Converting water to powerful hydrogen fuel called HHO
Does water really work for fuel ? I can't see how this would work.

no.
but there are plenty of people out there that will tell you how to make it work for only $49.95. "Theodore Gasper" > wrote in message ... > Does water really work for fuel ? I can't see how this would work. > |

Under some conditions, say not found in an automotive engine, water will break down into oxygen and hydrogen. Aint gonna happen at anything resembling temperatures in an IC engine. You can also dump ordinary sodium hydroxide in water and aluminum and get hydrogen. Somewhat expensive. You can also electrolyze water to oxy and hydrogen, but the trick is to use less energy than you get when you combine them again. Aint gonna happen either. There are catalysts that can break steam and produce hydrogen at reasonable temperatures. The trick there is again the efficiency problem, you use more energy than you can get back.

Yea. It's called a steam engine.

It takes energy to make energy and we have yet to find a stockpile of dilithium crystals ;^) We've accepted since the dawn of mankind is a great amount of inefficiency because we've historically had an overabundance of resources -- or so we thought. The key to sustainability is to harness as much energy we can from a renewable resource (ie hydro, wind, solar, etc) to offset as much inefficiency, and working toward better efficiency. Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do in a vehicle besides drafting behind a semi. The concept of fuel cells is good, but the total cost of ownership isn't a lot less than a IC vehicle when you take everything into consideration. |
