What has Water to do with Saving at the Pump?

Do you realize that you're driving a very poorly designed car? It has a beautiful finish and some very futuristic looks. But it does poorly on energy. Only 25% of the energy in the gasoline you paid dearly for is actually used for moving forward. 75% is turned into heat (destroys the planet), emissions (unburned fuel), and additionally vibration and carbon deposits that slowly destroys the engine. And plain freaking noise that we just take for granted.





We've all heard and seen "hybrids"� but on the highway they are nothing but regular, inefficient cars. Their aerodynamics are a little better, but that's true for many other cars that don't have the Prius looks. It's a great step forward though, if you can afford the price, because they make us think of alternative energy in more earthly terms.






One major solution can be converting your existing car to FULL ELECTRIC (not hybrid - you throw away the engine and put an electric motor and a bunch of batteries), for which conversion kits are available from several companies in the "green mile"� of California's Bay Area. The next best thing - but 15 to 60(!) times cheaper - is to convert your existing car to a WATER HYBRID. That is, you leave the engine in there, unmodified or mostly unmodified, and you boost it up with water. Yes, it IS possible! And fairly easy.

From my experimentation with different cars, old and new, I found out that the SYSTEM approach to energy savings works the best. I recommend that you use ALL the technologies listed below to save fuel, because they support and supplement each other. A nice 20% saving here, 5% there, 3% over there, it quickly adds up. You can practically double your mileage and be the envy of the neighborhood.

The 12 ingredients of my "secret recipe"� are:

1. Install a water-to-energy converter. These are basically electrolyzers or vapor injectors that use very little energy to boost the poor performance of gasoline as explained above. You can get a fully functional, ready to install system dirt cheap from www.Water4Gas.com

2. Install a fuel warmer such as "Fuel Atomizer 2000"� - http://wyominginstruments.com

3. Replace the spark plug WIRES with "Kiker Wires"� from http://KikerPerformance.com that improve the sparks by creating magnetic fields.
4. DO NOT, let me repeat this, DO NOT fill up your tank at stations that add 10% ethanol (the mixture is called "gasohol"�). Instead, buy some Xylene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylene) and add it yourself for much better results and fuel economy.

And a few essential more.

For example driving habits are another major contributor. Before I go into that it is worth to mention that none of the "miracles"� above will do much of its magic if your engine is broken. You can't just wish your way past a broken piston - fix it. It's part of your responsibilities as a driver. Now for driving habits, you can read all about it on the Internet, so let me tell you one trick you don't hear about too often, and that's to put your gear into neutral when you go downhill. I have a ScanGauge device and (while the water device keeps the engine idling almost without fuel) I get readouts of up to 340 MPG downhill. I have photos to prove it and I believe even higher numbers are possible. That means that for long stretches of road I'm using hardly any gasoline at all. Link To Product Used in Video

Last but not least is to get your money back. Make your government support you and reward you for doing all the above - see

Yeah, and there's one more ingredient to this secret recipe: don't be fooled by self-appointed "experts"�. How can you tell if one is an expert or a silly bugger? When they tell you "it cannot be done"� or "it is scientifically impossible"�, you ask them - and INSIST on a straight answer - you ask them if they have ever TRIED it themselves, exactly per a specific technology and with TODAY'S cars. You will find out that they haven't. Tell them to bugger off. And don't take my word for it either because maybe I'm a silly bugger just as well. Experiment for yourself! There's no other way of really KNOWING if it is true or not.

And then let the world know. I do.

All About Halloween

Thats the First Article from John Lenaghan and about Halloween that this year will be at October 31st.



Halloween... Everyone loves to dress up and attend Halloween parties with
their friends. Most people end up getting several invitations to different Halloween parties that are often on the same night. If youare planning to throw yourown Halloween party, how can you get all your friends to head to your shindig and not someone else's?Many people don't bother thinking of a theme for their Halloween party
since it seems to be somewhat of a theme already.



But rather than just putting up some Happy Halloween banners and fake cobwebs, why not come up with a great theme party idea?

You can do anything from a haunted

house or graveyard to a monster mash or horror movie bash. Once you've chosen your theme apply it to everything from your invitations to your party food. Guests will love some guidance on what to dress up as, especially if you do something a little different.
Your Halloween party invitations are one of the most important aspects of your party. Invitations are the best way to get your guests excited about your party. Many people don't even send invitations anymore so even sending out simple ones will help your party stick in people's minds. Be sure to apply your party theme to your invitations. If you can't find any invitations at your local party store that go with your theme you can always use invitation templates that you can download for free from the Internet.





You can totally customize invitation templates and add colorful pictures as well. Guests will love to receive these fun invitations in the mail. You should send your invitations out approximately three to four weeks before your party to give everyone time to make plans to attend. If you're running short of time sending electronic invitations is a great idea too. You can add animation and sound to e-invitations and even check guest's responses online. Be sure to contact anyone who doesn't respond via telephone since not everyone checks their email often.

Spooky Decorations

Everyone will expect to see your house decorated to the nines on Halloween so be sure not to disappoint. Your decorations should match your theme, so give them plenty of thought. For instance, a haunted house theme should be complete with low lighting, smoke, a spooky soundtrack, and even live ghouls to jump out and scare the guests as they arrive. A horror movie bash might include retro horror B-movie posters stuck on the walls which you can find on the Internet and print
off at home. Decorations can be found just about anywhere in the months leading up to Halloween. Even grocery stores carry a wide selection. Start shopping early so you can get the best selection possible and take advantage of any sales. If you can't find just what you're looking for you can always rent decorations from a local party supply shop or even purchase decorations from the Internet. The Internet has an almost endless selection and you can find just about any party supplies or decorations you'll need.
Music is an important aspect of any party as well. While some spooky tunes are fun at first, you'll want to switch over to some more upbeat music once the party gets going. People love to dance so have plenty of high energy songs ready to go. If you are inviting a variety of different people have several different types of music so no ones gets bored.

Tasty Halloween Treats

Food is an important part of any party. While you don't need to provide a full meal, some creative and tasty snacks and treats will help keep your guests fueled for the night's festivities. Turning simple party food into ghoulish culinary delights will surprise and please your guests. Try making some bewitching cupcakes, and put out snacks such as gummy worms and other Halloween candy treats.

Costumes are a given, since this is Halloween after all. If you are having a Halloween theme of some sort, let your guests know on your invitations that they should dress to fit the theme. For instance, if you're throwing a horror movie bash, you can simply say, "come as your favorite horror movie star". Don't expect all your guests to comply with your request. Some people have been thinking up their Halloween costume since last year!
Don't forget about the party favors! Depending on how many people you're inviting and how much you're willing to spend, the possibilities are endless when it comes to party favors. A simple idea is candy bags full of traditional treats such as candy corn. Something more substantial might be a pumpkin carving kit that comes with cutouts and tools. Your guests will love having a little something to take home
with them.

Endless Costume Possibilities

If you really aren't into the scary aspect of Halloween, you can always break with tradition and hold a different type of Halloween party. Have a famous couples party or a crazy hat party instead. Guests can still dress up but might be more creative then a white sheet with holes cut out of it. Dressing up for Halloween is something that both adults and kids can enjoy so great creative and have fun with it! Having games at your party isn't a necessity, but can be a great deal of fun for your guests. Games act as an excellent icebreaker if everyone doesn't know each other. Any games where you can break people off into teams will help to get everyone talking. Pumpkin carving contests are a good idea, as is bobbing for apples. Be sure to give a prize to the best costume as well. Your Halloween party is sure to be a success if you take the time to plan. Leave yourself plenty of time and don't forget it's all the little details that help to make a fabulous party. Enlist the help of family and friends if you're feeling overwhelmed, and remember,
planning is half the fun!
