Water For Gas: Scam Or The Real Deal?

Using water for gas is becoming a popular topic, as people are looking for ways to improve gas mileage. But what do we know about it? Is it just a scam? A recent segment on one of the big networks dismissed it without comment. The water power wasn’t looked at or discussed, leaving many questions. So let’s look at it here, and you can be the judge.

Using water gas is a process that breaks down water using small amounts of energy. This allows HHO gas to be extracted from the water through the process of electrolysis. This creates Brown Gas, which is a burnable fuel. This gas is then combined to power a vehicle along with regular gasoline.

The water energy produced is safe and non-explosive. It has been tested and proven to work by Bell Laboratories. There are not peer-reviews, but there are anecdotal reports and evidence. It is also being reported that the government and corporations are conversing with the developers of water gas. Many videos are on the Internet that demonstrate the process of using water and creating Brown Gas, in addition to personal testimonies and experts.

Using water energy to improve gas mileage is a new phenomena, but as the price of gas continues climbing, more and more individuals are converting their vehicles to run on water gas. In order to convert a car to run on water gas, a kit must be purchased. These kits contain instructions, usually in the form of e-books and manuals. Tools that can be found at any hardware store are also needed in order to make the conversion, averaging approximately $65.



Those who have converted their vehicles to run on water energy report a 35%-70% increase in fuel efficiency. Better engine performance and a longer engine life are also being reported by those using water gas.

Car companies design vehicles to get poor gas mileage. Only 25% of the energy in a gallon of gas is used, and 75% is wasted. Instead of making vehicles more fuel efficient, catalytic converters were designed to cook this extra 75% of the fuel before exiting the tailpipe. Car companies are even installing devices in many vehicles to prevent hydrogen generators from converting water to gas that must be disabled. Now you decide who the scam artists are.
