Economical Cars - Honda Fuel Cell Vs. Hydrogen Conversion

Economical cars are the rage today as gas prices climb to record levels.  The Honda fuel cell vehicle - the FCX Clarity is making a big impact in California.  The California hydrogen highway is a series of hydrogen refueling stations in California for fuel cell vehicles - this state is leading the way.  But did you know there is a hydrogen conversion kit you can install yourself this weekend to improve gas mileage in your current car, truck or suv?

The Honda fuel cell car, the Honda FCX Clarity, is one of the most economical cars and eco-friendly vehicles on the road in America today.  In fact it is among the best gas mileage cars ever, getting an estimated fuel economy of 77 city and 67 highway. 

Only trouble is the lack of infrastructure.  Hydrogen gas stations are not so common, so you really have to watch your fuel guage.  The Honda fuel cell vehicle has quite limited availability - in fact, Jamie Lee Curtis was the second customer for the FCX Clarity, when she took delivery the end of July this year.  And unfortunately at this point, it looks like the Honda fuel cell cars won't be mass produced until 2018!

Economical cars are not only being sold today - they are being born - by gas guzzling car, truck and suv owners in the form of hydrogen conversions.  Also known as hydrogen generators, these alternative fuel conversion kits allow your vehicle to get better fuel economy and boost fuel mileage by using a hydrogen cell and the electrolysis of water.

While the Honda fuel cell needs pure hydrogen gas stored onboard in high-pressure tanks, a diy hydrogen conversion produces hydrogen-on-demand in a small container under your hood.  To build your own economical cars (using hydrogen to supplement gasoline) you only need a few household items you can find at your local hardware store.  You can get the diy auto conversion kit plans online and complete the job this weekend for under $200.

This device that fits under your hood is based on an old technology using the current from your battery to charge the water and release the hydrogen atoms.  Although hydrogen generators were invented decades ago, they weren't very well known until the 1990’s when they started being used in Hummers for the U.S. military.

So what are you waiting for - gas prices to go down?
