I think im gonna let somebody else try it first

 

[Digger196]

would that actally work?

 

[Digger196]

i'm not doing ti but i would love to see it actually work!

There are ways your vehicle can run on water but the goverment would never let it happen

What? They're saying water has energy. No way. There aren't any hydrocarbons in it.

This is a joke.

Ever have water go into your engine? I have. It sucks. Water can't be compressed like gas can. It will simply hydrolock your engine.

Well that's interesting.
Sort of like going to propane or LP but you are using water and through a electrochemical process you are breaking down the molecules of water into hydrogen and oxygen and burning that in the combustion chamber of your automobile.

before knocking it, maybe someone should try building a small one of these (lawnmower maybe) water your grass and cut it at the same time hehe

I remember seeing on TV years ago that some Japanese scientest made an engine to run on tap water. The entire engine fit in the palm of his hand and it was made of clear plastic. Obviously not very powerful, but it was made only to prove that it worked.

Jason,

I think you missed the point of this. The system creates hydrogen to burned in the engine. The space shuttle works the same way...but the hydrogen is preproduced and loaded in the disposable tank. Look at the power the shuttle produces, and best of all the exhaust is all water vapor.

Electrolysis of H20 into hdrogen and oxygen uses up more energy than is netted by the combustion of hydrogen. I believe this process is used on subs to make oxygen- the hydrogen is vented. The space shuttle uses solid rocket boosters( propellant and oxidizer) along with a liquid rocket main engine and shuttle attitude motors. The liquids are liquid oxygen (oxidizer)and a propellant ( liquid hydogen or kerosene) the propellant is mixed with the oxidizer, ignited, forced through a rocket nozzle, and viola! the space shuttle launches! No, I am not a rocket scientist- but I do play one on TV.

actually, there has been at least one person that successfully created car engines that use water as fuel. the oil companies paid them off quickly so most people never heard about it. it was about 6 years ago maybe and only made the news for like 1 day.

I read it some more and I take back my previous post. It looks like it may work, but I'm no chemist. Is this process similar to the way a fuel cell works?

 

[mosinman]

The water engine is a myth kept alive by conspiracy buffs. Any engine using water as a fuel source uses up more energy processing the water for combustion than it produces. Really. The kinetic energy of moving water has been used for along time to produce electrical power and to power mills and the like. Remember the one about the 100mpg carburetor that was silenced by the oil companies ninjas? Fuel cells work almost like a battery. The cell has an electrolyte with two anodes. Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen the other. The result is electric current, some water and heat. A fuel cell will continue to work as long as it has oxygen from the air and has a hydrogen fuel source. Fuel cells are not efficient enough to be used in a car, but do show some promise.
