V8 Beast Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I think the oil companies have seen this coming for a while and thats the reason why they keep raising prices. This way when these cars do take over they will have already made 50 years worth of profits over a 20 year span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I guess the real question is, once this happens, will they raise the price of water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I guess the real question is, once this happens, will they raise the price of water? The real profitier will sell cheap and simple rain catching devices and condesation catching devises to cathc "FREE" water... me on the other hand, ill be melting the snow in Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I think the fact that it can power a car at 80kmph for one hour with a single liter of water is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Officer. Have you been drinking? Yes, Officer. I need to get home. =============================== Sounds like a good excuse to drink a few beers and let rip. Maybe the gf would stop asking for me to go on long trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Put a rain catcher on top/in front of the car and you could drive indefinitely in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 The energy needed for the electrolysis has to come from somewhere... Battery system- that car be charged while the car is moving? As for the price of Oil, its called a futures market for a reason.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Is the car faster when running on Tea and Coffee? actually, given how it works, Orange juice or lemonaid would work best. I made hydrogen in my garage once.... it was loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I can't view the video at work, but I call bullshit, and I also think thermodynamics should be a required class in high school. Sure you can have a car "powered by water", it can and already has been done with electrolysis. However, like rl said, the power has to come from somewhere and just using the power for electric motors would be far more efficient. Energy in must equal energy out.

Benner Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 That's awesome, but hopefully the the tank cap is on the passenger side. That way I could just pull over and piss in the tank when it's almost empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, like rl said, the power has to come from somewhere and just using the power for electric motors would be far more efficient. Energy in must equal energy out. In theory, part of the process is accelerated using a "catalyst" - which is essencially creating some sort of harmonic frequency within the electrolysis process. In the end it doesn't matter. If cars "run on water" were mass produced, large corporations will create the sense of scarcity to control prices of water, and in the next century you can sit on columbusracing and bitch about water prices.

Mark1647545493 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 This thread made me lol. This has been around since before most of the people on this board was even born.... There was a guy from Grove City that came up with this in the late 70's early 80's. He made a rail buggy run on water. If I remember right he had a meeting with the Government about his new technology and was never heard from again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hot_wire Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 This is brought up way too often. The concept defies a key law of thermodynamics that I am too lazy to look up. However, if there is actual proof and a detailed explanation, this advance would change the world (as well as the pages of my science book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 You guys are gonna make my head asplode. If he is using a catalyst, it is probably pure sodium or another of the alkaline metals as they react with water and release the hydrogen. You think gasoline is expensive? Try filling up on sodium... Harmonics have absolutely nothing to do with it. Hotwire, it is the 1st law of thermo that it is violating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I showed my brother this earlier today. He is in school for mechanical and chemical engineering. He started to explain to me how "HHO" is not possible. The knowledge of that kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
