Very Interesting. Engine running on Water. My cousen told me that his cousen did it!

I couldn't believe it! He insisted though, that he saw the engine (from a regular car) running on water himself.

First the engine start with gasoline than it gets switched to water.

I am still reluctant to believe it though. Anybody seen anything like this?

If that is true, why don't we use this technology?

 

Sounds like a joke to me. The only way of doing it is with hydrogen fuel cells (eg. 2H2O > O2 + 2H2) and they aren't the sort of thing readily available to car users (although some buses in North America are experimenting with them).

 

Blah! it sound to me as a joke too I have never seen any thing like this "engine running on water " LOL

 

its a boat

 

Water won't vaporize and explode....def. a joke...

 

I don't remember details, but there was an inventor (or was it a small company) in Australia that came up with engine that runs on water 2 or 3 decades ago. It was suppressed by oil corporations. There is a few books about it

 

I spoke today with guy that made the engine run on water.
He said it didn't run 100% on water, but you could save at least 30% on gas.
Also he used just for experimental purposes a patent from somebody in America. So there is a patent in America about this and the now he is in jail. Othere people who have done something in this direction have died ....... I don't know if that is true or not, but that's what i was told.
Also the OIL companies will get a BIG HIT in the pocket if something like this is implemented. We are talking billions and billions of loses (for them) for years to come. - The public benefit will be tremendous though.
- Hopefully one day we won't pay that much for energy as we do now.

 

So what gas do the water react with and what is the end product(gas)?

I think it's bullshit.

 

Well alot of people i know run diesels and simply mix the fuel with cooking oil, which is likely to reduce the cost also by at least 30%.

Wonder if i'll get killed by enron for sharing this?

 

You're entitled to your thinking. I don't believe that the government will go after inventors too.
But I DO remember watching a guy on TV who found A LOT of water in Nevada. (He wanted to be paid of course). So the guy BTW complained that a lot of "spy bugs" were "planted" in his house. He even showed some of them.
In other words:
I saw this on TV myself, you could title it bulshit too. And I don't care.
Economical or whatever they call it nicely, espionage is out there. Believe it or not.

 

Here's a story on this. - I found it on some video site (can't remember where) I blogged out it the other day. It has a video too - from an actual news broadcast. Not sure -how- this thing works, but if it does, its amazing

The guy says the government and military are working with him on it right now. Of course, I'm not sure if its verifiable, but the demonstration is very interesting.

 

I think the old steam boats got their name from somewhere. Steam = water, no?

Water we need though and I don't want people to waste all my drinking juice on their Porsche 911s that get 3mpg.

You want to do the world a favor, make magnetic engines. These things can be recharged after they wear down and are as clean as possible.

But the quote gives me jeebes. I think people will kill for money, that is a proven fact so you did not hear the magnetic stuff from me.

 

I smell B.S.

 

Well, most times, such engines have appeared to be just, nothing.

Maybe because the second law of thermodynamics denies the possibility of any device producing more energy than is put into it.

Sure, it's interesting, but why not answer my two questions?

Edit: Are we speaking about Browns patent that was issued in 1977?

 

Thanks for the link lorien. Really impressive.
I contacted another friend of mine today to talke about this. He says the technology is really simple, and he knows inventor who makes the engine run on water, but he puts some chemical in it. Very hard to believe, but who am I to tell it is impossible?

 

The problem with his method is that to get hydrogen and oxygen out of water, you need to put in enough energy to break the stable water bond, and force a conversion to hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolysis does this by converting electrical energy into chemical energy (2 x H20 + energy -> 2 x H2 + 02).

This is kinda perpetual. It doesn't work according to the physical laws of nature.

 

Uh. Required a heat source to make the steam, obviously. Not the same thing. Steamboats just burned coal to evaporate water to move pistons. Something like that.

Not really perpetual. There has to be some chemical reaction that separates the hydrogen and oxygen. If the reaction takes less energy than the new hydrogen/oxygen mixture produces, its not really perpetual, just an exothermic chemical reaction, right?

EDIT - I did find it VERY curious in the video that the guy said, while his engine could run totally on water, he currently has it set up as a gas/water hybrid. Tells me its not quite what its cracked up to be.

 

The problem is that the water would have to contain more chemical energy before it was split, and less chemical energy after it was burned and recombined.

Then there is the loss to heat.

This is basically a way to convert your combustion engine into an electric car.

 

I have heard of a method of adding an extremely small amount of water via atomization at the carburator, that can increase gasoline mileage drastically. Seems the additional compression produced by the vaporization of the mist results in increased horsepower. Never actually seen it done though.
