Nissan’s new electric car will be coming with an information module to help drivers find plug in stations for when the batteries are getting low. The good news: It looks really nice for an electric, the bad news: it only has a range of 100 miles, not exactly a breakthrough.

Though all electrics are once again being touted as the save all mode of transportation- I don’t believe the science is yet there to support that. A hundred miles is not very far here in the Bay Area, where its 50-60 miles to the city, and there are not charging stations all over the place yet.

I still think water hybrids are the best solution for the money. You keep your existing car, invest $500-$800 for a kit and can see an instant payback of 20%-40% increase in mileage while dropping your emissions.

And you don’t have to wait another 10-20 years for the other technologies to catch up. here’s the article…

Nissan’s Leaf: Charged with Information

NIssans new electric Leaf

The all-electric car will tell drivers where to recharge.When the all-electric Nissan Leaf hits the U.S. market next year, consumers will have to consider its relatively short 100-mile driving range, as well as the scarcity of charging stations beyond their own homes. Nissan plans to tackle these concerns by providing information–and lots of it–to help drivers manage the recharging process. read more…

More proof that the HHO Generator industry is starting to penetrate into the mainstream. These are units are OK, but quite large and difficult to find space for. Check out this article in Gizmag…

If you need a practical hydrogen generator or complete HHO kit, check out these new Hybrid Cells from Transitional Technologies, LLC. The smallest one is only 2.5″ thick and yet puts out a hefty 2.5-3.0 liters of HHO gas per minute- that’s really good if you want an increase in mileage with your small car and have no room for a big generator…

Slim and compact hydrogen generator

Yesterday a recent customer (Andy) wrote in to report that he has the new HYBRID cell hydrogen generator 77 series installed already into his ‘92 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 liter engine and 150,000 miles on it. He was ecstatic at bumping his mileage from its original 17 mpg to it’s all new 23.8 mpg- a full 40% increase! This is fantastic- way to go Andy, keep up the good work!

hydrogen generator hho kit increases gas mileage!

Great news as one of our new HYBRID cell hydrogen generators gets installed in a 92′ Ford truck! He just posted…(non solicited testimony!)

andy says:

1992 ford explore 4.0L engine with OVER 150,000 PLUS MILES. 17 MILES BEFORE AND 23.8 AFTER UNIT INSTALLED THANKS.

That’s a great improvement for a big engine Andy- Great job!

We are expecting great news to start pouring in as people start getting their generators from our first run! These cutting edge, patent pending hydrogen generators are taking the industry by storm because they are compact, ultra efficient, much safer than DRY CELLS, and better than wet cells.

New HYBRID cell hho generator

There is a new player in town, and when it comes to HHO Generators and kits, they mean business! Their new HHO Hybrid Cell design is neither the old style “wet cell” or the newer “dry cell”, but a unique combination of both- combining the positive characteristics of both and eliminating the weak points.

Wet cells are immersed completely in the electrolyte which allows good convection flow and keeps the plates saturated, but they require an airspace generally and have bad current leakage on the edges, reducing efficiency. Dry cells have all but eliminated the worst (but not all) current leakage, but have bad fluid dynamics resulting in partially saturated cells, foaming problems, and burnt plates. Not to mention the horrible risk of exposed electrified plates carrying 20-30 amps, and hydrogen gas right next to your engine. If you drop anything on those plates or they get snow/salt (which becomes a conductor) on them you will see sparks and arc welding! Not a good combo with Hydrogen gas!

The new HYBRID cells eliminate ALL those risks- fully self contained, insulated from the elements, perfect combo of fluid dynamics, minimal current leakage and potent producers of HHO gas, putting out more HHO than more expensive models costing thousands of dollars.

This is a recent article from hybridcars.com that points out the newest trend in hybrids- upgrading to an electric charging ability with battery banks which is quite costly. That must be why manufacturers are doing it…

I’m not sure how I feel on this one- in some ways it makes sense because of the short driving distance many drivers actually travel for most of their commutes, which is where the electric portion comes in. However, if you only have a budget for one car, it creates a problem for you for the long hauls and mini vacations.

I still think everyone would be far better off with a water hybrid conversion like the kind sold at hhokitsdirect for under $800 you can totally convert your regular vehicle to use water to increase your mileage. And very few things can give you a 20%-40% increase for that small amount of investment…

If you want to make your own on-demand hydrogen generator, you can do that by getting the best well written book on the internet today on this subject.

Hussain al-Shahristani also identified the country’s political tensions, bureaucracy and lack of funds as main impediments to developing Iraq’s hydrocarbon resources.

OPEC cuts have so far failed to stop the dramatic fall in oil prices since July. The drop has hit Iraq particularly hard. The country depends on oil revenues for nearly 95% of its budget. As a result, the government was forced to slash its 2009 draft budget from $80 billion to $64 billion.

“The year 2009 will be a tough year around the world and that will be reflected on the oil demand and then prices will drop,” al-Shahristani told a symposium in Baghdad on developing Iraq’s oil and gas industry.

“In March, OPEC will convene and there will be an intention for more production cuts to shore up prices and encourage production from non-OPEC members,” al-Shahristani added.

“We do believe that the price should be no less than $70 for a barrel.”

Just a quick post- I read an article this morning confirming whatI was taking about yesterday concerning gas prices. The article also talks about how some of the US based refiners are now “Voluntarily” reducing refining capacity. What a bunch of freakin’ crooks! So at a time when unemployment is soaring and people are trying to pinch pennies to survive, and companies across the country are dropping prices to survive, the bums in the oil business decide they want more profits, and couldn’t give a d### about the American consumer.

Have you had enough yet? Fight back against these SOB’s who don’t care and will never care whether you can afford to live or not… convert your car to a water hybrid and use a hydrogen generator to increase your mileage before they get back in full swing with their greed…

Here’s the article from the San Francisco Chronicle…

Gasoline prices nationwide have jumped since the turn of the year, with the nationwide average rising 11 cents per gallon since Monday alone. The national average, tracked by the AAA auto club, hit $1.78 for a gallon of regular on Friday. California’s average reached $1.96 and may top $2 this weekend.

In part, it’s the result of a brief rally in the market for crude oil, gasoline’s main ingredient. At the same time, gas refineries have been cutting production in a bid to reduce supplies and shore up prices. And that infuriates some oil industry critics, who say the refiners are trying to squeeze the market.

“Look at the economy - nothing else is going up in price,” said Judy Dugan, research director with the nonprofit Consumer Watchdog. “That’s not the case with fuel, and that’s because there are so few players - especially in California - controlling the production.”

Well, it’s been busy around here, and now that the Holidays are over I thought I’d get back to posting a bit.

I’ve said for months that the artificially low gas prices were a manipulation to psychologically encourage the consumer to feel better about the economy so they would go out and spend money during the Christmas season. Once the buying season was over - they’d go back up, because what was done, was done.

Well up they go! We’ve seen about 20-30 cent per gallon increase in the last 2 weeks and some have reported 40 cents in different parts of the country. So get ready people- theroyal screw is coming back with a vengeance.

In December, our “good friends” the Saudi’s along with the OPEC Cartel, decided that oil was way too cheap so the only thingthey could do to correct it would be to voluntarily reduce production by 2.5 MILLION Barrels a day (the biggest reduction in history). WHY? Was it because we are running out of oil? No. Was it to cut down Global Warming effects? No! It was for ONE reason- to FORCE YOU to pay more money for it- pure and simple Middle East greed. Guess they need more space in their palaces….

There really is only one way you can take back some of the power for yourself- make your car a more fuel efficient vehicle, pure and simple. Personally, I still believe the least expensive way to do that is through water hybrid technology.

It’s the cheapest and easiest modification available. If you want to build your own Hydrogen Generator, you can do it your self for as little as a $100 - $150 depending on size and car; these are the HHO Kits not the expensive pure Hydrogen needing 10,000 psi tanks in your trunk kits.

Inexpensive HHO kits availabe

If you want to just drop a Hydrogen Generator Kit in that’s already assembled (face it- we’re all busy people), you can spend anywhere from under $300 to about $1500 if you need a big system. That’s still WAY under what you would spend for a new Electric Hybrid which can cost $3500 - $6000 MORE thank the same car without one.

Now that we are all facing a nation in dire straits, and the economy continues to tank, don’t you think it would be wise to find any way you can to plan for the future? Payback is fast with this kind of investment - I’d strongly recommend learning everything you can about this incredible technology that could be an answer to your prayers!

If you’re new to the world of HHO Gas, here’s the most complete FREE course on the subject- just sign up and get 7 days of information and teaching by an authority on the subject that has built, tested and researched almost every design available today. Make it your resolve to at least learn something about this technology to determine if it’s right for you. I think you will make the wise choice…

Good Luck!

This is an interview with Obama on his views about the current situation with gas prices. He doesn’t like the fall in gas prices because it puts us back into trance. He may be right on this - it is a pattern I’ve written about before. Let’s hope the progress will continue into the alternative energiy realm, if we stop now, we all lose.

Obama on Gas Prices: From Shock to Trance

Published November 17, 2008

In his first televised interview since winning the election, President-elect Barack Obama spoke with Steve Kroft of CBS’s 60 Minutes about the potential bailout of the American auto industry. He also reminded the American people about the importance of breaking from their addiction to oil—despite the recent and dramatic drop in prices at the pumps.

We must continue to develop and test new designs, better technology. That’s what we’re about. Developing the Transitional Technologies necessary to help us transition from a gas and oil based society into a self sustaining electrical society. On demand Hydrogen generation is just one of those keys. Even if we have the breakthrough of the century with battery and motor technology, with over 300 million cars in the world, it will take time to transition. We can’t just throw them all away into the dump or junk yard- that would be an environmental nightmare.

So, the answer is to develop transitional technologies to bridge the gap. We are hoping to be an active member to assist in this both with our hydrogen generator kits and with making this simple HHO gas generator technology available to the masses.
