A New Fuel for Cars?

So there are a lot of ways to help you save money on gas. You can get a car with good gas mileage, carpool, plan out a start to finish journey so that you're not backtracking all over town, and make sure your tires are not flat. But really, no matter what you do, gas prices are outrageous.

Gas prices have increased the prices of everything. Since it takes fuel to transport items such as food and other goods, their prices have gone up as well.

So what gives? What is one to do about this?

I bet some of you in long distance relationships are really feeling it too. It kind of sucks to have to spend tons of money just on gas alone if you want to see your significant other.

I have been in a car with friends in which my friend didn't tank up before we set out into town, and he ran out of gas on some back roads. We were probably about four miles from the nearest gas station. He had to call a list of friends to come help us out, not to mention a police car coming to see what was up.

Fuelling your car in general can be a pain. Not only for the money, but it seems like the money is burning up as fast as if you were to put a lighted match to it.

Will we ever have relief?

I always hoped for some revolutionary method of travel. Yeah, hover cars would be cool someday, but I am thinking before that time. A day when we no longer have to worry about oil and ethanol, and whatever else goes along with it.

Well maybe relief is on the way. I heard that recently some scientists have discovered that radio frequencies help burn salt water. Anyone who knows anything at all about the world, knows that most of the world is made of water, and not just water, but salt water.

The discovery was actually an accident. John Kanzius was trying to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he created to help treat cancer.

This truly opens up a whole new line of things that can be done. If sea-water can be burned they are now testing the idea that perhaps it can be used to fuel vehicles.

There are electric cars and battery operated cars that can go at minor speeds, but not too far. But think of actually having a car that could travel a long distance needed for reasons such as visiting someone you haven't seen in a while or transporting goods that is cheap.

Sometimes it takes one idea to trigger another idea. I think this idea is big enough to get people to think of other ways to fuel cars again and to actually go through with it.

The only thing I worry about is if the method to burn the water creates pollutants or if we don't gain back the water we use and drain the ocean. I am no scientist, I am just someone excited about this new discovery that could potentially lead to a new method of energy.
