Although the price of gas at the pumps has eased significantly, thanks to the lowering of the price of crude in international markets, there is still much to be concerned about. For one, there is the global economic downturn that pretty soon we will all be feeling significantly. Now is the time to be saving money and for looking at ways to cut costs.

One of the biggest expenditures for American households is gasoline, especially if there are two cars. It is not an option for a family not to use one of the vehicles or to sell off one, therefore, if the only way is to lower consumption by finding fuel saving options to increase gas mileage.

There are several things you can do to increase you fuel savings and increase your gas mileage: keep your car in tip-top shape, use alternative fuels, make your own bio diesel, and modify your car to use Liquefied Petroleum Gas or (LPG). LPG is cheaper and burns more cleanly than regular fuels, and is much more earth friendly.

However, to truly be able to save on gas, you can take a look at two emerging fuel saving technologies that look very promising – Hydro Assist Fuel Cell (HAFC) technology and Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter (PICC) technology.

What is HAFC Technology?

Hydro Assist Fuel Cell technology is a two-part fuel efficiency system. First, it extracts a hydrogen-oxygen mixture from water through ionization using the electricity created by the engine. This hydrogen-oxygen, called Brown’s Gas, is added to the fuel mixture before it is burned in the engine. It is obvious that you can save a lot because part of your fuel comes from water, which is free.

The HAFC system also uses several powerful magnets to ionize the gasoline and break it down to smaller molecules that burn more rapidly. Better gasoline plus explosive brown’s gas yields a very potent fuel mixture. It is a more explosive mixture, meaning more power, less greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately uses less fuel.

Based on early studies, HAFC system has the potential to produce gas savings of at about 50%.

What is PICC System?

The Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter or PICC system is a relatively old technology, which is being revisited and being used in a new novel way. PICC is an experimental system that even in its developmental stage promises to increase gas mileage by 5 times.

Catalytic converters are not new, not by a long shot. These are already installed in the car’s emission systems and used for cleaning post engine emissions by breaking down the large gas molecules left un-burnt in your engine. This breaks the fuel into smaller particles that can be incinerated in the tailpipe.

The PICC system turns this idea on its head. Instead of breaking down the gas after it exits the engine, PICC posits you break it down before it enters the engine. Gas burns better in vapor form, and if the components are broken down further, theoretically, you will need less fuel. Less fuel used, more fuel savings realized.

The best part is these two technologies can be used side by side, and together promises to end America’s dependence on foreign oil, plus keep more money in your pocket.

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

Whether you believe it or not, you can use water to weld metals, cut through steel, and even use water to fuel your internal combustion engine.

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.

California inventor and Professor Yul Brown has developed a system (and has since patented it) that will convert plain tap water to a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, another state of water besides ice, water, or steam, and he has aptly called it as Brown’s Gas.

Brown’s gas’ explosive (actually implosive) nature can be used for many things, not the least of which is welding metals together. It can be used for desalinating any water into pure drinking water, to create a vacuum to pump water up from the ground, to 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 significant byproduct of the discovery of Brown’s gas is its potential impact in the auto industry. It has the potential to truly revolutionize internal combustion to provide great fuel efficiency and gas mileage.

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 water in the HAFC enriches the gasoline fuel mixture. Enriched fuel gives the same if not greater amount of burn with less fuel thus improving you vehicles gas mileage.

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.
