In the recent time, where oil prices are touching the sky, there has been the need for finding better options to oil to reduce the dependency upon oil and gas as much as possible. It is the undeniable fact that the present high oil prices are forcing almost all countries, including oil rich nations, to think for some other substitute like water fuel cells based technology which would be helpful to run cars and even heavy vehicles on water.
The “water fuel cells” based concept is invented by American Stanley Meyer, who claimed that water can convert the required component elements to run the car, hydrogen and oxygen. In 1989, he designed the device to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water using electricity, by method other than water electrolysis. Meyer, during his experiments, claimed that he could show how a 1.6 liter Volkswagen dune buggy could be run on water instead of gasoline. Meyer had also demonstrated his skill for station Action 6 News and showed the estimated that only 22
US gallons (83 liters) of water were enough to travel from
Los Angeles to
New York.
However, many auto experts believe that Stanley Meyer’s invention was not “water fuel cells” in true sense but it would be more correct to name it as “electrolytic cell.” In the
United States, the concept of “water fuel cells” is picking up great momentum, as people are eager to know more about it. The concept is the mixture of gasoline and water to generate enough propelling fuel to run the car on water. If this concept is widely used and auto manufacturers start producing “water fuel cells” technology based vehicles, billions of dollars could be saved. The precious oil as natural resources could be saved for use for hundreds of years in the future, and we will soon be able to live in a cleaner and healthier environment.
The recent trials of "water fuel cells" have shown very encouraging.
