    How to Make a Fuel Cell-Powered Car

    By Posted on 1.25.2008 8 Comments

    OpenerWhat looks like a refugee from Mad Max is really a modified RC car that runs on water rather than conventional batteries. This proof of concept project gives you some practical meaningful experience using a fuel cell to generate usable electricity. Why wait for the Honda FCX Hydrogen Car when you can build your own working model prototype today?

    Hi, You can already do pretty much the same thing with a full-size car or truck. I think the principle is the same, but you need to get accurate plans or it may not be safe. Apparently you can reduce gas consumption by over 50%! There's a good review here : Water Powered Cars Best Wishes, Zander

    Online Guitar Lessons with John Oates

    By Posted on 1.31.2008 2 Comments

    Unless youre a regular reader of TechCrunch or Vallywag, you probably wouldnt recognize many—or any—of the DEMO conference attendees as celebrities. So we were all psyched to get some time with John Oates (who used to play with a guy named Daryl), telling the story of how he wrote the song Shes Gone.

    Hi, I found this guitar course BRILLIANT. www.jamorama.com You get a lot more than one video for $10 if you buy the online only version, although if you want the hardcopy books and DVDs it's a bit more pricey. Zander Boon

    Natural-Gas-Powered Cars Fetching Big Bucks Online

    By Posted on 5.27.2008 8 Comments

    We reported last week on how feebly powered, fuel-sipping 1990s-vintage hatchbacks have been lighting up the used car market recently due to skyrocketing gas prices. In an interesting twist to this phenomenon, I actually benefited myself somewhat from this hysteria when I had to sell my beloved natural-gas-powered 2006 Honda Civic GX last week on eBay, turning it into one of the smarter investments I made all year.

    Hi, In fact there is potentially a better solution to the economic and environmental issue, and it's achievable right now. Not many people know that you can convert your car to use HHO gas released from water as an additive to regular gas. This can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 60% - and it really works. You can find out more here: http://waterforfuel.zanderboon.com Of course it's not in the interests of the govt OR the oil cos to publicise this, for obvious reasons. Of course, once the cat's out of the bag they'll be taxing - errrmmm - water??? Best Wishes, Zander

    As Gas Prices Rise, So Does Public Transit Usage

    By Posted on 5.12.2008 1 Comments

    Mass transit systems across the country are experiencing surges in ridership, pushing many of them to the brink of capacity for the first time. As the price of oil continues its inexorable climb—now past $125 a barrel—some metropolitan areas have seen an increase in use as large as 15% over this past year. While cities with integral systems, like New York, have reported a small bump, it is municipalities in which car transport has been the norm which are now overflowing with new subway, light rail, and bus riders.

    Hi, In fact, you can build an "under the hood" system that releases hydrogen and oxygen from water and feeds it into an internal combustion engine. A lot of people are using them right now. I reviewed a few of the systems here Run Your Car On Water Best Wishes, Zander
