I do remember watching a program, panarama or something about xxxxx (damn, forgotten the name).

It's where they put energy into water, and get more energy out.

Apparently it was so dangerous & unstable when they were trying, lots of people died and labs blew-up.

So is it possible? Maybe. Close to production, not a chance.

If you get it working, Mr El Sheik will either put a bullet in your head or you'll be living somewhere on your own private island in the caymans.

Google is a wonderfull thing. There seems to be loads of people doing it but you still need normal fuel as well because the initial power needed to split the h20 into h2o2 is more than the power it creates so you suppliment this with petrol...... I think ......

anyways it looks like it's getting close to a viable production and unlike fuel cells which will still cost a bomb water for the time being at least is still pretty cheap.

You know who you need to ask: OllyK. That dude has all this stuff just floating around his head.

Imagine Beaker from the Muppets.

He could tell you all about it. He hides in NSR.

I have seen something similar on horizon. I think it has to do with Zero Point Energy. And some of the work that Tesla and Co did near the end of his life. Because usually you need shed loads of energy and expensive equipment to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. And these guys figured how to do it on the cheap, using the free energy that is just there.

Is that not Cold Fusion ? I think the idea is to create a room temperature fusion reaction resulting in energy being created without the need for a nuclear reaction. I think you use duterium(excuse spelling) and something else to split water to then use the resulting gases to create electricity. Im sure I can remember a programme on it.

They can run cars on water right now joking aside. But the oil companies won't let them. Let's face it if you were given 1 billion pound to shut up would you take it.

A water powered car is BS, you always need another source of energy and you cannot get more out than you put in.

Notice there is no indication of how the the water is broken down in to the alleged HHO gas, cracking water requires LOTS of energy which is why the so called hydrogen economy is a long way off.

See Water-fuelled car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for some basic debunking
