There have been others before to do this. I don’t know why it never takes off.  
Search for Stanley Meyer. He has patents for some technology to do this and there is a video of him running a car on water. But it seems that his scheme was a hoax. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water\_fuel\_cell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fuel_cell) :shrug:

Interesting idea that is a bit too easy to be true. As mentioned by the above. Parts of it make sense, though.

And they very well never be found. And to note the information from this video was from 2003.

I’m watching it at work without volume. Somebody want to summarize what was going on? Just hydrogen power or something?

the question is how long does it take to make the hh0 though, and HOW MUCH electricity does it take… any car can run off of hydrogen, storing and GETTING the hydrogen from water is a whole nother story

right, and what procces did he use to extract the hydrogen from the water? THATS the key, if he used tons of electricity to pull out that water, then the whole thing isn’t efficient, in otherwards its not hard to extract hh0 from h20, it just may take 20 days and hours of electricity to get one tank…

If it was viable today, i think he would of had an accident.

Bah. My Energy Systems professor explained it best: Hydrogen is not a power SOURCE. It is a method of power TRANSFER. :cjerk: It’s like electricity, not readily available anywhere so it’s only a method of storing and transferring energy. You can’t collect it, mine it, gather it. You can only put energy into it, then get that energy back later. It’s not like he just poured 4 oz of water into his car and drove 100 miles. He put 100 miles of energy into the water first.

Fry makes a great point.

What if Niagara falls could be used to make HHO?  
it may not be cheaper BUT, it could reduce the need for fossil fuels (because gravity is free).
