Run your car on water

abetarrush

The plans to convert your car tor un on water are all over the web

Ar they feasable???

An amphibious car will run on water

we still haven't achieved sustained fusion with tritium never mind duterium and plain old hydrogen is even further away

an electric car could be said to run on water from hydroelectric but it only accounts for 2% of ESB

wha happened to the electric car??

that was killed to push oil sales

dozey bastards

This video has a little more info on the water powered car.

kippy

Its called a steam engine and has been done years ago

Seriously though, Its possible but not viable on a number of levels at the moment, economically, safety, etc.

Take the standard approach:

Until verified independantly, preferably through scientific peer review, no, they are not feasible.

The more I've read about this stuff, the scammier it seems.

Agreed, the joe cell is a good example, the stories told should be combined into a new book - Gullible's Travels.

They claim it uses 'orgone' energy, and is affected by the attitude of nearby people, only true believers can make it work as scepticism stops it dead(!), nice way to keep the myth going when debunked by scientists. It's like some of this new age medicine, if I advertised my services as a witchdoctor there'd be customers, would be a great experiment but unlike others I couldn't do that to desperately ill people.

There are tons of these new age energy sites out there and there's always some excuse as to why it's not available ranging from "any day now" to visits from men in dark suits. They're good for a laugh but that's about it.

If any of these free energy schemes worked economicaly they would be utilised commercially.

Solar panels and wind turbines can provide "free energy" today almost anywhere on the planet. The problems are capital cost, size, maintainance costs, interrruption of supply ( but's that can be solved by a grid). And yet we still burn fossil fuel as it's cheaper and more steady. The same problems apply to alternative energy, how much does it cost per kilowatt installed capacity, per kilowatt generated, what is the energy density as in how big is it.

In answer to the question posed by the OP, no, perpetual motion doesn't work. Vehicles will not run on water, ever.
