Water, Vinegar, and Gasoline

With relatively few alternatives to the gasoline powered vehicle on the market, smaller companies and individual motorists are creating their own alternatives. Chad Bradshaw of Richmond, Vermont is one of these innovative motorists. Experiencing the high costs of fuel first hand as the owner of a construction business, Chad began searching for a feasible alternative that could save him some money and do some good for the environment. His search ended when he found MagDrive, a company based out of Georgia specializing in a conversion kit that supplements the gasoline powered car with hydrogen. The MagDrive kit uses distilled water and vinegar to create a hydrogen-oxygen gas liquid that is then injected into the intake system and mixed with the gasoline. The conversion allows vehicles driven on average 30 miles a day to get between 20 and 60 percent better fuel economy. The unit, which can cost between $700 and $1,600, is said to provide a savings of 35 percent in fuel costs. [Source: Burlington Free Press]
