Run your car with water

Re: Run your car with water
I've heard about this. If it turns out to be a viable alternative, the oil companies will probably buy his plans, make him a multi-millionaire, and lock the plans up in a vault somewhere for ever. BTW, the program I saw had the inventor using salt water.

Can't be bought. The patents on water as fuel are 70 years old and are accessible to everyone. They are now public domain. Although I haven't seen a system in operation, I have heard of people running gas/water hybrids since the 70's that increases gas mileage at least 20% in some cases alot more. (Depending on how well the system is tweaked) I while ago I ran across a site that went through all the old patents, tested them, and then made a manual with pictures of how to build and install it/them, depending on how elaberate of a system that you want. I'm concidering making the investment in the manual to try out on my own vehichle. Here's the link that I ran across if your interested as well. http://www.runacaronwater.com/ |

Re: Run your car with water
I am always amazed at the people who buy into the conspiracy theories that the oil companies are keeping all of this amazing technology from us.
Don't you think that if something like this were viable that other huge companies, like car manufacturers, would be jumping on it? Car mfg.'s spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get more mpg and performance out of engines. The new CAFE requirments mean that beginning in 2012 the average mpg rating for car mfg.'s will rise 1 mpg per year until it hits something like 35mpg if memory servies me correctly. These wild schemes to increase gas mileage have been around forever. Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines used to be filled with ads trying to get you to just spent a few bucks to double your gas mileage, etc. I think the truth in avertising regulations put most of those guys out of business. Usually if one of these things does work to increase mpg it has a negative affect in that it destroys the engine or some other bad thing. |

The site you sent me to is talking about is something completely different. It sounds pretty interesting though, and it doesn't cost a whole lot to get started. I have saved that site and will be looking into it more. |

If what these people are saying is true, and this technology was patented back in the 70s, why hasn't it been implemented on a wide scale basis? Because the oil companies don't want you owning a car that gets 50+ miles to a gallon of gasoline especially when the price of oil was cheap. They'd rather you own an SUV that gets 14, so they can sell you more gasoline. One industry looks out for the other. The oil companies make sure that synthetic oil costs too much for the average person to use in their cars, thereby ensuring your car wears out faster so the automakers get to sell more cars. Then the automakers make sure their cars don't get the kind of fuel economy they could with the right kind of technology being used on a mass scale, thereby helping the oil companies to to sell more gasoline. They're busy scratching each other's backs. |

This reminds me of the story that I hear from virtually everyone: "I have a friend/uncle who had a friend/uncle who had some big 1971 <fill in the name of the car> boat that used to get 47 miles to the gallon! He took it in for service one and the technician said 'you had the wrong carb installed. We switched it for the correct one." at which point they started getting the 'normal' 17 mpg." I have traveled across the country and heard this near identical story in nearly every household. Fact: Water has no inherent energy in it. It is the product of hydrogen that has chemically burnt. Just as pure ash is the burnt product of wood (charcoal is only partially burnt.... so that is NOT an example of being able to 're-burn' something.) Fact #2: In some cases they CAN inject water into an engine to increase HP, but only when the engine is running extremely hot. The extra HP comes from the increased compression brought by the extra steam. The water isn't adding any extra heat to the process. Fact #3: Making hydrogen from water is VERY inefficient. Any talk of "browns gas" is just another throw back to sheisters who tried to patent their miracle inventions. Fact #4: Because something is patented means it is NOT viable. The patent office stopped taking applications for perpetual motion machines a few decades ago, but there are still many of them on file. Here is an excellent site on perpetual motion. Many good articles on 'browns gas'/hydrogen and '200 mph' carbs. http://www.phact.org/e/dennis4.html |

Re: Run your car with water
I've already checked these out. None is really as viable as it seems. To make enough H gas, you need to have a lot of surface area on your electrode for the hydrolysis process. I also don't know what the amperage needs are and what kind of load it would put on your alternator when splitting the H2O. :D

They're telling us that it's almost for certain that Gas
will be $5 in Calif. starting in July. It's already $5.16 in the desert areas and over $5 for diesel. As I stated on the other threads, the truck drivers are buying it on the black market out here |

http://www.runacaronwater.com/ Scroll down the page some. There are diagrams of the whole system and the whole nine yards. I can't quite figure out what they are using for the elements in the jar though. |
Re: Run your car with water
Funny thing is though, I can't find anyone on the web that makes and installs any of these hho devices. I would think one of these people who've bought the books would want to start a side business.
One guy who made a new kind of torch is working with the government to create a hho hummer. |

My brother-in-law is making one to try on his vehicle for about $30-$50. Once I see how his works I may give it a try. I'm still a little skeptical about it myself. |

I was taking to a car enthusiast today about hho in cars and he told that the car forums laugh about people being taken for their money. If it works though they can laugh at me all they want. :bliss |
