			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Would you like to find out if the Simple water fuel systems really work? This system is able to generate enough power to run a car and also improves the overall fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines in cars. In this article, I will discuss more about my experience with this electro mechanical system and how it works in general.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Is the Simple Water Fuel System Dangerous to Use?<br />
Because this water power system utilizes the energy from hydrogen to run cars, many people fear that it might be dangerous to install onto their vehicles. However, I have discovered that there is no need to worry as hydrogen is generated on demand with this system.<span id="more-217"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This means that hydrogen gas is only extracted when needed and is burned continually and not stored. This makes them very safe and they certainly do not possess the dangers associated with hydrogen tanks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. My Experience after the Simple Water Fuel Download<br />
Overall, I found the step by step manual easy to understand and follow, and I managed to get my water fuel device set up in just one day. When I turned on my engine with the system, I could see how the HHO jar and the water inside reacted. When I started to drive my car, I discovered that the MPG of my vehicle had increased by more than 50%.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Modifications Required to Use Simple Water Fuel System<br />
This system does not modify the car&#8217;s system in any way, and it can be connected to run partly on water and disconnected to let the vehicle run completely on gas again. No part of the vehicle&#8217;s existing systems will need to be disabled or modified.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The heart of any electric car conversion is the batteries. Without the batteries your car or truck isn&#8217;t going to go anywhere.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s important to find the right kind of batteries though. You are going to need a type of battery called a deep cycle battery. What this means is that the battery is designed to be discharged almost completely and it will continue to hold charge when you recharge it. If you don&#8217;t get this type of battery then after the first couple of charges with your electric car the batteries are going to stop working. So make sure you get 12 volt deep cycle batteries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are several sources where you can find these batteries for free. One of them is your local golf course. I used to work at a golf course while I was a teenager and every year or two we would swap the batteries out of the golf carts and replace them with new ones. The old batteries were still good, they were just replaced for routine maintenance. When I was doing my electric car conversion I went around to the local golf courses and managed to pick up 20 or so 12 volt deep cycle batteries. They still have years of life left in them, and if one breaks I have a couple of replacements.</p>
<p><span id="more-218"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another source of free batteries are fork lift batteries. These are usually swapped out every five years or so. If you ask around the warehousing district of your nearest city you should be able to find a couple of them. These batteries are great and they are designed to last at least 20 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The problem with forklift batteries is that they are quite a bit more bulkier than conventional 12 volt batteries so you will not be able to fit as many in&#8230; or you may not be able to fit them in at all. In order to use forklift batteries you&#8217;ll need to use quite a large car or you could clear out your trunk and mount them there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There you have it, what type of batteries you will need to make your electric car conversion. I recommend that you measure the dimensions inside the hood and the trunk so that you know whether you&#8217;ll be able to use forklift batteries or whether you have to use regular golf cart batteries. Both types are quite good, but fork lift batteries can store more energy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The brakes are obviously a vital part to your car. Going somewhere is only good if you can stop when you get there. The brakes are, of course, the key to making this happen. There are different types of brake systems, but all are based on the same basic premise. If you don&#8217;t understand them, you could be damaging your brakes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are two basic types of brake systems &#8211; drum and disc brakes. Most cars have disc brakes on all four wheels, but some have drums in the rear. Some cars also have ABS systems, which make the brakes more responsive while preventing skidding. Regardless of the brake system on your car, you could be doing damage to your brakes or at least wearing them out well before they should be. You do this by &#8220;riding&#8221; your brakes. To understand why it is a problem, we first need to discuss how brakes work.</p>
<p><span id="more-215"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A brake system is fairly simply. You press the brake pad to make the car slow down. When you press that pad, hydraulic fluid is pushed down brake lines and into the brake system at the wheel. In a disc system, the fluid causes an increase in pressure which causes a caliper to close. When it closes, pads on the caliper squeeze a disk on the wheel and cause it and the wheel to slow down. The same thing happens with a drum brake, except there is no squeezing. Instead, the increased pressure causes a brake shoe to push out against a drum. This causes the drum to slow and the wheel with it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you &#8220;ride&#8221; the brakes, you drive with your foot slightly hitting the brake pad. This causes the brakes to engage slightly again and again. It usually isn&#8217;t enough to activate the brake lights or create a sensation of driving. What it does do, however, is cause the surface of the brake pads or shoes to wear away as they lightly rub against the disc or drum. This friction will mean you&#8217;ll need to replace the pads or brake shoes frequently. It may also cause excessive heat, particularly in the drums, that may cause warping or problems that require a complete replacement of the brake system. That is a very expensive proposition.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you complain about your brakes going out quickly? Well, brake systems have been around forever and are pretty stable. If you need repairs after 10,000 to 15,000 miles, the problem is probably not your brakes &#8211; it is you. Pay close attention to how you drive and see if you are riding the brakes. If you can teach yourself to stop, you will save a ton of money on brake repairs.</p>
