New Water4Gas Experimenter - you're most
WELCOME to this fine group of people, who have all chosen to DISAGREE
with the current conditions and prices of energy - and are doing
something about it! I owe the success of this fresh and exciting operation to several people:
Couldn't have done it without your continuing support, guys! Thanks!!!
Water4Gas welcomes you to our VIP Zone. Here, you are the VIP. So Relax and enjoy yourself! Explore the contents and contacts - and we trust you to put them to good use! Feel free to comment on any part of this, like:
We want to inspire you to be free-minded and proud of yourself. We want you to be the VIP in your own world, too. RESPECT YOURSELF! THINK FOR YOURSELF!

Seems like the races have started!!! ...And the first one to
finish his homework is a billionaire!!! Hydrogen On Demand is hitting
major headlines, TV stations and major radio shows:
There is a reason why you haven't heard much news from us for a while. Water4Gas has advanced so much since mid 2006 when I joined forces with our "chief scientist" Mr.Bill Lang and started this worldwide movement. I had so many frustrations regarding the results of Water4Gas technology in my own car. It just wouldn't yield to the technology, and our main goal - gas savings - was not looking good. I couldn't sleep. How can I sell the idea to others if I don't get results at home? I looked all over the place for clues, and eventually chose to go with the SYSTEM approach. I got the idea from Dennis Lee and another gentleman on Google Videos. The idea is simple: several parts contribute to the whole, and drive us bit by bit toward the goal of Doubling Our Mileage. It seems to be working, and by experimenting I started finding that some parts of the "system" appeared more powerful than others. The electronics part was a bit tricky, but I managed to keep it surprisingly simple. I mean, SIMPLE. (For most cars) lower cost and greater simplicity than what I had suspected a few months ago. The rest is even simpler. I refused to adopt nearly every idea if it couldn't yield to this test: can it be built by a tree-shade mechanic with only basic skills and a pair of pliers, using low-cost hardware? I rejected many "patents" and other complications, yet the "system" grew steadily.
In August 2007 the system has finally matured, and I found a formula that made my car go 62.5 MPG. Not the end of the road, but definitely more than double factory mileage. Despite the lousy gasoline they sell here in Los Angeles!!! The formula has three major parts:
There are two books now, totaling 320 pages and growing. The
first book, the User Manual, has been expanded
to include replication, installation and maintenance of the new system
shown above. The second book (the one I mentioned in the previous
paragraph) has all the methods concerning how to SAVE GAS with this new
system. The technology is still developing so I cannot call it
perfect. It will never be perfect, not until we have
a 100% water car. But it is mature. And capable of doubling your
mileage with some fine-tuning. Thanks to all you guys who have stuck me all this time and
allowed me to break the code. You have not only
gained the knowledge yourself but has also helped all those who will
come next.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND
PARTICIPATION!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A LEGAL ADVICE! Consult your lawyer before acting upon any of the information given here! According to the Report of the House of Representatives which accompanied the law, the Magnuson-Moss act was enacted by Congress in response to the widespread misuse by merchants of express warranties and disclaimers. The legislative history indicates that the purpose of the Act is to make warranties on consumer products more readily understood and enforceable and to provide the Federal Trade Commission with means to better protect consumers. The statute is remedial in nature and is intended to protect consumers from deceptive warranty practices. Consumer products are not required to have warranties, but if one is given, it must comply with the Magnuson-Moss Act. Want to know more? Below are some useful references:

Zero Point Energy (ZPE): Is the energy in a
system when the temperature is reduced to absolute zero (0 Kelvin -2730
Celsius).
In physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy that a
quantum
mechanical physical system may possess and is the energy of the ground
state of
the system. The concept of zero-point energy was proposed by Albert
Einstein
and Otto Stern in 1913, which they originally called "residual
energy" or Nullpunktsenergie. All quantum mechanical systems have a
zero
point energy. The term arises commonly in reference to the ground state
of the
quantum harmonic oscillator and its null oscillations. In quantum field
theory,
it is a synonym for the vacuum energy, an amount of energy associated
with the
vacuum of empty space. In cosmology, the vacuum energy is taken to be
the
origin of the cosmological constant. Experimentally, the zero-point
energy of
the vacuum leads directly to the Casimir effect, and is directly
observable in
nanoscale devices.
Because zero point energy is the lowest possible energy a system can
have, this
energy cannot be removed from the system.
Despite the definition, the concept of zero-point energy, and the hint
of a
possibility of extracting "free energy" from the vacuum, has
attracted the attention of amateur inventors. Numerous perpetual motion
and
other pseudoscientific devices, often called free energy devices,
exploiting
the idea, have been proposed. As a result of this activity, and its
intriguing
theoretical explanation, it has taken on a life of its own in popular
culture,
appearing in science fiction books, games and movies.
