Thread: So much for water fuel being a thing of the "future"....

  1. #1

    Thumbs up So much for water fuel being a thing of the "future"....

    Seeing something like this and immediately it smells like the oil-companies just pay people to keep their mouths shut about it so they can stay in business. Considering how effective that practice has been so far, and the yearly gains in profits, you can only imagine the money they're shelling out. Aside from the bitterness, two words come to mind: Freakin' AWESOME! As for the fact that the welding flame is only warm, is because of the amount of water in your body and virtually the only thing that heats up is the oil on your fingers.

    The biggest thing that scares me about using water as fuel is that the world already has a scarcity of water and it's not going to get any better.

    Do you know how dangerous a Hydrogen tank is?

    I wouldn't exactly sleep safely knowing a bomb was sitting in my garage.

    Would it have to run on pure water? Or could undrinkable water be used?

    I've seen how these cars just drip the water they've used onto the road. Then it gets evaporated and goes through the water cycle, which cleans the water and takes it far away.

    But I'd prefer solar to anything, really.

    IF this guy is not scamming the hell outta everyone, he is one intelligent dude. HHO is a oxyhydrogen and is abnormal and not so organic. He is either the chemist of the millennium, or this is an insane hoax. With today's society, I say the latter. Sorry to say, but I don't buy it just yet.

    ... If what he states in the video is true, saltwater will work just fine. IT would likely increase the amount of rain, mold, and insanity in the world.

    Considering that most of our world's covered in water, supply is hardly an issue. Desalination is a problem, but there are ways and means.

    Hydrogen fuel cells have been in use since the early years of the space age... the moon landings, even, used cells as a power source. If we'd spent the last forty years developing this technology, it'd be practical, safe and widespread by now. However, thanks to the glory of petroleum, there was absolutely no financial incentive for development. Because of money, we're decades behind where we should be, facing fuel supply crises and other issues as a direct result. Our species are such winners sometimes.

    I do agree with Big D.

    I'd wish they'd do more research and development to make this safe and feasible.

    And Btw, Hydrogen cars existed 10 years ago, so its hardly anything new.

    But let me tell you a hard fact.

    The electrolyse(seperation of hydrogen and oxygen, don't know the english word) takes up more energy than can be gained from recombining them in an Hydrogen fueled car.

    This means, my friends, that it is, like in the early stages of solar panels, a waste of time implimenting it now.

    Water we have enough, but weren't we trying to save energy?

    And yes, I know these things, I worked at the building in NY state where they research these cells.
