In the world generally change is in the air and people are reacting to it. These changes include a shortage of drinking water, environmental damage, climate change and various other problems.
Perhaps one of the most immediate problems is the fuel crisis. The world has suddenly awakened to the fact that the era of cheap oil has ended. Sales of gas gurgling cars are at an all time low.
As with all change, people have reacted. High fuel costs and the prospect of no fuel have propelled car owners and makers into a new way of thinking.
People have recognized that a radical shift is needed and thus we enter the world of the hydrogen car kit enthusiasts.
With cheap components, handy guides, and a great deal of enthusiasm they are doing what the car manufacturers have always considered impossible. They are reaching mileages which car factories can not fathom let alone reproduce.
At the centre of these grass roots movements lays an old but forgotten innovation. Basically these people are splitting water and use the resultant hydrogen-oxygen gas (HHO gas or brown gas) as a super fuel additive.
There are no clear figures of how many people have already changed their lives using this technique but if you count the bumper stickers these enthusiasts usually sport on their working cars you will realize it's a lot.
This is a revolution in the history of the car. But the ironic thing is that this technology is as old as the car itself. The principle was invented sometime before World War 11 but nobody took it seriously.
In our very expensive fuel world what was once a curiosity is now a very attractive proposition.
There are many other innovations going on in the world right now and who knows what other changes the future will bring
