What's funny is it's such a good idea... but it will never become a public option... That's what I hate about our government, a small company makes an idea like this and it will get shot down by our government... Even if it does catch on people will start *****in about us consuming to much water again like they use too.. The army at one point was going to start using water as new projecticles, it was on howstuffworks.com talking about how they where gunna use them in their machine guns and stuff

too many powerful people that would be financially effected by this technology if it catches on. so this guy will be paid off, and the plans will sit on a desk somewhere, or he will die in an "accident".

i am very well aware that they were on local news stations...... i cant say the same about John though.

For the car, what turns the H2O into H and O2? Mythbusters did a peice on wackjob alternative fuels and one item was a converter to extract hydrogen out of the water but it took electricity and a long time.


Same thing with the welder/gas converter thing. He said it takes water and electricity. Well how much electricity and how much time?

Ford played with that idea some fifty years ago, but it never got past this scale model mock-up. Since the Three Mile Island incident, and later the Chernobyl disaster, motorists have been cool to the idea of having nuke-powered cars.

If you thought throwing a rod was bad, I couldn't begin to imagine what having your own personal mini-meltdown would be like.

If there were a way to get more energy out of a given fuel source than it takes to make/acquire/produce that fuel source, we would know about it. Chemistry is not exactly voodoo magic. Even hydrogen fuel cells (one of the fuel alternative fuels that almost works) is stupid because we create more pollution and spend more money making the hydrogen in quantities needed for our massive private vehicle fleets than fossil fuels do and require.

There's a similar problem with some proposed biofuels. Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. But when used as fuel that CO2 gets released again. However some types of grasses trap the CO2 in their roots which wouldn't get pulled up if used for fuel.

Not only that, don't biofuels release more CO2 per mile travelled than petroleum fuels due to their lower energy produced in combustion, and the much lower AFRs needed with alcohol fuels?
