Dood, if I knew the answers, I'd be the one making it. You're asking about secrets.

Burning_Monkey has a point there. Call me pessimist, but I just don't believe that scientists who have been developing nuclear fusion for years, wouldn't have thought of that before. Will I say it... hmm.. no.. yes...better not... ok, I will!!! On that Fox26 video they tell that us government has started to develop that technic for...of course...military vehicles!!! Come on!!! Why is it always first thing in their mind? There might be a solution to world's energy problems but fuckers want a watergoing HMMV to get cheaper wars.

Brown's Gas.  But the reaction and/or it's byproducts aren't the issue.  It's extracting the relevant components from water which is.

EDIT: So if water is the byproduct, then how can it be the original material?

EDIT: That would make it a perpetual motion device, wouldn't it?

EDIT: I'm going to literally piss my self laughing if it does turn out to be a fraud and the US government really did give him a contract to build hummers using it
The point is that the machine seperates the water and then reforms it, uses it for combustion, and voi la, byproduct.

Well thanks for letting everyone know Nuttah, my name is John. And I'm honest.

The other point is to get off fossil fuels.

Yes, this stuff does indeed sound like the shit. I just want to know where the statement was made--where, someone here claims--that "it's a fuel additive".

Actually if you Google hydrogen engines you will find that people have been making internal combustion engines run on water since the late 50's early 60's.

Making it work is easy, making it economical is the trick.

water is 2 (H)ydrogen atoms and 1 (0)xygen atom (H20), they charge it and break up the ionic bond between the atoms and then you have hydrogen (the fuel) and oxygen (the ...well...oxidant), the problem I see is the amount of BTU's you can get per the amount of energy spent breaking up the water molecules, which can be significant, what makes me skeptical of this site is the lack of figures and formulas, I am...."in the industry" for lack of a better term (I produce synthetic natural gas for the USAF) and would be interested as to in the efficiency of there product


for the younger readers out there that may not know, the "Hindenburg" was filled with Hydrogen

Man, what's with all the bogus "alternative" energy sources all of a sudden?  If there's no net energy gain, it's not a friggin' energy source!  End of story!  I blame The Matrix.

BTW, the bond between the hydrogen and oxygen in water is covalent, not ionic.

maybe its the oil giant suppressing these up and coming technologies so they can gain until everything dries up.

Hydrogen from water can be used as an energy carrier, but water can't be used as a fuel.  As Burning_Monkey said, this process would use more energy than it generates, and would require energy input from other sources to work.  The efficiency of going from water to hydrogen/oxygen and back to water is less than 100% as dictated by thermo.

is it a covalent bond? Hell it's been years, I can't remember

edit: oh someone told me it's something called a polar H bond, with a twist of lymon

Massage. Also, they make some pretty hot chicks over there too.
Yup i once had a scandanavian housemate at uni..... her and her chums were delicious

I swear there is a factory in scandanavia somewhere that produces hot, dirty, large-breasted, tight-arsed girls....

AND... I want to visit in a willie wonka-style tour!!!
Hi Man.

These girls you can just come and have.. if you can. I prefer latinos anyway, or from someother continent.. cuz some of this great looking girls are quite stupid, hence why they look good? LOL!

Good Luck.

I say he was smart to patent his ideas, other scientists have developt sumthing like this then large oil companies bought the patent! its all about marketing, later in the future they might make us pay 5 dollars for a gallon of water...

Technically, (and the emphasis is on that word) you can make fuel from water. IF you managed to break apart the water (which is a lot harder than it sounds), you have a fuel (hydrogen) and an oxidant (oxygen). Just get yourself an ECE and you're good to go.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

well the most expansive way to do that is to make a magniusium fire at 5000 degrees C... add water and the fire gets larger... but extracting the hydrogen is the hard part

That's what I meant. You'd sooner blow yourself up than extract the two.

Well, plain water has been used as a fuel additive in race cars for years.

Taken from that website...

"For vehicle manufacturers, power suppliers, and anyone who burns large quantities of petroleum-based or natural gas fuels, Aquygen™ is a fuel additive that can significantly increase energy production and efficiency while decreasing polluting emissions. Unlike other alternative energy sources, Aquygen™ is an evolutionary technology that requires minimal modifications to existing systems to produce tremendous benefits."

It's all a load of bollox...

It's nothing new, and it's nothing useful.  What happens when you visit Aquygen on wikipedia?  You end up on the page about Brown's Gas.  Together with the reason why it isn't practical to run cars from.
