Welcome to the next generation of driving. We’ve already seen a lot of changes across the board in the industry, with innovative automakers like Toyota and Nissan leading the way in change. Pressures from consumers, government officials and corporations for more focus on how we can reduce our impact on the economy, coupled with a general push away from foreign oil and towards more feasible fossil fuels, have been driving factors in the sudden shift in the auto industry. Thus far, we’ve seen a lot of progress made in the small and subcompact car segments because it’s simply easier to find a way to reduce the emissions on a smaller car.

A constant point of contention in the whole reform is the issue of power. How do you get the power you want in a car if you’re using as little fuel as possible? Manufacturers are beginning to make progress in this area. But the really exciting news here isn’t about the Prius – or any other vehicle making headlines for fuel efficiency. While it might seem surprising, the next big innovation in fuel economy is coming out of your Chicago Mercedes dealer. And it’s no small announcement; we’re talking about the next level of efficiency here.  Read more...

With the current sky high fuel prices, many people are searching for alternative automotive fuel. Some experts have claimed that you can run your car on hydrogen. Is hydrogen car technology a scam? Hydrogen or also known as water car technology utilizes water as a key source of fuel. Top scientists have already discovered that energy can be extracted from water and can be used as alternative fuel for automobiles. It is said that this technology was kept from the public due to political reasons. What exactly is water car technology? This article will share 3 points on the subject.

1. The Wonders of Water
The key component of this technology is water. From elementary science, water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen molecules in a 2:1 ratio. The gas that is needed as an alternative automotive fuel is called Oxyhydrogen and it is made up of HHO. Unfortunately, it exists as a gas at room temperature and its chemical combination is different from that of water. Therefore, when water is broken down, Oxyhydrogen can then be extracted and used as a fuel source. To extract the gas, a special device would have to be installed in automobiles.

2. The Wonders Of Oxyhydrogen
Oxyhydrogen gas can be extracted from water with a simple electrolysis process. This process is already being heavily utilized by industries for melding metal and glass. When oxyhydrogen is used on cars, it has a potential to provide more energy and increase gas mileage when mixed and used with normal gasoline. Unfortunately, running cars on purely water alone is not possible yet. Gasoline is still needed as part of the mixture.  Read more...
