[E164]Electric Car Water Pump
by Jay Stevens, Jay
One of the essential parts of your vehicle is the water pump. So now you may be thinking that this could not be true for there is no water pump in your car. Well, the truth is that there is a water pump and it is that part that pumps the coolant throughout the entire cooling system. So it is said that if you do not have a good working water pump in your car, you might as well say goodbye to having a cool and comfortable drive.

This water pump usually works with a belt. If your car's engine is not running, do not expect to have the water pump working. That is why it is necessary for you to turn on the engine of your car if you want to use the cooling system.

You should go check if your water pump is still in good condition. If it is already worked up, you do have to replace it as soon as possible or otherwise, you may be driving without air conditioner. And yes, a worked up water pump may even lead to further serious damages to your car if you do not replace it soon.

To check, you should first open the hood of your car. Make sure that your engine is off when you do this. Then, try to locate first where the water pump pulley is. It is round and it is also where the belt is attached to. You can ask for assistance from experts if you are unsure about this one.

When you have located it, take the opposite ends of the pulley and see if they are loose. You could rock it back and forth to see if they are okay. However, if you notice that it gives or if it is loose, then it is time to replace the water pump.

Many people have a feeling that there is something wrong in the area of energy and fuel. They believe there must be answers to the hight cost of Oil and fuel efficiency in cars in general. They feel that they are just being used as Cash Cows by the Government and big business. Guess what? They are right!

Right now the Oil price has been sky-rocketing for a while. This has been blamed on increased demand from China and India as well as a phenomena called Peak Oil (it is claimed that on a planetary scale we have now passed the point where most of the oil available to us has already been pumped out of the ground). Lacking refinery capacity has also been blamed. But few if any refineries have been built lately. Then we have the Green Movement, who might have been high-jacked as an excuse to increase fuel prices. It is now a sin to drive your car or use non-renewable energy. But where are the calls for alternatives? Where are the rewards for inventors?

It is like saying that ?You should not eat, grains, rice, maize or beans (the kind of foods that provides the bulk of food for most of the worlds population) so therefor we will drastically increase the price of these foods ? for your own good.? But at the same time provide no alternatives that can take the place of these foods.

There is a way of running your car for a lot less, by fitting a ?Hydrogen on Demand? system to your car. This is a gadget called an electrolyzer and it splits water into Hydrogen and Oxygen gas. This gas is then tubed into the engine where it acts as a catalyst that makes your normal fuel burn more effectively, more cleanly and as a result produces more power with less pollution and it even cleans your engine of deposits, making it run smoother.

Manuals are now available on how to make such a system yourself, and a few places have started to make and sell the components of this system. The idea is to form a grass-root movement, that flies below the radar of big business. The aim is to get enough people all over the world to make these changes to their cars, so that this technology no longer can be ignored by the powers that be. Savings on fuel ranges from 30 ? 50% on average.

There are two main systems being promoted. One is much simpler and basic when in comes to Hydrogen Production, but complements this with a number of other fuel saving devices and tips. This is less demanding to make and maintain, and is recommended for the person who is not that skilled in Electronics and Mechanics. It also has a handy little device for manipulating the car computer (which, believe it or not, has as part of it's function to nullify additional fuel saving devices added by owners). This system also have more support in the form of providers of the gadgets needed and places that will fit them.

The second one is producing more hydrogen, but lacks all the other devices. But first and foremost requires much more competence from the builder of the system, both mechanically and electronically. It uses a pulse system to split water ? getting more Hydrogen & Oxygen gas for your electricity. The web site promoting it also lacks testimonials from users, which tend to indicate that not many customers actually end up having made and fitted this in their cars.

The main reason people convert their cars to this system is the fuel savings. But lowered emissions and a sense of being pioneers, are also among the reasons for this. And lets not forget that it feels good to do something back to those that have just been using us!

This method of supplementing your standard fuel with HHO Gas (two Hydrogen atoms, one Oxygen - ?H2O?) can of course also be used just as well in Trucks, Tractors, Generators, Boats, etc. Any Internal Combustion engine should benefit from a device like this.

Imagine also how much more interesting your car would be with a device in it that makes Hydrogen on Demand as a fuel saving method. As well as a method of cleaning the exhausts that is just as good, if not better than the catalytic converter. For cars without a catalytic converter this would be a real bonus. Same goes for old Trucks and Buses who might not pass new stringent emission guidelines for some cities.

This could well be a good little business ? providing and fitting Hydrogen on Demand systems in commercial fleets. I know here in the UK many truckers are seriously worried about staying competitive with the recent fuel cost increases.

This is well worth looking into further. Maybe we can't do much about the cost of Oil going up, but we can do something to get more out of the oil we do buy!

Imagine if you could drive twice as far on one tank.
