just curious if there were any videos of driving techniques and stuff and there were- i found FAS video. Anyway then i found this video - very cool :D This guy runs his car on water.

I still don't understand where he thinks he can energy to run a car after spitting water and putting it back together again. It's one way to start with electricity and end with heat, but you don't get more thermal energy than the electricity you put in. The math just doesn't work out.
That and I don't think I would want a stoichiometric mix of hydrogen and oxygen in a tank anywhere near me. Tried that as a kid, saw the results!

for the life of me i cant figure this out but if you type
car that runs on water
or
water fueled car at you tube you will find the video
sorry about this guys

You also get all kinds of pseudo-science hoo-ha, such as a bunch
of crap from PES. Not happenin', end of story.

if this was possible and readily available to the public how much do you think water would go for?:rolleyes:
Just a thought here. In the video it mentioned negotiations with automakers and later mentioned Hummer (a GM product I believe). Lets review what happend the last time GM came across a great way to propel cars without gas... (jepordy music here)... That's right they sold it to Chevron, who holds the patents to this day. The tech was the NiMH EV1 battery pack, and certain NiMH designs are bared from use in a vehicle because it will infringe on Chevron's NiMH patent.
I certainly hope this guy doesn't sell his patent to GM for 100 Mil. I'm sure Chevron would be right in line to buy it from them at a tidy profit, and GM wouldn't have to do a lick of R&D. But then again, I think GMs credit is in the tank, so raising 100 Mil for IP would probably be frowned upon.

As I have said before, there is valid science behind using a hydrogen stream to reduce emissions from a gasoline ICE. It appears to modify combustion in such a way that NOx goes down and stability goes up, paving the way for leaner mixtures in a modified engine without the need for exotic catalytic convertors. But you can't just plug an electrolyzer into your stock Ford whatever and get results.
