Benefits Of A Water Fuel Cell

August 6, 2009

Did Stan Meyer have a gold mine when he first came up with the concept of water fuel cells being used in cars? Most people would tell you no, it’s not a possible situation, it isn’t scientifically possible. But he did drive around in a vehicle which was said to contain the water fuel cell in it. So what is the true story, and will we ever really know?

He made a device in which he used water as his only means of fuel was water. This cell would split up the water into hydrogen and oxygen. When the hydrogen would burn it would create energy which would have the vehicle moving along.

Wow now if your car could really run on water and the Earth is made up of 70% water? Yes the implications there are humongous. In fact many feel that Meyer was removed from this world in order for the oil companies to survive. After all with such a huge supply of water, and oil being so expensive? Well you can get the main idea behind that point very easily.

To me it seems that the cost of gas and how much you would save wouldn’t matter how you go there, fuel cell or electrolysis. Meyer would be sued by two companies who bought his water fuel cell technology in Ohio and would be charged to pay back those two investors. Not because the water fuel cell didn’t work, but because they said it was using the basics of electrolysis to run.

It seems that Meyer was well onto a way that would save millions, no make that billions of people money. Could it be that it wasn’t really an accident that his death occurred at such an early age? According to many experts this is the case, they feel that what Meyer had created would run the oil companies out of business.

Should life be more about making the world a better place to live in? In fact if you were to change over every vehicle that operated on gas to a water fuel cell, would we have any more wars? Think about it, war is fought over oil or some other thing in most cases, if we don’t need oil, what will there be to fight about?

Finally, no matter what side of the fence you stand on, it should be noticed that Meyer did drive a vehicle around using his water fuel cell. So obviously it worked, even if it was a rip off of the electrolysis theory why don’t we look into it even more. What is more important saving money on those high costs of gasoline, or whether the water fuel cell was what it was said to be?

The Ways That 4×4 Insurance Varies From Standard Car Insurance

August 6, 2009

4×4s are subject to special rates and different kinds of insurance that other cars don?t usually have. If you have a 4×4 you are probably already aware of these differences. The extra features of a 4×4 make it capable of more, and therefore need extra insurance to handle the extra hazards they may encounter. Purchasers of this type of insurance should worry about getting the right type of policy to cover all of their specific needs.

The type of policy you have will affect what type of coverage you?re getting. All types of policies will cover other drivers and their vehicles in an accident. You can also get policies that cover your vehicle and your passengers along with theft and weather damage. 4×4 insurance has similar properties as regular car insurance however there are some slight differences. The main problem is that you?re going to do more damage to another vehicle if you hit them than you would in a car. Since the estimated repair costs will be higher they increase the insurance premium you have to pay.

Another huge factor is that 4×4 vehicles are targeted for vandalism and theft more. This is especially true if you live in the city versus in the country. Since the insurance company has the city as a higher risk zone for theft you will pay more in insurance. It?s best to live in a rural area where your high profile vehicle won?t be as likely to be targeted.

Costs to fix 4×4 trucks and SUVs are much higher than the cost to fix regular vehicles. This is because parts are harder to find and repair. Insurance companies will look at this as an extra cost to insure your vehicle and will charge you more. If you have extra features added to your 4×4 that didn?t come with the stock you will have to get extra insurance to have these repaired in case of an accident. Insurance companies won?t voluntarily pay for these extra add-ons unless your policy specifically covers them.

Off road driving is the biggest difference between 4×4 and regular car insurance. This option lets you take your vehicle off of the road and through other terrains. If you damage your vehicle, which is fairly likely, the damages will only be covered if you have a specific policy with off-road insurance. A standard policy will become void for the time you drive off road, leaving you to pay the damages yourself. Prices will increase if you regularly participate in races or other all-terrain sports with your 4×4. Some people choose to get insurance for these events just for one day to reduce costs.

It?s important to know that as with sports cars 4×4 vehicles will be more expensive naturally when it comes to insurance. The best thing you can do is to compare quotes from various companies and find the lowest rate. You can also greatly reduce the rate of your vehicle by having it just for a recreational vehicle. You will also want to read through the policies that each company offers. This is because some companies will cover some situations while others won?t. If you plan on doing something besides driving your 4×4 vehicle you should ask your insurance agent what they can cover.

Some Things You Should Know about GPS

August 6, 2009

The GPS unit sitting on your dashboard owes its existence to the need for the United States military to be able to navigate the surface of the Earth with ease. In the 1970’s and 1980’s, the United States launched satellites into the Earth’s atmosphere into geo-synchronous orbit. These satellites made it possible for the military to maneuver on land and sea with ease.

The satellites send a signal to the GPS receivers on the surface of the Earth and then from there, the location is pinpointed. The system was then commercialized in the 1990s and it has literally taken off.

The most used GPS system is the Car GPS device. This is a fantastic device that will calculate the route from wherever your present position is, to the desired end point. All you will need to know is the address, or place name if it is a stadium or other point of interest. After this information is loaded into the device, it will perform course calculations and graphically display directions to your destination. If you need to deviate from the planned course, for a rest stop or restaurant, the GPS device will quickly recalculate the new coordinates and map out a revised route. Another nice option on some of the newer models is the ability to hear voice commands. The voice feature allows drivers to remain focused on the road in order to minimize accidents.

The beauty of GPS tracking systems is that they can pinpoint the location of the GPS receiver anywhere in the world. GPS devices are now small enough to be inserted into articles of clothing and other items. For example, it is not uncommon to see GPS equipped cellphones, watches, shoes.

Because GPS has become smaller and the receivers and satellites are in constant contact, GPS tracking services have sprung up in recent years. These services give parents peace of mind by allowing them to know where their child is at all times. All the parent needs to do is place the GPS on the child and then monitor their child’s whereabouts on the service’s website.

Cheap GPS units mean only one thing – the adoption of their use by a large swath of the population. These inexpensive units mean that pretty much every car on the road has them on the dashboard so that the driver doesn’t get lost or waste money on gasoline spent going the wrong way.

You can purchase a GPS unit in one of two ways. You can buy a unit for your dashboard and remove it each time you leave the vehicle alone. Or you can get the GPS unit installed into your dashboard as an option when you purchase the vehicle. Either way, you should search online for the right GPS unit for you.
