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/

I've thought about trying it with my Celebrity. I can't help but think that running water in a car will have a negative impact on the engines components over a period of time. My Celebrity is the only car I have that I would be willing to risk sacrificing for that sort of experiment.

Based on what I have researched, you are not actually running on water. The water (H2O) molecules are broken down into HHO gas. The engine is actually running on the Hydrogen along with gasoline, with steam and oxygen as the byproduct within the exhaust.

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.

That's what I think too.

Turns out this is different than what I was thinking it. I was thinking about a program I saw where a man has actually invented a way of making salt water burn. He's converted his Escort over to this new system he's designed and everything.

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.
