Water Powered Cars - Some Of The Common Myths About Them
by Dave Latimer
We live in a world where the oil wells are drying up with a finality that indicates that we need to find alternate sources of fuel. Most of the cars running on the roads use gasoline to derive power. The gasoline prices are however increasing constantly. Therefore, the car companies are constantly searching for alternative sources to make the vehicles less dependent on gasoline.
Recently the market has seen an increase in the number of vehicles running on alternative fuels that have been released by the auto giants.

Most people remain in doubt about the nascent technology of running the car on water. The technology has been received with much skepticism among the automobile enthusiasts. So here is a list of few myths regarding this technology along with what it is in fact.

1. Water powered engines will damage the car: The fact remains that a car's engine is more damaged by unburned fuel than anything else. The most important factor that one must keep in mind is that water is actually beneficial for the engine. This technology not only cleans up the carbon deposit caused by unburned gasoline but actively cleans out the engine every time you drive your car. This flushing of your engine with water helps it perform smoother and better. With the help of this technology, the engine will steam-clean itself regularly.

2. The engine becomes noisier: This rumor is completely baseless. The water powered device, after being installed into the engine, makes the engine perform better. The noise made by the engine is reduced substantially. The engine also stops "knocking" and "pinging". Right from the moment the device is installed, the effect is not only reduction in noise, but lesser vibration, smoother transmission, cleaner pistons and valves.

3. Water heats up the engine: The fact remains that the water actually cools down the engine. For many years, truck owners have known how water helps in reducing the number of engine break downs. It also reduces the cost of repair to a greater degree. With the help of the water powered systems, now you can take advantage of the cooling effect of the water, which will cost you a fraction of the expensive water injecting systems.

4. Such system reduces the pick up of the vehicle: The water driven system actually widens the range of torque of the vehicle, thereby enabling the vehicle to accelerate. This has resulted in better engine efficiency, thereby making water driven cars the choice of most people eager to make their cars greener.

5. The change is irreversible: Unlike most other variations made to the car, this technology is entirely unobtrusive, which means that the car's original configuration is not changed due to the installation of this system. If somehow you are not satisfied with the operation of this machine, you can certainly remove the device so that your car will be back to its original performance.

The installation of this system does not require the owner to alter the engine and computer of the car in any way so it is completely safe.
