How To Build And Install A Hydrogen Generator To Power Your Car On Water

A while back I decided to build a hydrogen generator to help save money on my fuel bill. My ex-husband had built one and installed it on his car and was saving a ton of money. His fuel mileage had doubled!

So I asked him how he did it and he said he had ordered a set of plans on line that taught him how to build a hydrogen generator that allowed him to run his car on water. Actually, the water supplements the fuel he already has in the tank but allows that fuel to burn more efficiently. He said there were two models available but I should choose the one easier to build and that although it was not quite s efficient, it would still cut my gas bill by at least 25%.

Start A Home Based Business

Starting a home based business is easier than ever before and this article will discuss the reasons why. Personally, I’ve worked from home for more than half my career and I believe I’m remarkably well suited for it. There’s no question some people just can’t do it. They get distracted too easily and end up getting nothing done. But for me, I’m perfectly happy sitting in my office working all day and often don’t even realize the evening has come until I see that my computer screen is the only source of light in the house.

Is Car Warranty Worth The Money?

Car warranty policies can take the stress out of car ownership, but are they always worth the money? Our investigations suggest that not all policies are equal.

The idea behind a car warranty is fairly simple - you receive cover on the cost of any repairs that are required on your car during the term of the policy.

Many car owners opt to take out such a policy, believing that warranties offer security, minimising the risk of having to spend more on keeping a car on the road.

Trademark: Do I Need One For My Business Name And Logo?

Wondering if a trademark is important to you as a business owner? Let’s start with the basics. A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or logo that distinguishes and identifies the source of goods of one company or person from another. For example, the name Kraft is trademarked, as is Nike’s “swoosh” logo.

The list of what constitutes a trademark is long. A trademark can also be granted to unique packaging such as the shape of Coca-cola’s bottle, building designs, color, sound, and even fragrance. Service marks receive the same legal protection, but are used to distinguish services instead of products.

How To Protect Your Ferrari From Theft

As a Ferrari owner, you know that after you have added this prized vehicle to your investment portfolio, it pays to take care of it properly. Routine Ferrari maintenance, appropriate insurance, careful driving and care all play a part in how well your Ferrari drives into the future.

The Official Ebay Strategy Guide - How To Make Your Auctions Sell For More

Why is it that sometimes the exact same item sales for a lot more than another item on eBay? What is it that sets that item apart? There are some simple tricks to get more action on your eBay auctions and increase your final purchase price. I would call these the “4 to Get More”.

1. First Impression.

Why is it that I go on to eBay to buy a shirt and the first thing I see is a picture of the shirt on some ones bed, floor, table or anything else? Why are so many pictures from far away, with shadows, that barely show what it is I am looking for?
More eBayers will switch to a different item because of a picture that does one of the two things listed above.

Are You Living The Life Of Your Dreams?

Are you living the life that you wanted to happen, five years later? Or are you still in the same situation five years later?

In the olden days, the people who had the most resources controlled the wealth and to some degree, the power to influence a nation as well. You would have to be born into royalty or a wealthy family just to get the kind of life that many desire. Only few were able to get that far.

However, as the ages went on, so did the opportunities. With the opportunities also came more skepticism. Living in a post 9-11 world, people are living in fear more than any other time in our history.

Protection From Auto Repair Rip-offs

The problems with asking for the old parts back from your auto repair are many. Number one what you are really saying is I don’t trust you, right to your shops face. Another problem is if you ask for the old parts back from lets say a tune up you may get six old spark plugs and a smelly fuel soaked fuel filter. You do not want to carry around a wet fuel filter, and when it comes to the old spark plugs they could be out of anybody’s vehicle. Some times the part numbers on the old spark plugs is hard to read on very old plugs. If you can read the part number you can call a parts store to verify the spark plug part number belongs in your vehicle. When you are talking about getting the old parts back when the auto repair is brake job, trust me you do not want the old brake pads back. They are in most cases unidentifiable and very dirty and dusty. Plus there is no readable part Number to verify if they are off of your vehicle. So again they could be from someone else’s car repair.

Dirt Cheap Cars - Where To Find Good Quality Dirt Cheap Cars

The best place to buy dirt cheap cars is not through the classified ads, not through the Internet, not through a private seller, and not through a used car dealership. The single best place to buy good quality dirt cheap cars is at seized car auctions.

Seized car auctions are where cars end up when their owners are imprisoned, when the government needs to dispose of a deceased person’s estate, when cars are confiscated to satisfy a debt obligation, or when owners simply do not make their car payments.

My Hovercraft Plan

For some reason I have always been fascinated with hovercraft. I think the idea of hovering over almost any surface is really cool. I came up with a plan to build my own hovercraft.

I built my first hovercraft from a basic set of plans I found at the local library. It consisted of a platform made of plywood with a shop vac attached to it for power. You sit on it and when someone pushes you it glides across the floor like an air hockey puck.

Now while this was great fun it was not what I was looking for. I wanted to build something a little more serious.
