Can it be? Can it possibly be?
A vehicle that runs on WATER???



How long before the big oil corporations buy this company out and kills the project?

That's some hot shit right there.

I'll take one of those and a BMW to go..Thank You!

we need one that runs on sea water
fresh water here will soon be as expensive as petrol

My mate Vinnie has a friend who had his car converted to run on vegetable oil. He goes to the fish and chips shop and takes the oil they have fried with, off their hands, for free!!

A flock of sea-gulls would fly after his car when he drives down the street, I'd imagine!

whats this going to cost 80-90 thousand U.S. dollars?

horatio said:

the ROI would be higher than a $80-90k speedster

uh oh...

Can they make one that runs on idiots. There's a thought for a source of energy we will never run out of.

ZombieKitten said:

True.

It says it wll run on any kind of water... You can pee in the tank

Steadwood said:

So it really runs on hydrogen. But getting hydrogen from water takes energy. Where does the power come from to get the hydrogen from the water?

NDRU said:

Dunno...

...A battery maybe?

Steadwood said:

exactly, and an electric car requires no water at all!

NDRU said:

Yeah, it's a combo of battery and water to release the hydrogen. My uncle has outfitted his car so the air intake actually takes in the hydrogen and he's getting 100 miles to the gallon. Since he's done it himself, I'll never drive with him because I'm just waiting for it to blow up but he drives 300 miles a week...

Then there's the car company I've been keeping my eye on...

That's SO WRONG!!!

KidaDynamite said:

that's some serious...

when he first started "expermenting" with getting hydrogen from water, I was impressed...then...the exlposion from pent up hydrogen trapped in a nozel from a spark...

Hindenburg?

It'll be killed off soon enough!

Slave2daGroove said:

Dang!

My nephew told me about this - I think it could really be fantastic.

NDRU said:

But by extracing the hydrogen you can run an altenator to charge the battery. Hydrogen creates more energy than required for extraction extraction

A guy in New Zealand came up with a converter the size of a brief case which which extracted the Hydrogen from water, which would run his 1970 Chrysler! This was in the early 80's. The guy went missing shortly after he got backing 2 go in2 production from the Queensland Government in Australia. The Queensland Premier of the time ended up with egg on his face after this!

Amaxx said:

Why do all of these people and companies involved with this "come up missing" or die in a Denny's parking lot?

Slave2daGroove said:

Well...either the big oil companies gave him a pair of cement shoes and a suite in the Pacific Ocean, or he was a con-artist and took the money & ran.

ThirdandFinal said:

I've always heard the opposite (that it takes at least twice as much energy to extract hydrogen as it ends up producing) but I am not a scientist.

Certainly I hope that you are right!
