It is no longer feasible to rely on the gasoline engine to power our heavy energy consumption. Fuel costs and the world power struggle has made reliance on this fossil fuel a gamble at its best. Demand is also at a high, pushing prices even higher.
Gasoline is a limited resource, and most of our supply comes from foreign sources. The world of politics plays a role in the cost of this high-demand fossil fuel. Gone are the days of gasoline as a cheap source of energy, but what do we have to take its place?
What is the criteria for our energy supply? Any fuel, ideally, must be readily available in mass supply. It should be inexpensive to produce, provide great energy for its volume, and be safe to handle. Is this concept of the ideal fuel a dream, or a forthcoming reality?
Why is water considered to be a viable source of energy? Water is a combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Hydrogen is in itself a powerful energy source, and a reasonable consideration for our energy needs.
When hydrogen is contained in the form of water it is safe and easy to store. You will not start a fire with water, and water does not readily explode or pollute. The next step is to take the hydrogen from the water, and that is done through electrolysis. The only question remaining is how to derive enough energy from the electrolysis process to make conversion of our gas powered engines feasible.
When we talk about fuel we commonly think of the energy output and our demands on energy to move us about and keep our economy turning. Behind the obvious energy needs we can look at water powered engines as a means to protect the environment and reduce pollution, making the water powered engine the wave of the future.
What are the benefits of a water powered engine? First is the fuel efficiency. Cleaner exhaust is another great feature of a water-powered fuel. Water is readily available in most areas, and we may be able to design an engine that reduces the costs of operation, thereby reducing fuel costs. We can reduce our use of gasoline by combining hydrogen fuel in the burning process, thereby increasing the output of energy per gallon of the old fossil fuels.
The time has come for the U.S. to take the hint and change from the dependency on foreign energy sources, and move back to the innovative, inspirational nation it used to be.
