run car on water
I was wondering if anyone has got that "run your car on water" thing? has anyone gotten it and had it sucessfully work? If anyone has tried and had it not work, what went wrong or why is it bad?
Yes, that "run your car on water" thing does really work. But it will not save you any money by using it. It takes more energy to make the hydrogen than you get back. But some clever scammers out there will give you a partial truth just to suck you in…
They tell you how their system takes water and generates HHO gas and uses that hydrogen in your engine as a form of fuel. Sounds good. Free energy from that hydrogen. But…
You have to consider the costs, too. In order to make the HHO, your car battery has to power a "generator", that electrolyzes the stuff. And you have to use an electrolyte, that allows the process to take place. The cost of the electrolyzer and the energy from the battery are more costly than the benefit from the hydrogen gas they make. And you have to actually purchase the system, or at least the parts to build one of your own.
There are people out there who want SO BADLY to believe it works, that they will tell you all about the savings. But they will be just as careful not to tell you of the costs.
I am all for the hydrogen economy. But not for scams like this. I like hydrogen because it can be made from things like wind farms and waterfalls, where you can justify using 1000 Watts just to make 800, because the carbon footprint is small. That being said…
"Water for gas HHO" works, but it is not a money-saving breakthrough.
If you remember nothing else, remember just this:
Per liter, water has 0 W-hr of energy in it. Hydrogen has 3 W-hr @ STP. Conversely, gasoline has 9,700W-hr. Which one do you want for fuel??
