The oil prices keeps jumping. no sign to go down. What Ahmadenejad said would be true and so by Saudi's minister. The market is full of oils, the speculators play the prices. Eventhough Arab Saudi lastly agree to add more barrels per day (about 100 million more barrels) to the market, the oil price did not go down? And keep pace of going up.
Most of the cars depend on petrol and diesel. Oil prices hikes up. so do the petrol prices. It can't resist. There have been attempt by individuals and companies to counter the petrol price such as invention to reduce the fuel consumption. The effective attempt is to introduce hybrid engine. The are natural gas (ngv in malaysia)+ petrol conversion engine. Hirogen+oxygen alog with petrol mixture. Fuel cell (hydrogen cell produce elctric) along with petrol like Honda Civic hybrid or a model of Toyota.
Individual inventors have come up with various invention of producing hydrogen and oxygen extracted from water by using electrolysis technique. The electrolysis is very simple and basic science even high school student can make one. The electrolysis with the car battery and pure water it can produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is combustible and oxygen is very good at supporting combustion. It like the perfect duo. So the mixture of hydrogen, oxygen and petrol into the engine intake should do the perfect combustion, at the meantime reduce the use of petrol and hydrogen itself burn, to make things better, the oxygen helping the combustion producing cleaner exhaust. The positiveeffect to the environment. On the electronic part there should be some twist, to give false record to the ECU so that there is no adding petrol to the engine as it detect more oxygen at the manifold (exhaust part). These information can get easily in the internet.
Small companies are producing these product of fuel comsunption (the hydrogen+oxygen) by eletrolysis process. As the petrol prices going up these fuel comsumption keep pace at rapid rate. Sooner the will be at car company level to introduce hybrid engine to customer to keep loose depend on petrol. There will be various attempt at car company level for hybrid car. And now it keep faster pace. There also be fuel comsumption car, such as smaller car with smaller CC. or sedan car with fuel consumption engine. The hybrid car could not resist to evolve.
Some car companies are spending research for hydrogen cars, with the hydrogen is compressed to the liquid state and stored in the car tank then supply to the engine car. The negative side is the price of producing such system is huge, as to set up hydrogen station. The caontainer and the car will be the time bomb as it keeps highly compressed liquid oxygen. What if accident occur? The safety concern is there, whereas water electrolysis is just hydrogen on demand. The water itself don't burn. it just produce small portion of hydrogen and oxygen on demand and mix with petrol.
Who want to pay more petrol as there are hybrid with fuel comsumption car. Think about it. And eventually car companies will warring on hybrid cars among them. May be there wil be various of hybdrid system.
