Understanding water as a fuel
Water can be used as a fuel. Okay, so maybe you don’t understand how.
Ask yourself this, do your really understand what Hydrocarbon fuel is? How it works, what are its component parts? It’s a simple, yet fascinating study and requires very little time to gain a basic understanding of it. Having this data will also clarify the ideas on the use of water as a fuel.
Controversy, confusion and misinformation can only occur where people are uninformed of the basic data of a subject.
How could two liquids which appear to be so dissimilar have any similarity?
       
Water is clear, very abundant and is used for many things including cleaning and nourishing life.
   
  
Crude Oil is a heavy black sticky substance found in underground pockets of the earth formed from decomposed vegetation and fish. Oil is quite antipathetic to life organisms. However, the products obtained from crude oil have been very beneficial to improving our way of life. Fuels, plastics, and other items
There are several concerns connected with crude oil and its products: We are dependant on our oil supply from countries who could and do use it for political gains. Local drilling could cause major pollution in our rivers and oceans. Widespread use of gasoline pollutes our air.
Hydrocarbons fuels are, as indicated by their name, made up of hydrogen and carbon.
This hydrocarbon molecule has 8 carbon atoms (the large ones) and 18 hydrogen atoms. It is called Octane. Because of the long chain of carbon molecules it is heavy enough to form a liquid which you know as gasoline.
Here is a chart to help you understand the various types of hydrocarbons you may be familiar with.
 
You have heard of Carbon monoxide and Carbon Dioxide, two bi-product of gasoline combustion. So lets be sure of what these are:
Carbon Monoxide
 
 
1 carbon atom with one oxygen atom forms a poisonous gas.
Carbon Dioxide
1 carbon atom with 2 oxygen atoms.
Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by plants and combines with water molecules to form sugar for the plant and releases oxygen into the air. The carbon and hydrogen are stored in the tree.
Finally we have Water. It is made up of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom. The hydrogen atoms are being carried by an Oxygen atom. To form water, the H20 molecules form a chain. Here are four short chains of water. They can vary in length and can break apart as in the evaporation process
The common element in water and crude oil is Hydrogen.
Oxygen is needed by both hydrogen and hydrocarbons to create combustion.
The Combustion Process:
Combustion is the process of taking a fuel and unleashing its energy to do work. In other words, its a controlled explosion. Fuel, oxygen (from the air) and a heat source (spark, match, etc.) must be present for combustion to take place. Sometimes the heat source can be a sudden compression of the fuel mixture as in a diesel engine.
This is an interesting chart of what reactions during combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel. (Note that the fuel contains double molecules of hydrogen (H2) and double molecule of Oxygen (02), the same fuel particles we obtain from water separation.)
PARTICLES IN AIR + PARTICLES IN FUEL >>> EXHAUST GASES
Oxygen (O2) Carbon (C) Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Hydrogen (H2) Carbon monoxide (CO)
Nitrogen (N2) Sulphur (S) Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
Oxygen (O2) Excess O2
Water vapour Nitrogen (N2) Nitrogen oxides (NOx )
Water (H2O) Nitrogen (N2)
Water vapour
Soot
The fuel created from Water is Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O) known as HHO gas.
PARTICLES IN AIR + PARTICLES IN FUEL >>> EXHAUST GASES
No air required Hydrogen (H2) Water (H20)
Oxygen (0)
No waste. No Pollution. You end up with a water molecule that is ready to absorb energy from the sun and be on its way, to later be in a rain shower or thunder storm. Its pretty nice to know you could recycle your fuel!
When HHO is injected into a gasoline engine's air stream it enriches the air with additional oxygen and hydrogen.
The addition of the HHO means less gasoline is needed to get the same amount of power. More HHO, less gasoline, less pollutants and the same power. So you’re not only saving money, but reducing emissions that pollute our air.
If you made it to here, you now understand what all the excitement is about. It really is as simple as that. This is not new data, but to billions of people, it is.
Welcome aboard.
