysis. Whenever you place two pieces of metal in water, and apply electricity, the water separates into its basic molecules, hydrogen and oxygen (H2O).
H2O molecules in their liquid form, which is water, are connected together. But when you apply electricity (from your car battery) the molecules separate and form a gas (called HHO) which is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. This HHO gas is then sucked into your engine and mixed along with the air from the air filter. As the gasoline is ignited in your engine so is the HHO – making it more powerful than gasoline alone. Experts says this is better than plain hydrogen because you are also making extra oxygen that causes the gasoline to burn faster and cleaner, resulting in better mileage and a much cleaner exhaust emission.

According to experts in the tire industry, millions of Americans are rolling tires with inadequate pressure. These motorists are not aware that their safety is at risk, or how the air pressure of their tires affects the fuel efficiency of the car, the maneuverability of the vehicle and the lifespan of the tires. Many drivers never check the air pressure in their tires, despite it being a simple task that takes no more than two to three minutes.

According to the Department of Energy, USA, a tire inflated just two pounds below recommended pressure, results in an increase of one percent in fuel consumption. When you multiply four tires for several pounds, this could easily increase gasoline consumption by ten percent or more. For many drivers, this would end up costing them a few hundred dollars per annum in gasoline bills.

You should inflate your tires according to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer which is usually written down on the sides of the door or in the manual for your car. If there is a range, always use the highest level of pressure psi indicated.

How Do Auto Navigation Systems Work?

Have you ever given serious thought to the incredible benefits that having an auto navigation system will bring to your life and your travels? The truth of the matter is that the more sophisticated systems on the market today provide much more than simple directions from point A to point B. Today’s auto navigation systems are your one stop travel shop when it comes to finding points of interest, restaurants, fueling stops, and places to sleep along the way.

If you’ve never given it much thought, perhaps learning a little more about how an auto navigation system really works will give you something to think about when you get around to considering the impact that a device such as this can make in your life and the lives of your family members. The thing to remember is that not all GPS or auto navigation systems are equal. There are different manners of creation along with different manners of functionality and design. However, they all work on very similar principles.

GPS systems use satellites that orbit the earth in order to send signals that are received by the GPS device. The system has software that interprets the signal and uses that data in order to form conclusions about the current location based on the time it took to receive the signal from the satellite, and the exact location of the satellite that sent the data. By combining that information a conclusion can be drawn by the GPS or auto navigation system as to the exact position of the GPS device. Three satellites are used in order to determine the point of intersection and a fourth satellite insures the accuracy of the data.
