There''s a new craze in cyberspace, where a lot of people are showing
off their ingenuity of turning simple tap water into some sort of a
re-invented fuel. That''s good, sign of the times.As in this age
of global warming and climate change, the continued use of fossil
fuel into its derivatives- causing pollution and it''s potential depletion
may have brought about this Earth''s chemical and electro-magnetic
imbalance.So, it might pay for us to encourage the use of water
for fuel, and considering that it may face stiff oppositions from oil
magnates and oil-revenue hungry government, maybe we should start
adapting to it within ourselves.Anyway, no one can claim he
invented water for fuel, because it is natural and universal science.
Actually, the process of turning water into molecules of oxygen and
hydrogen by passing it thru an electrical current and then channeling
the explosive
gas of hydrogen aided by oxygen gas into fuels for
combustion, has long been proven.Water to gas fuel is today''s
innovation, as it was the English Chemist, MICHAEL FARADAY, who first
investigated it as ELECTROLYSIS. Where, after many careful experiments,
he stated the following three "laws":1) The ability of an electric current to cause electrolysis does not depend on the distance between electrodes.2) The quantity of a substance that is electrolyzed is also proportional to the quantity of electricity used.3)
The quantity of a substance that is electrolyzed is also proportional
to the substance''s chemical equivalent. The chemical equivalent of a
metal is it''s atomic weight (in grams) by it''s valence.Faraday
found out that approximately 96,500 coulombs of electricity are
required to electrolyzed one chemical equivalent of any metal.The
number of coulombs that flow in each second is measured in Amperes. And
Voltage is like an electrical pressure that pushes the coulombs through
the circuit. In electrolysis, voltage is just as important as amperage.A
certain minimum voltage is needed to produce electrolyisis in any given
time. For example, a minimum of 1.23 volts is needed to electolyze
water to hydrogen and oxygen at 25 degree centigrade.So, just
from here anybody can expand and upgrade their own "water to gas for
fuel" experiments and have their own portable water fuel station. Then
who can beat that, we have to save this planet, you know.Engr. June A. Yasolhttp://www.juneayasol.bizFacts on Michael Faraday:Condensed from Mark S. Wrighton, Ph.D Ceiba-Geigy Prof. of Chemistry, MIT, World Book
