A vehicle that gets one hundred miles on four ounces of water? It is true folks that we may have this vehicle now. Not only may we have it, but the U.S. Army has purchased one for testing. They bought a Hummer. So how is this possible? Why haven't we heard much about this? Well I have to say that I wondered about this myself, but then I heard that one U.S. auto company is already in negotiations to buy the process that allows cars to run on water. Sounds too fantastic to be true, doesn't it? It also makes you wonder how the oil companies are going to stop this one, or how they plan to profit from it if they can't stop it? In the beginning, when I first heard about this through a former associate of mine, I found it hard to believe, but now I realize that it could be legitimate and the word is spreading like wildfire.

It all started out when a home inventor, working out of a garage, much like the Apple's inventors did in the past, was trying to work on a safe replacement for acetylene gas for welding. I could understand this, having seen a welding accident first hand myself. When I was in the U.S. Army, I was in charge of the motor pool and we used to do a lot of welding using gas. Somehow one of the tanks exploded, turned around and took off through the roof like a rocket. It was just by the grace of God that no one was hurt. A less volatile form of gas for welding would be happily accepted by the welding community. Here is where I ordinarily would give you the name of the inventor, but I have a slight problem since some people say his name is Denny Klein and others say it is Jim Klein. Be that as it may, he has hit on an invention that just might be the greatest of the century, in practical terms.

His company is called Hydrogen Technology Applications and he is the president, chairman, ceo and chief bottle washer. His process converts ordinary water, H2O to HHO. This new gas is very stable like water and yet it has tremendous power. A welding torch can create the heat of the sun when the flame is pointed at a metal. Here is the really strange part of the story, even though the flame is as hot as the sun, the metal tip of the torch is cool enough to hold. This really has to freak out anyone that has seen someone do that. As the welding is going on, you can actually see beads of water occasionally slide down the material, hinting where the source of the power is coming from. Klein worked on this process for welding and cutting until it finally dawned on him, he had something far more valuable than just a conversion system for welding. He had discovered the holy grail of fuel.

According to him, he installed his system into a car that he made a hybrid, that ran on gasoline and his Aquygen (the trade name of the product) and away he went. He claims that he gets 100 miles on about 4 ounces of water. Klein is not alone. Steve Ryan from Auckland, New Zealand claims to also have invented a process that turns tap water into fuel. He claims that in about 40 minutes he can make enough fuel to power his Suzuki 350cc motorcycle. He appeared on New Zealand television with his invention. Are we headed to a future that will give us free fuel? Don't believe it, that will never happen if mass murder has to be committed.

It has been known for hundreds of years that water contains hydrogen and in the late 1700s Antoine Lavosisier split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Over the years many people have tried to find a process to extract this hydrogen in an efficient way, so that it could be used as fuel for combustion engines and yet not create the danger of explosions. Guido Franch claimed he had invented a way to turn water into fuel in the 1950s and pursued this through the 1970s. He had a pill that you were supposed to drop in a gallon of water to convert it into fuel. He claimed he got the formula from a German Scientist who died, that he used to work with. He even went so far as to hold demonstrations where it is said that he would drop a pill into a gallon of water, then pour it into a lawn mower and cut the grass. He would then solicit investors. He was taken to court on two occasions, the first time he was acquitted, but not the second.

So changing water into fuel is possible, but up to now it seemed that it would take more energy to do than it would return. That is why we haven't seen a water to hydrogen powered car so far. If the new processes can accomplish this conversion right in your vehicle while you are driving, then we will really have something. We might be able to use water that is unfit for drinking and in this way, we won't effect the amount of water available for our everyday lives. Let's hope that we see this come to pass.
