Gasoline Saving Tips Using HAFC and PICC
Although we have seen pump prices ease somewhat because of the drop in global crude prices, there is still the global credit and economic crunch weighing on people’s minds. People are now focused on saving money and reducing expenditures, not gong out and spending.
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.
Currently, there are many options available to increase fuel savings and gas mileage. If you are into alternative fuels, you can make your own bio diesel, or even modify your car to use Liquefied Petroleum Gas or (LPG), which 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, better known as HAFC, extracts a hydrogen-oxygen mixture from water called Brown’s Gas, through ionization using the electricity from the engine. The Brown’s Gas is then added to the fuel mixture before it is burned in the engine. The brown’s gas and fuel vapor mixed together creates an energy rich gas that burns far stronger. With this fuel mixture, you can realize savings because you need less fuel because of the increased efficiency.
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.
Some studies have shown that the HAFC system can produce gas savings of a minimum of 50%.
What is PICC System?
The Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter or PICC system is an experimental system that even in its developmental stage promises to up your gas mileage by about at least 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 about these two is that they can be used side by side, and together these technologies promise to revolutionize the automotive industry, not to mention keeping more dollars in your pocket.
