Water fuel .

This little engine has been retrofitted with a device that takes the waste heat from an engine and uses it to make hydrogen out of tap water. This thing works and the french are all over it. Makes you wonder if America is really the land of the free. http://jlnlabs.imars.com/bingofuel/pmcjlnen.htm

@walter0bz Your logic is flawed. This is what you're claiming in essence:

1) gasoline is spend to drive an engine

2) some of the engine's energy is taken to an alternator

3) alternator converts its input energy to electrical energy

4) electrical energy is used to split water bonds creating hydrogen (and oxygen)

5) the HHO gas is used to inject into the engine and exploded

Taking energy away, converting it a bunch of times and putting it back again, can *NOT* provide a gain ! ! !

@LakeErieFising No it does NOT work. The power source that feeds the electrolysis process is the gasoline. It is converted to heat by burning it, some of which is converted to the motion of the pistons, which is converted to the rotation of the axle. An alternator taxes that axle by converting some of that energy to electricity. That electricity is converted to hydrogen (by splitting water). That hydrogen is then again converted to heat.

Very roundabout and nothing but loss after loss.

Engine on water... Seen more and more lately. I'm just missing the power source here... Where do you produce hho? A mower has no alternator to provide electricity...?

Nice make tho.

@lowslowflyer77 I'm not the one that's failing to recognize science and the laws of nature. The judgement as to who is the one that does not know what he's talking about and the one that should be embarrassed, is left for others to decide. I'm not worried for a split second.

@a1mint you dont know what you are talking about you guys commenting ought to first read and think alittle before embarrasing yourselves..

@Mozart2Vienna Converting an energy form always incurs losses in the form of heat, so burning hydrogen produces less energy than it took to make it.

But I get your point. A $ worth of electricity has more energy than a $ worth of gasoline, I agree with that.

Using an electric motor would very much be smart.

Perhaps one way is to convert electricity to hydrogen, carry it in a storage tank, use a fuel cell to convert back to electricity and run an electric motor.

@a1mint

yes, it boils down to: the energy needed to split H2O is the same as is emitted when 2H combines with O.

However, the PRICE for energy in form of gasoline is higher than for that of electrical energy and water.

But than it would be smart to replace the combustion engine (4% output) with an e-motor(>>4% output) and use the electrical energy directly.

all this stuff is so silly,even a steam engine has to burn something to get heat to turn the water to steam.The truth is water alone cant burn ! Get over it ppl.

@pappapaps This is completely unrelated to the topic of "water as a fuel" (which is not possible of course).

But, ok, you can warm water from the heat of a car. Then what? You then have warm water.

If that water could boil one could run a mini steam turbine on it.

But I have not seen that done. Have you?
