that GREEN blog

I know, you are thinking you can’t power your vehicle with water, however it’s absolutely true.

There is a inexpensive way to <b>convert water to hydrogen</b> and use to supplement the gas and make your car 20 to 50% more fuel efficient.
It’s called HHO or <b>Browns Gas</b>.

The relatively simple device uses a little electricity out of your car’s battery, to separate water into a gas called HHO (2 parts Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also called Hydroxy , burns beautifully and provides 3 times the power of gasoline. HHO is a fast growing trend for boosting performance and MPG / KM/L

I am sure you are curious perhaps even suspicious as to why you haven’t heard about this from big business. Reason is actually quite simple. This technology is in the public domain and open source so anyone is free to replicate it and it can’t be patented. Consequently big business can’t profit from this. You will be hearing about this only from the grassroots level, friends, fliers and small businesses that don’t have shareholders. Did you know publicly traded companies have a legal obligation to earn a profit for their shareholders?

There are plans widely available on the net to construct this device. For your convenience I am providing a list of key words so that you can do your own Google search and see for yourself this is indeed real: “browns gas, <b>cars run on water</b>, car that runs on water, <b>easywatercar</b>, HHO, hydroxy fuel cell, improve gas mileage, map sensor enhancer, pcv enhancer, run your car on water”.

Easy to install & maintain. Good for carb/fuel injection,gas/diesel. Old/new cars and trucks big and small.

Widespread development and experimentation by numerous back yard engineers has proven this is feasible. With this method you can run your traditional automobiles partially on water (that’s a “<b>Water Hybrid</b>”) with little or no modifications.
* You should be able to increase your gas efficiency by 20 to 50% or more on some vehicles.
* You can drastically cut down emissions and help reduce Global Warming.
* You can improve efficient burning of fuel and consequently lessen wear and tear, engine clatter, high temperature in the engine, carbon deposits, etc.

You see, you have just hit upon some unique information. (This may not be unique for much longer) You can find people selling kits and doing installations, however they are not in the yellow pages as yet.

It would seem the most complex part of the system is getting it to work with the computer on all cars since 1996. When the oxygen sensor senses more oxygen it automatically sends in more gas lowering your fuel efficiency instead of increasing it. Not to worry though you can purchase or even build your own MAP Sensor which will allow you to adjust the mixture of gas and air.

You can obtain complete informational products or ebooks, packed with guidelines and suggestions. There are discussion groups with 1000’s of members helping each other with any mechanical, electrical or tuning trouble. Please keep in mind people will always have different opinions and you must use your own judgment when listening to what they have to say. If you are offered a conversion kit or installation be certain they are willing to provide you with after sale service, returns warranty etc.

Hello Great Water Loving Green Blog People

May I introduce myself – I am WaterMan, H2O Ambassador. I am more than green, I am turquoise

Anyway… my site http://www.WaterCheck.biz has a simple mission – to transform our human relationship to water – ‘the elixir of life’. Here is what we do:

** We market over 150 of the best water related products.

** We support water sustainability projects.

** We started the first radio show dedicated to H2O – called ‘And So It Flows’ – on 97.7 WBCR-LP FM in Great Barrington, MA, Tuesdays 9AM-10AM ET, streamed live @ http://www.BerkshireRadio.org

I look forward to playing with all of you as we bring water consciousness to peeps all around the world.

As the Ancient Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu said:

“The sage’s transformation of the world arises from solving the problem of water. If water is united, the human heart will be corrected. If water is pure and clean, the heart of the people will readily be unified and desirous of cleanliness. Even when the citizenry¹s heart is changed, their conduct will not be depraved. So the sage’s government does not consist of talking to people and persuading them, family by family. The pivot (of work) is water.”

May your life be blessed with healthy water.

Yours in health & sustainability,

Truly,
Leslie ‘WaterMan’ Gabriel, H2O Ambasador

It’s often said that big things come in small packages; in the case of Play Pumps International, this old adage couldn’t be more right on. Who would have ever guessed that children, young and old, playing on a merry-go-round could bring water to entire communities? Who would have known that the smallest members of society could help usher in such great change?

It’s been 13 years since the first PlayPump® water system was installed in a small community in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. While attending a South African agricultural fair in 1989, Trevor Field first saw the work of a local engineer who had attached a children’s merry-go-round to a water pump; as children spun, water pumped. In response, Trevor and his business partners launched Roundabout Outdoor, an organization that would provide fresh, clean water to communities in need using the merry-go-round/pump system along with a large storage tank and relevant advertising about HIV/AIDS crisis. Although the project started small, by 1997, they had installed 20 pump systems in needy communities across South Africa and had plans for many more.

In 2000, Roundabout Outdoor won the World Bank Development Marketplace Award for its creative solution to the water crisis and effective messaging about HIV/AIDS, gaining significant publicity and support from around the world. The organization, now known as PlayPumps International, is headquartered in South Africa with over 900 PlayPump water systems installed in the last 10 years across South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Zambia.

With 1.1 billion people in the world currently without access to clean, safe drinking water, PlayPumps International exists not only as a necessity, but also as a fun way to address a very serious need. Unsafe water and lack of sanitation is responsible for 80% of disease and illness in the developing world; with a well, communities are able to grow, develop, and thrive. Kathleen Grealish, Director of Partnership Development for PlayPumps International, believes that access to safe water is a crucial piece of community development. “Clean drinking water is arguably the centerpiece of community development and affects the individual members of each community so profoundly,” she says.

As a PlayPumps International team member, Grealish has had the opportunity to visit PlayPumps sites and witness the benefits of the merry-go-round within communities.

“For me, visiting schools that benefit from PlayPump systems is an incredible experience, particularly getting to hear the children singing as they spin. It definitely is a sense of happiness that you take with you. The community members were very appreciative of the PlayPump system and the opportunities it provides. One group of teachers we met decided to use excess water to plant a vegetable garden in the schoolyard, providing a nutritious supplement to their school feeding programs. Seeing how one small act we may make through a donation creates so many opportunities for others to make things better for themselves was uplifting!”

The nature of the PlayPump system is entirely unique in its approach; as the children sit, spin and run around the merry-go-round, the water is pumped from deep within the ground through a series of pipes that run it into a storage basin above ground, and the water is then accessible to community members at the simple turn of a tap. The storage basin allows continual (and sustainable) access to clean water at all times, so that residents are able to live free of the myriad of waterborne diseases and extreme distances they formerly had to walk to gather water. With greater health, community members are able to attend school, work, and participate in other activities that illness kept them from in the past.

As Kathleen Grealish has discovered, water, a seemingly insignificant commodity to us, has the ability to really change lives. “In each community I visited I was struck by how happy the people were. Despite not having all the things that we take for granted on a daily basis, they seem much happier, warmer and more welcoming. It reminded me that the things we strive for in terms of material goods can never bring real happiness.” But as children run around, laughing and singing, they are providing the water that will change the chemistry of the community they live in; they will, in their joy, bring clean water to their families, friends, and neighbors.

It is that profound happiness and life change that keeps PlayPumps Interntional constantly growing and pushing for more pumps, in more communities, in a variety of countries across Africa. “In total, 4,000 PlayPump water systems will bring the benefits of clean drinking water to up to 10 million people in 10 countries by 2010, enabling improvements in health, education, gender equality and economic development.”( from playpumps.org).

What do the human body and the planet earth have in common?

Water.  If the human body has about two-thirds water, our planet has about 70% of it, which establishes the fact that water constitutes a major portion in both body masses.  And that is what’s alarming.  If 70% of the earth’s surface is made up of water, then humankind should have been very wary of anything that would pollute this major portion of the planet.   Alas, the human race has done otherwise.  Water pollution is now a global problem.

Today, water pollution is rampant and the chief source of water pollution is the human race.  We are the very ones that need water most and, yet, we have polluted it, even to the brink of extinction.

There are many types of water pollutants but these can be segregated into four classifications: natural, agricultural, municipal and industrial pollutants.  Natural water pollutants could include all the natural phenomena that happen from time to time such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes that cause major upheavals in the ocean floor and storms that cause flashfloods.  Even global warming could be qualified as a cause of water pollution.

Agricultural pollution consists mainly of poultry and other agricultural animal wastes that are carelessly thrown off to bodies of water near farms.  It could also be the fertilizers or pesticides that are used to make better crops, which erode into lakes, rivers or streams.  Municipal wastes are those that come from residential areas.  This is the liquid waste that households throw into bodies of water.  Industrial pollution consists of all the wastes that major industrial firms chuck into the waters.  This last classification is the most severe and most rampant among the three – and it is also the one that has caused the most damage.  Industrial waste could include contaminants that are hard to take off from the waters once they spread – petroleum from oil spills or nuclear wastes.

The bodies of water in the world are in catastrophic danger, what with all the industries in the world today, plus our individual wastes all put together!  No wonder mankind now drinks from bottles instead of just scooping water from running streams.  The effects of water pollution to humanity is staggering.  But we should also consider all the other life forms that suffer – the fishes and other animals such as birds, and plants.  And what happens when humans eat the very fishes that live in polluted waters?  Do you still want that answered?

But where there is life, there is hope.  There is something that we can do – you can do – to save the only planet that we have.  You could be an advocate, in your own simple way, of retrieving the lost beauty of oceans, lakes, rivers and streams.  Here is a list that might get you to consider in fighting water pollution:

1.    Primarily, you should prevent water pollution.  Just like an illness, it is much simpler to prevent its occurrence rather than to cure.  Begin at your own home.  Make sure that you conserve water.  You can never imagine the water shortages that happen all over the globe.  So if you have a constant supply of water at home, use it wisely.
2.    Plant trees (if circumstance would allow you).  Having more trees or plants in your yard would prevent pollutants from flowing freely into nearby bodies of water.  Since they keep the soil from eroding, water pollution or, at least, the quality of the water is improved.
3.    Do not throw any form of garbage into any body of water.  Sign up for any organization that aims in cleaning up beaches (or lakes, or streams).  Be an active member of such organizations.
4.    Never throw water pollutants down your sink or toilet bowl.  Make sure to dispose wastewater properly.  Think of the many septic tanks that contribute to water pollution.  Now, ‘get the picture?

Luckily, for all of us, there were concerned lawmakers out there that have made legislations on water pollution.  The U.S. alone has several anti-water pollution laws such as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, which was amended in 1988.  These laws prevent further damage to U.S. waters.

Although water pollution is an extensive problem, bridling it is still possible.  And everything begins with each and every individual in each and every home.  And yes, that population includes YOU.
