Why you cannot run your car on water - The HHO Myth

Why you cannot run your car on water. The HHO Myth

This video is not meant to entertain it is for information only. Maybe when I have some time ill make a more entertaining one.

A cars engine converts fuel into kinetic energy. Some of that kinetic energy goes into driving the wheels and some of it goes into driving the other components of the engine including the vehicles alternator.

The alternator spins and creates an electric field which charges that battery and powers all of the electrical components of the vehicle. This electric field varies in strength dependent on the load (amount of energy) required to power the all of the components. The higher the load the more the electric field will create resistance to the alternator spinning.

The energy needed to split 1 molecule of H2O is equal to the energy released when the hydrogen and oxygen molecules are ignited and recombined into H2O. This means that in a perfect world with a 100% efficient HHO generator 1 joule of energy applied to water will release 1 joule worth of HHO gas potential energy.

In order to apply this 1 joule of energy to the water your alternator has to generate it while being driven by your car's engine. This increases the load and magnetic field which increases the alternators resistance to spinning.

Again in a perfect world to compensate for the increased resistance your engine will have to supply the alternator with 1 extra joule of energy thus reducing the amount available to drive the wheels.

After all of this your HHO generator has generated 1 joule of potential energy in the form of HHO gas. This gas travels into the intake then into the cylinder where it is ignited and releases 1 joule of energy driving the piston downward and powering the engine.

To put the entire process in simple terms you have taken 1 joule of energy in the form of fossil fuel and converted into 1 joule of kinetic (running engine) then 1 joule of electric (alternator) then 1 joule of potential (HHO gas) then finally back into 1 joule of kinetic (HHO ignition).

The key concept to understand is that nowhere in this process was excess energy produced as it is only converted. Fossil fuels on the other hand enter the vehicle already in the form of potential energy when combined with the oxygen in the air. This means that energy is produced and can drive the wheels of the car.
The only way HHO could work is to generate it off of a different power source and then load it on the vehicle in gas form. However this would require large tanks of pressurized explosive gas/oxygen mixture. You would be driving a bomb.

Finally one great analogy to put the last nail in the coffin for HHO. In a perfect world you could power a light using a solar panel that is producing energy from the light itself. X joules in X joules out. BUT you cannot tap into the system to draw out extra energy as no excess is being created.

If HHO worked you could route the exhaust back to the water tank since burning HHO recombines the molecules into water. The car could then run forever on its own recycled water...come one guys you know theres a logical problem there.

[HHONOW]

BULLSHIT. AN ICE WILL RUN ON JUST WATER ALONE. AND, IT DOES NOT TAKE THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY QUOTED IN THIS VIDEO. IT ACTUALLY IS ONLY MILIAMPS !

STOP SPREADING LIES !!! EVER STUDIED IONS ?? EVER HEARD OF HERMAN ANDERSON? I SUGGEST YOU DO SOME FURTHER STUDY BEFORE PULLING OUT YOUR TEXTBOOK !

NO MYTH...... A CAR CAN BE RUN ON JUST WATER. IN FACT THE FIRST INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE RAN ON HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN ELECTROLYZED FROM WATER THEN IGNITED.

THERE IS A SECRET TO IT !

@HHONOW

A car can run on HHO obviously. The problem is you cannot use the power generated by burning HHO to split more water into HHO and to driver the wheels. That would mean you are getting more energy out than your are putting in....unless you think you are harnessing fusion you are wrong my simple minded friend.

[idj4ever]

Bullshit. I have had a tank installed on my 350 c.i. 1973 chevy van for 4 years now.

Running @ 6,500 ft. altitude on a carberator and regular gas. Average milage

is 17 MPG. At 1,000 ft. altitude it's pushing 20 MPG. Go study more dipshit.....

I LOVE THIS....I was hoping that more people would believe this guy, because I like to be the only one running my car and little trinkets in the field, with my HHO generator that I had installed by my friend. Cost me some money, but it was worth it. But please, don't believe me, because I don't want the whole world using this HHO, because THEN you IDIOTS, ALL water will be at $4.59 per gallon. That's the end result. But only I can have this technology.

Good vid, amazing what folks want to believe these days, and do not want to go and do any research for themselves. What makes it hard to believe for some is that yes you can run a car on electrolysed water (HHO), but you just can't keep it running and creating its own HHO.

Whoever posted this most work for a oil company.

[bronis5804]

Your not taking into account that the HHO increases the efficiency by burning the unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber hence the gain in power and fuel economy. All of the extra power and fuel economy comes from the unburnt fuel.

[MrBoleman]

I'm glad you straightened that out. I guess the same principles would apply to nuclear power.

[asouthwick01]

you know it could work if the stored energy in hho is greater than the energy used to split the water molecule

[earlybird1900]

It takes millions of years to create oil. It takes immense energy to locate and exploit an oil field. It takes enormous resources to refine it and it takes a vast logistics to get it to the consumer at a costly price. Can we call this efficiency? On the other hand water is the most ubiquitous element on the earth. You don't have to drill for it unless you're at a desert and even here you won’t need much for the energy required 1 gls = 1800 gls approx. Which is the more efficient option?

[shananagans5]

You mean all the physics humans have learned over the last 200 yrs is correct? Oh bummer. lol You do know there is an endless supply of conspiracy nuts that will fight you on this? Maybe there is a way to harness their energy to power a car. Now that would be sweet. lol Great vid but I see the conspiracy nuts are already giving it thumbs down.
