That would be nice\u201d.\u00a0 I can understand their skepticism.\u00a0 We are just not taught to think for ourselves and believe the easy solution.\u00a0 The rich want to get richer and they want us to believe we are stuck in homage to them.<\/p>\n<p>When the internal combustion engine was originally developed it was supposed to run our cars on hydrogen \u2013 freely available in the air and water around us.\u00a0 Gas wasn\u2019t available to us on every other street corner.\u00a0 The problem was that hydrogen gas is explosive and we couldn\u2019t figure out a safe way to store hydrogen in our vehicles.\u00a0 So, with American ingenuity we started developing gas as a readily available source for fuel.\u00a0 Eventually we exceeded our own resources by our demand.\u00a0 In doing so we have made many men wealthy and funded the very terrorists we now fight.<\/p>\n<p>OK.\u00a0 The solution: use hydrogen to fuel our vehicles.\u00a0 How, you ask.\u00a0 The car companies have been working on this for years.\u00a0 They say we are years off from developing the technology.\u00a0 It is true that we are years from safely running a vehicle 100% on hydrogen.\u00a0 But, what if I told you any car or truck could safely and easily be converted to run on hydrogen and gas, or hydrogen and diesel, or hydrogen and bio-fuel for less than $300.\u00a0 For many people that is the excess they pay for gas in a month.\u00a0 I used to be a courier and spent $600 a month on gas when prices were $2.<\/p>\n<p>I converted my vehicle to run on hydrogen and gas.\u00a0 I went from 15 mpg driving in the city to more than 30 mpg city driving.\u00a0 I\u2019m been thinking of taking a long trip to see how much my mileage improves on the highway.\u00a0 The truck has more noticeable power, runs quietly, and has an overall improved performance.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take special tanks or modifications to the engine.\u00a0 In fact, after buying a book with the instructions to convert for $97, my conversion took less than $60 and about an hour.\u00a0 It was relatively easy, especially considering I am by no means mechanically inclined when it comes to engines.\u00a0 Believe me, if I can do it, you can do it.<\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t the car companies offer this simple technology that has been around for as long as my grandparents have lived?\u00a0 The only answer I can think of is money \u2013 they want you to buy expensive new hybrid vehicles.\u00a0 Can you imagine if most Americans caught on and converted their vehicles?\u00a0 Gas prices would fall drastically as demand for gas fell.<\/p>\n<p>It is so easy and yet so many are skeptical because it is so easy.\u00a0 It will not void car warranties because you don\u2019t modify the mechanics of the vehicle.\u00a0 It is totally reversible, but why you would want to is beyond me.\u00a0 It is safe, cheap and produces totally green emissions \u2013 no pollution \u2013 the exhaust is water.\u00a0 It cleans your engine, gives more power and costs about $0.31 a month for hydrogen fuel.<\/p>\n<p>There are 1000\u2019s of people who have done the conversion, some for a number of years.\u00a0 I am now trying to get the financing to offer the conversions from a shop location.\u00a0 In the meantime I convert an average of 3 cars a day from my home, charging $300 each (at least until the homeowners association shuts me down).\u00a0 My brother finally decided to try it out and will be converting a truck in Arkansas that he needs to drive to Nevada, pulling a trailer.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, the inexpensive fuel I use \u2013 water.\u00a0 That\u2019s right &#8211; totally safe, inexpensive, readily available, non-flammable water.\u00a0 I use less than 2 quarts per month.\u00a0 A pint should get you a couple of hundred miles.<\/p>\n<p>This is by far the easiest, safest method for the average person to take control and cheaply stop our dependence on foreign oil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Stop Dependence on Foreign Oil Every other day we hear about a new record high gas price.\u00a0 Just recently the national average hit the $4 mark.\u00a0 Some areas are lower and other areas are higher.\u00a0 The news for the future doesn\u2019t look promising for prices.\u00a0 Some are predicting we will hit the $5 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[105,67,321,144,7,336],"class_list":["post-8886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-machine","tag-bio","tag-grand","tag-national","tag-ok","tag-rich","tag-vote"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8886\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
