Hydro-4000 Car Fuel Efficiency
Hydro-4000 promises to be a major step towards car fuel efficiency with almost 60% saving in fuel prices. I wonder when it will reach Pakistan. Also, I wonder if it would work with Petrol/Diesel Generators, considering we burn more fuel in generators than we do in cars 
Hydro-4000 supposedly uses Hydrogen to get your spark plugs kicking, instead of a mixture of air and gasoline. This creates a cleaner and more efficient burning environment. Channel-5 did some tests on their cars and here’s the video.

It is high time that we stop worrying about the lawyers and start thinking about this country’s energy crisis. The hydro 4000 is not a workable solution because the energy required for electrolysis is more than the energy produced by the combustion of hydrogen.

If the combustion provides more energy than electrolysis this would in effect become a perpetual motion device which is not permitted by the laws of physics. The solution which I see for this country is in algal production of hydrogen. The major cost in the production of hydrogen is compression. We can make algae farms in lower punjab and balochistan. These areas receive a of sunlight. This hydrogen can then be burnt and used to produce electricity. As for the transport problems the compressed air car appears to be a good solution. We cheap electricity we can compress the air economically. The current prototype can reach speeds of 110 km/hr however with addition of a small amount of fuel its an air engine’s power can increase significantly. If we are willing to pursue a hydrogen economy with the same determination as the nuclear bomb project we can solve most of our energy problems in a few years. In the short term we should also start constructing wind farms on the balochistan coastline
