Produce your own electricity from your own water? It may sound crazy but it is true. A new water energy system (WES) has been developed to produce electricity with no fossil fuel or non-fossil energy; instead, a glass of water will do.

This great invention prevents global warming because no greenhouse gases are emitted and it is safe due to the source of the energy for the system, water. As we all know water is safe and non-volatile. And just think of the savings when you say bye-bye to the electric company.

You're probably wondering if tap water can be used as the water supply for this cool contraption? Yes, 'Basically, any water can be used for power generation. We use pure water, however, to prevent rusting and clogging of mechanical parts.' is the answer you'll find in the company's website.

Which company is this you ask?

, from Japan. , uses its own water energy system to charge, for example, the battery for the electric car.

But what about water as gas for your car? It's certainly great to be able to use your tap water to create your own electricity but if your car could run on water then, well, now we are talking.

The idea of a car running on water is far-fetched and a short browse on the web about the subject can easily overwhelm you with frustration. A great place to start is with Mike Allen and his article in .

He distills the process down to basics so that we can all understand how it works and then he goes on to test a hand-built HHO kit to see what the fuel savings would be. Well, the answer may surprise you.

But before you go out and buy a kit to convert your car to run on water have a look at Daniel Dingel's because he's not trying to sell you anything. He just wants to show you (there are videos) that he has 'designed a process that efficiently maximizes on-demand hydrogen extraction from the electrolysis of ordinarily-available water.' What does that mean? That he runs his car on water using a system he invented many years ago.

His car does not burn water but instead 'burns the hydrogen gas directly in the engine's combustion chamber. The extraction process being on-demand, Dingel's car does not store hydrogen gas onboard in quantities that pose an explosion risk.' Information that's good to know.

So if can create electricity from water and Daniel Dingel's runs on water then the idea of our cars running on water is not so far-fetched after all.

Demand for water-powered vehicles will increase and there are plenty of companies out there working on ensuring there will a supply to meet it. But why wait when you can modify your car today. Who else wants to continue to pay high-gasoline prices?

A look at water-gas conversion kits on the web finds Ozzie Freedom claiming to have the original 'water4gas' web site where 'you can actually get the real deal with real tech support.' To read all about it go to .
