water powered
Now dont get me wrong i love my internal combustion gas engine but.......This runs on every day water.
This is from 92 i think. The Creator of this actually ended up dying mysteriously. hmmm
I know the gas companies would not be too happy about this technology advancing and I'm guessing the government wouldn't be to happy either because the ridiculous amount of tax the probably collect from the sale of gasoline.

There's no news because someone looked at the plans and realized that it doesn't actually WORK. It isn't viable or someone else would have done it... MYTH. VAPOR. UNICORN.

A cnet commercial I hear on internet radio said that somebody developed a nuclear powered car.

It's not exactly a hoax, you can use electrolysis to separate H and O, and burn the H as fuel.
The second part of the description though, is impossible, you cannot reconstitute the components back into water for less energy than you spent creating them.
National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) says it costs about $5.50 to create 1 gallon gasoline equivalent of Hydrogen...so if gas stabilizes above $6.00 / gal, then you will likely see a lot of small electrolysis plants starting up and hydrogen converted engines may become cost effective.
Mass production of H though, is tough without excess affordable electricity in the grid. Only France to my knowledge has enough spare electricity to make it practical to have hydrogen powered vehicles.
