this is pretty sweet, lets mass market it now!

oh too bad all the auto manufactures are in bed with the Oil companies and slow down stuff like this from production.

Wow is this a spoof???

   

how much electricity does he use to split the hydrogen?

   

Now theres a good question.......kinda like ethonol(?)....they say that burns very clean.....yet it takes a whole lot of energy to produce it so it kinda evens it out in the big picture.

I still like the catalytic converter for small engines made by the Newfoundlander.....simple....cheap....effective.



Still.....4 ounces of water to travel 100 K's is pretty fucking good!

   

I think he actually said 100 MILES to 4 ounces. Thats a hell of a lot. From the sounds of it this may be a huge break through and have massive implications on society. Imagine the amount of jobs that will be lost from this.....which one would think might be offset a bit by jobs being created from this thing.

But little to no reliance on oil for your vehicle anymore.....what a dream, for most of the people anyways. Not for Alberta

   

Water-Powered Cars just around the corner (Sure they are)

   

Without having viewed the video, simple physics reminds one that the energy input would exceed the energy output. Ergo, time to move along

   

coverts water mixed through electric process.. not that much energy is required.. did you see the size of the generator... to create HHO gas rather than H20... Wow how revolutionary.... US Military is all over this by the way...

   

would be wonderful if it wasn't for winter. Sorry Jake, I won't be there 'til spring thaw.

   

Twister,

Even half-cut on a Thursday afternoon, I was able to figure out the process. What the question in my mind was BTUs in vs. BTUs out thing. Sort of why I wonder whether the ehtanol thing is energy efficient or not

   

I don't think the ethonal thing has ever been about increased efficiancy, it is about decreasing oil depandancy. You can use any energy source to refine the ethonal from corn, soybeans etc etc. I think now they are using coal as there is all kinds of coal in north america... ...but anyway, it is about freeing north America from OPEC and the like...

   

Even half-cut, I'm better versed than most in the ins and outs. The thing about ethanol is the energy input. Planting, fertilizer, tilling, etc. takes a lot of energy input. When compared about the energy reduction, I think it's a questionable gain. I'm seeing a great future in 1-horse-power vehicles.

   

As a follow-up, we can call them Harper Heaps. Bennett buggies is so Dirty-Thirties.

   

I agree. Using hydrogen to run vehicles doesn't create any energy source, even though some people seem to believe it does. It's just a workaround for the problem of battery weight in electric cars. Instead of heavy batteries, you use a whole lot of electricity to convert water into gasses, and then use them as fuel. But somewhere, someone will still be burning fossil fuels, running nuke plants, or whatever, to provide the electricity. Same with ethanol. I always thought of that as a way for politicians to pay meaningless lip service to the environment while making the farm lobby very happy.

One horsepower vehicles: definitely a plan.

   

Slow but reliable, good with children, good for the lawn.
