Brown's Gas And Your Car

By Sinclair Sonny

Water burns. It is no stretch of imagination. Water burns.

Based on new discoveries in the US, believe it or not, water can be used to weld metals, cut through inch thick steel, and even fuel your car.

How is this done? By using a system that turns ordinary water into a gas called Brown's Gas, into its constituent parts, Hydrogen and Oxygen. When these two gases are then combined and given spark, it creates an implosion that releases a tremendous amount of heat and energy.

Brown's gas was discovered by California inventor and Professor Yul Brown. He has developed a system (since patented) that will convert plain tap water to a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. This is essentially another state of water besides solid ice, water, or steam.

Brown's gas can be used for many things, from desalinating any water into pure drinking water, welding, create a vacuum to pump water, sublimate tungsten, and cut steel.

Brown's gas is efficient, safe, clean and inexpensive. Already there are some Brown's Gas Welders available, based on his designs. Though these early models are from perfected and currently cost more than regular welders, the long-term savings from their use offset the cost of acquisition. This means welders no longer need dangerous oxy-acetylene tanks. Water and electricity and Professor Brown's system will suffice.

Another way in which the discovery of Brown's gas is significant is on the area of fuel efficiency and gas saving.

Brown's gas is a critical component of Hydro Assist Fuel Cell or HAFC, a newly introduced system that significantly reduces gas consumption in motor vehicles.

HAFC technology's effectiveness is based on its ability to extract a hydrogen-oxygen mixture - yes, the aforementioned Brown's gas - from water by ionization using the car's electricity generated from the motor. The Brown's gas is then added to the fuel before it is burned in the engine. This adds explosiveness to the mixture making the fuel burn more easily and more powerfully.

The Brown's gas extracted from the water kin the cell is used to enrich the fuel mixture. Enriched fuel is more combustible and has more power. This allows the car to use less fuel but get the same if not greater amount of burn.

Studies have shown that the HAFC system can improve gas mileage in internal combustion engines by at least 50%. This is a really dramatic increase in fuel efficiency, although of course mileage gains will vary from car to car. The savings will also depend on the usage and load of the car. The beauty of the HAFC System is that it will work on all existing gas based cars. And best of all, it will be compatible with other emerging gas saving technologies such as Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter technology or PICC.

These are currently some of the promising uses for Brown's Gas. It is a discovery that will greatly benefit many industries particularly the auto industry. Once brown's gas and the use of HAFC go mainstream, it will greatly lessen America's reliance on oil, as well as empower consumers.
