  • I wouldn't mind having the welder.

  • yeah but we're running out of resources

  • KNOW THIS right now, it takes less watts to electrolyse water into its combustable gases of oxygen and hydrogen than is produced in the following hydrogen and oxygen explosion. Harness this in a design and you've got all it takes! Some of you look really stupid to me, and to think in 20 years or so when all of this hits mainstream your kids are gonna look at this and know you were a real dumb mouthy underachieving jack ass that doesn't do the work before they write something!

  • I pity halley because he is the only guy here that understands that YOU CAN NOT USE WATER AND CONVERT THAT INTO A GAS THAT GETS BURNED AND HAVE IT ACTUALLY WORK. You are spending more energy breaking down the water than you can EVER get by burning it.

    This is a simple concept! The fact is that if you believe that an engine can break down water and burn the result and end up producing work and energy you are a total dolt. mrh and you other idiots have defective brains.

  • where can i get 1

  • Its not going to happen at least for us regular cevilians, the government wouldnt be able to regulate it .......at the begining at least.

  • 3 years later...ho hum...

  • You require energy to separate the water. Burning the hydrogen won't yield more energy than it took to produce it in the first place. You still need an external energy source. All this really does is waste energy by adding an extra conversion. You might as well use the energy to drive the car directly instead of throwing away 20% of it on generating hydrogen as an intermediary.

  • If you already have that much electricity on board, you would do better to use that electricity to drive the engines directly. That would be far more efficient than wasting 20% to 40% of it to add electrolysis to the mix.

    Current battery technology renders electric cars something of a novelty right now, that's why hybrid cars are currently on the market. Hydrogen fuel cell engines have promise, because you can offload the electrolysis to the power grid, which can use solar, wind or nuclear.

  • On board electrolysis makes no sense in terms of energy efficiency. The energy lost to electrolysis would mean you'd be better served to drive the engine directly with whatever power source you were using to perform electrolysis.

  • This isn't just high school physics we're talking about her. This is the second law of thermodynamics. If this guy really could voilate that fundamental principle of the universe, then he'd go down in history as smarter than Newton and Einstein.

    But hey, keep ignoring the science. It'll only make it easier for the next scam artist looking for "investors" to fleece you. Ignore the fact that if the second law of thermodynamics was mutable, modern internal combustion engines wouldn't work.

  • Ignore him.

    He doesn't believe anything unless it's published in a "peer reviewed" journal. No one willing to explore science beyond the antiquated "conservation of energy" will take him seriously.

  • You're joking, right? If not that is the clumsiest, most idiotic attempt at an Ad hominem attack I've ever seen. Is your channel full of videos about quantum physics and energy dynamics? No, it's not.

    How could my choice of pet have ANY bearing upon my knowledge of science?

    Please stop grasping at straws and try to find some actual DATA.

  • I pity you. In the message you sent me you claimed the military was using water powered vehicles. I hate to break it to you but amphibious vehicles are NOT water powered as you seem to think.

    Your ignorance of science and lack of critical thinking skills will make you an easy mark for scam artists. I recommend you arm yourself by watching the free video "here be dragons" by Brian Dunning.

  • Let me reiterate, I'm not claiming a hydrogen fueled vehicle is impossible. All I'm trying to point out is that performing the electrolysis IN THE MOVING CAR is a bad idea and will not result in a viable engine. Burning the hydrogen yields less energy than it took to separate it.

    What part of the above do you actually disagree with?

    You'd be better off with a hydrogen tank that had been filled elsewhere using a renewable energy source.

  • I'm not denying that hydrogen cell vehicles are possible. All I'm trying to point out is that performing the electrolysis in the moving car is a bad idea and will result in a net loss of energy. The claims of a vehicle that can run forever on water alone are, to be blunt, impossible. Anyone claiming they have a vehicle that can run on water alone is either a liar or an idiot.

    You need to separate the hydrogen elsewhere and provide the car with a hydrogen tank if you want the thing to work.

  • "i have an a* in science"

    And how well did they cover thermodynamics in your "science" class? What topics have you actually studied?

    "lol im probably one of the most intelligent people in britan "

    If your self assessment is accurate, then I think we can all see why the empire fell.

  • dude you have no idea what is going on in the world, people with masters degrees in chem dont fully understand how to exact this process, if you are so amazing GET OFF THE INTERNET AND INTO THE LAB, DAM

  • You just spent three posts writing about something that's completely irrelevant to what's actually being debated.

    Please try to understand, I don't doubt that hydrogen can be burned to produce energy or that hydrogen could be used to power a car.

    My point is that performing the electrolysis IN THE MOVING CAR will result in a net loss of energy. You need more energy to perform the electrolysis than you can recover from burning the resulting gas.

    What part of this do you actually disagree with?

  • Water torches are irrelevant to the question of if water powered cars would work, but that's a common mistake and one promoted by scam artists trying to bilk investors.

    All water torches do is prove that you can burn hydrogen to generate a lot of heat. The thing that makes water cars impossible is the fact that it takes more energy to perform electrolysis on water than you can retrieve from burning the resulting gas.

    Welding is not an energy efficient process. :)

  • Who cares how hot it gets? That's not relevant to this discussion.

    You're still using more energy to perform electrolysis than you can recover from burning the hydrogen. Performing electrolysis IN THE MOVING CAR results in a net loss of energy. You can bring up all the examples of hydrogen welding technology you want, but unless you get over the laws of thermodynamics you won't be able to build a working "water car."

  • Halleyscomet, obviously the issue eludes you, you are clueless! hence the hard headed statements..."who cares how hot it gets, yada yada. utterly stupid. You simply don't know what you a re talking about.-if you idd- you'd be embarrassed.

    Accusing somebody of trying to deceive or scam because you don't fucking understand t he issue does not address the matter at hand. Ultimately whether you get it or not shit is happening- deal with it.

  • Well, by your logic the editors of Popular Mechanics must also be idiots:

    "Problem: It takes exactly the same amount of energy to pry those hydrogen and oxygen atoms apart inside the electrolysis cell as you get back when they recombine inside the fuel cell. The laws of thermodynamics havent changed, in spite of any hype you read on some blog or news aggregator. Subtract the losses to heat in the engine and alternator and electrolysis cell, and youre losing energy, not gaining it—period."

  • I suggest you read the following articles on the Popular Mechanics web site:

    "The Truth About Water-Powered Cars: Mechanic's Diary"

    "Water-Powered Cars: Hydrogen Electrolyzer Mod Can't Up MPGs"

    They go into more of the science behind water powered cars.

    I also recommend the Skeptoid article (Also available as a podcast "Water: Alternative Fuel of the Future?"

  • 3 big yawns.

  • Yeah I can understand that. Real science and facts are pretty boring to people who are determined to believe in nonsense.

  • Yawn.

  • At the end of the day you don't know anything. regurgitating somebody else's bullshit does not mean YOU know what you are talking about. You don't, period.

    You can't even read correctly and confusing water torch for hydrogen torch is no more than the sign of a lazy, ignorant mind. Your sources mean nothing leave science alone is not your forte dude. You are a bore, plain and simple and ignorant fucking bore. A waste of time too.

  • A water torch IS a variety of a hydrogen torch.

    You bring up welding technologies as if they somehow supported your claim that a water powered car would work. You're ignoring the entire energy equation. Welders are just using the hydrogen to generate heat. It STILL takes more energy to perform electrolysis than you recover from burning the hydrogen. The Skeptoid article I posted about earlier goes into more detail.

  • Comment removed

  • uhhh you cant run just on water, there needs to be some input of energy such as electricity to transform that water or break it up. thats why he only couples water with his gasoline car and his welding thing needs electricity

  • Even if you had a magical means of converting energy forms with zero loss, you'd have energy leaving the system by doing the work of moving the car. There would be less and less energy with which to separate water, which means you'd have diminished volumes of hydrogen to work with. The car would grind to a halt after only a few cycles.

  • @dangflo if you have a car with a battery to give the initial charge, and an alternator to recharge the battery, then an automobile could run on water easily

  • oh snaps! HYDE WAS RIGHT!

  • The car is a scam.

  • If this worked the car companies would be doing it...Simple isn't it.

  • I see, rather than face the fact that this "technology" is a scam, you rely upon silly conspiracy theories and vague bogyman multinational corporations to explain it's absence from the real world.

    It's a pity really.

  • The technology doesn't work. In order for it to work the way these videos claim, the designer would have needed to overturn the second law of thermodynamics. That's not exactly a small feat. It would be a physics breakthrough that would reduce Einstein and Newton to irrelevant footnotes.

    Please, take a few actual physic courses in school. Learn a bit about how the these things work so you can more easily see through frauds and scams like this so called "water powered car."

  • So according to you, high school physics classes are government indoctrination?

    Energy is used by moving the car. Even if you found some magical zero loss way to convert the electricity into hydrogen and then combust the hydrogen, you still lose energy in the process of moving the car. The initial battery charge will get whittled down and on each cycle you'll have less and less energy with which to perform electrolysis and thus less hydrogen to burn.

  • "So according to you, high school physics classes are government indoctrination?"

    HA!

    You honestly think they aren't???

  • Im sorry mate, but you are an idiot, i suggest you do some research before opening your mouth. Lets look at power generation, a billion dollar industry, now don't you think the power companies would use this technology to generate power if it worked instead of coal, hydro and nuclear...think about it, look at the money they could make.But it does not work,it is physics, it simply doesn't work.

  • Cont:

    I am still waiting to see in youtube two small motors running, one on petrol and one HHO. Then if it is scientifically done and the HHO one runs for a longer time than the petrol one i will be interested in it, other wise where is the proof apart form con men telling you it works and people like you believing them.

    Oh, and this vid is 3 years ago, where is the con man and his invention now...

  • Fusion has been done many times???

    Taken from: Fusion Education-What is Fusion

    While fusion sounds simple, the details are difficult and exacting. Heating, compressing and confining hydrogen plasmas at 100 million degrees is a significant challenge. It has taken a lot of science and engineering research to get fusion developments to where they are today. Both magnetic and inertial fusion programs are conducting experiments to develop a commercial application.

  • If all goes well, commercial application should be possible by about 2020, providing humankind a safe, clean, inexhaustible energy source for the future.

    Plus:

    Recreating it on Earth, though is an entirely different story. You see, those hydrogren atoms are both positively charged. Like the poles of a magnet, those similarly-charged particles have a tendency to repel each other, unless they can be heated to extremely high temperatures, i.e. millions of degrees Centigrade,

  • Cont;

    like the conditions found at the center of your average star.

    This is the conundrum facing scientists trying to develop fusion as a practical source of power: if you can heat the particles to the extreme temperatures necessary to begin the reaction, one of two things will happen: either the hot reactive mass will destroy its container, or the container will cool and shut down the reaction. Either way, you can see, fusion is not going to be easy to achieve.

  • Cont:

    Of course, that hasn't stopped the scientific establishment - the laboratories and physicist withs the big government-funded budgets - from spending, literally, billions and billions of dollars over the past 50 years trying to get the genie in the bottle. They have tried to contain fusion with giant whirling magnets (magnetic confinement) and high-powered lasers (inertial confinement).

  • It will only get harder to keep this technology under wraps. Back in the 1950's you needed a million dollar lab to build these engines. Before long every Tom, Dick and Harry will have the means to design, test and build a true over-unity generator. OPEC is running scared because the clock is ticking.

  • Why would car companies lose money on this?

    The first company to market a car that ran on water and not gasoline would become the #1 car company on the planet overnight. Do you have ANY idea how many people buy cars based in part on fuel efficiency?

    I'm boggled at the confusion of ideas needed to think car companies would lose money if they could make cars that were cheaper to operate.

  • So what if ditching gasoline hurt OPEC? The auto industry isn't a subdivision of big oil. They have a close partnership now, but no businessman in their right mind would turn down a technology that would give them an immediate and massive edge over their competitors.

    It looks to me like you're turning to conspiracy theories to avoid facing the simple fact that water powered cars are a scam.

  • Arguments about big oil conspiracies are irrelevant. Please try to stick to the science.

    The technology doesn't work. If the laws of physics really were THAT different, then a good deal of the modern technology we actually use wouldn't work! This isn't some dirty little secret that could be buried.

  • The 85 Civic only got about 35 mpg in real world usage. 2008 Civics have been reported getting as high as 45 mpg highway. It says a lot about your argument that you need to make up numbers and then compare an 85 sedan to a modern SUV to make your case.

    Due to the higher power engines, SUVs burn more fuel than a sedan. Even then, they burn less fuel than their 80's counterparts.

  • The car companies themselves wouldn't but their Saudi backers would.

  • ok...people..think..IFFFF....t­his "invention" is so real and so good....WHY is his own car a water/GASOLINE hybrid? why not full water?? this is fake....wake up..whats the top speed?? whats the horsepower...? "on a 100 mile trip we use four ounces of water".....and what?? FIFTY gallons of gas?? wow..not impressed. again..why is car a water/GASOLINE hybrid? why not water only?? its worthless and fake

  • Because it's illegal to have a car running on something other than what's "approved" .  And your dull minded comment dismissing this as fake is the sign of a lazy mind channeling those 2 other bores Randi the lousy magician and wind bag Carl Sagan. Yawn,.

  • ok idiot...you gave NO information..i asked specific questions..whats the horse power?? whats teh top speed? how much GAS was used in the 100 mile trip he used 4 ounces of water on?? you probably believe in "man made global warming" too dont you?? morons....YAWN...go ahead and buy this great invention. do you have it?? why not? i thought it was so good...again..IDIOT

  • Before you get your knickers in a twist some more- look up Atomic hydrogen. Obviously you have no clue

    as to the fucky you are complaiinig about.

    Any moron who takes the position that if something makes no sense to tjeir stunted little world and therefore it

    must be fake; belongs in the category of doughy -arrogant jerk offs, too busy wanking off to anime porn instead of

    getting real pussy. Now go to your room and shut the fuck up.

  • you are a complete idiot, rare breed you are. i have met many idiots but never a complete one. where are the answers?? horsepower, top speed? if that engine exists then so do the answers ..ANYONEEE got the answers...NO cus they dont exist.. IDIOT

  • Do you really want to know? stop grandstanidng, contact Jim Klein, tell him he's a fake, tell him you

    can spot a fake because it takes one to know one.

    Yeah, it's a conspiracy of deception meant to get tantrumy, self important assholes like you pissed off.

    Well, guess what? in spite of the fact that your mommy keeps telling you how special and unique

    you are- your fucking opinion does not matter. Shit goes on and happens whether you get it or not.

    so deal with it.

  • can you or can you NOT read? where is your proof?  go buy that car....then ill believe you ..unitl then dude you and i are done talking...you are all mouth..no proof....SHOW ME or shut the fuck up, cunt

  • yawn.

  • Yea then water would cost more per gallon than gas.

  • Can you use this to heat homes to cut your gas bill?

  • Yes, but defective, leaky, systems will cause your house to explode.

  • bless him for coming up with this. I remember watching a show called that's incredible when I was about 6 and a scientist had created a one person car that ran on about a cup of water. that was in the late 70s/early 80's imagine if he had been allowed/supported to develop that technology. so much pollution and so many wars would have been avoided.

    let's pray this gentleman doesn't die of some "unfortunate accident" or "suddent illness".

    on a lighter note....YAY THIS IS GOOD NEWS!

  • Look up "gullible" . Your picture's there!

  • You are one gullible , pathetic cretin.

  • Was this screened on the 1st of April?

  • And why the fuck don't we have this available to the public yet??

  • This is not good for corporations or governments because they lose money. It exists but will never happen because the view of governments and corporations is: Money > the people.

  • nice but since water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen,what's the process he used to separate H2 to O2?there must be some kind of device.economically,if his invention will be used around the world, He just oil producing countries!

  • Bullshit

  • Cute claim.

    Got a aource?

    Oh, right, I forgot, the lack of evidence is considered proof of a conspiracy.

  • yea he was murdered by george bush because he knew about 911, you people are retarded !!! he's not dead, yes the government sucks, but this guy is alive and well !!!

  • Lies, he was NOT murdered. This first aired Jun 1st 2006.

  • this guy was murdered

  • your thinking of stan meyer, now that guy is dead

  • Houston Local News :), that is Mike Barajas on the left, just for Trivia he is a high school dropout, got his GED studied Journalism, and is now a local well-known anchor.

  • somebody help me make my car run on water

  • ppl ppl ppl, this guy was murdered more then 10 years ago, he was the first to do this kindah stuff makin a car run on water and nothing else he was murdered because like already mentioned the government doesn give a shit about saving the enviroment only about more money

  • Please shut the fuck up. You have no idea what you are talking about.

  • uhh ya it did havent you seen the movie who killed the electric car watch it then say those cars dont go fast  also i agree with you about the gasoline thing this goverment wont give up gas till the earth is bone dry

  • actually, the gas companies bought them out and, also the tourch is true... it is all science with the periodic table... this man is genius

  • the goverment is all a joke they wount release these cars because there main priority is money and taxes from gas rather then the enviorment and saving the earth from polution

  • George W will not let this get on to the streets!

    Water powered engines are not a new thing they were around in the 70s.

    No country could afford the loss of taxes and revenue gained by the use of fossil fuels for transport!!

    This will never become mainstream i guarantee it!!!

  • Hey, if it's on Fox, you KNOW it's got to be the whole truth, vetted and researched...

    Sure, hydrogen-oxygen flames do just what Klein shows, but..."flame that feels only slightly warm to the touch...", yet melts brass? Where's the clip of the reporter--I think his name was Ace Douchebag-- holding his hand in front of the flame? (I'll pay to see that!) That bit should set off the ol' Numbnuts Reporter Alarm right there...and it happens in the first 10 seconds. (cont'd)

  • And he goes on, of course...saying that Klein thought his electrolysis invention would "...replace volatile acetylene fumes in welding factories". There's nothing more "volatile" than hydrogen in the universe, and not to be too picky, but there is no industry properly known as a "welding factory," except perhaps in Ace Douchebag's home town of New Jargonville.

  • (cont'd) If you're going to make up industry jargon and report it with authority, expect to be picked apart by people who smell your hydrogen. And "HHO gas?" What, Klein also invented a gas previously unknown to chemists? Gimme a BREAK! (cont'd...)

    "On a hundred mile trip," says Klein, "we use about four ounces of water." Note that he DOESN'T claim that it's EXCLUSIVELY water.

  • (cont'd) How much GAS does that trip require to generate the vast quantity of hydrogen-- that indeed is available from four ounces of liquid water? Now THAT is the "burning" question, as spoken in annoying reporter-puns. Douchebag goes on to make the bold-sounding claim that the car can also run exclusively on water...and obviously this isn't for very long, since we figure the IC engine isn't there for decoration or to appease the oil companies.

  • (cont'd) So...we generate hydrogen using buckets of gasoline...so what? Tell us what the overall efficiency is, if you want to make any kind of honest claim...or at LEAST say what efficiency of electrolysis you claim to have achieved.

    "...developing a Hummer for the US military that can run on both water AND gasoline." Why? "In case of extreme thirst, drink exhaust"? "Wouldn't it be cool if we had a Hummer that could run on water, as long as we had lots of gasoline around too?"

  • (cont'd) If true this would require an extensive cooperative effort of the Fed and AMC, when we can't even get existing Hummers fitted with armor... paradoxically, this is the most believable part of this stupidly-spun story.

  • I hope the oil tycoons have to sell they multi-million dollar homes for the price of one gallon of gas when they get run out of business. Payback is a wonderfull thing sometimes.

  • this person ought to make some money off this, no doubt, but it would break the backs of the oil tycoons if he offered it to all to make at home and put and end to the greedy one's responsible for raising fuel prices, which makes everything else go up. Imported fuel=greedy rich people. Exported work=greedy rich people! 3c

  • Are you straight outta Htown?

    3c

  • Daniel Tingel was the first invented this technology...

  • Wo is he and is this for real I wonder after reading the comments.

    3c

  • Why isn't this our top priority?

  • Because it doens't actually work.

  • daniel tingel- the first who invented the water car..!!

  • I think coolest thing about this would be...if you get a big enough alternator to provide the electrolysis "in-car" you would never run out of fuel!

    So what if it has less power per lb. than gasoline?

  • THEY ARE GOING TO KILL HIM!

  • yes... IF he keep the technology a secret. Because then through his death its still a secret. If he outs the technology then they can't kill him to keep it silent, the cat would already be out of the bag.

  • its the corrupt US goverment that will not let this thing off the ground

  • wonder how much power it takes to break down the water.... lol thermodynamics

  • lol thermodynamics? really?

    hmm...if he gets 100 miles from FOUR OUNCES on his water/gas hybrid (using exclusively water), then i guess it can't be that much, huh?

  • it takes energy to break down the water. By the basic laws of thermodynaics, it will take him more energy to breakdown the water then to reassmble it in "his" reaction. Basically, I bet he has a pretty high home energy bill....

  • seriously, it's not hard to make an oxygen or hydrogen generator. it's hard to make a SAFE one, maybe, but water is pretty easy to break down.

    taking into account that (1) his water/gasoline hybrid running EXCLUSIVELY on water went 100 miles on four ounces and (2) the electrolysis is done in the car, i would guess that it's safe to say that the electrolysis process isn't that much of a power consumer.

  • "electrolysis process isn't that much of a power consumer"...you would be wrong. The electrolysis process has a theoretical limit of about 80%. The practical efficiency with today's technology is about 40%.

  • From what you and everyone else knows... He says he uses a "very unique" process.

  • wow...
