Car Powered By Water: 100 miles on 4 oz

While his unique electrolysis process – working simply with water and electricity – was originally designed to work in welding factories as a replacement for acetylene torches, a whole new application has come to light from Denny Klein, who recently filed a patent on his solution. He has converted his 1994 Ford Escort to run either as a water-gas hybrid, or on water alone.

While the tip of the welder is cool to the touch, the water-powered torch can burn through charcoal and get tungsten to "light up like a sparkler." But when it comes to powering a vehicle, this prototype could drive for 100 miles on only four ounces of water. Technically, the car isn't running on water, because the H20 is converted to HHO gas. This is said to provide the "atomic power of hydrogen", while maintaining the "chemical stability of water."

He has already attracted the attention of an unnamed American automaker, and Klein has been invited to the Washington to demonstrate his technology, with word that he is now working on a water-gasoline hybrid Hummer for US military.

uh oh, repost alert. better hope no one else sees this!

As a very wise Homer Simpson once said:
“In this house, we OBEY the laws of thermodynamics!”

Yep, repost, and I think I and others chimed in with opinions that debunked this guy's story. If it were that economical to crack water, we would have had more nuclear fusion experiments over the years. It takes a LOT of energy to break those bonds, HH rapidly becomes H2 under most any conditions, and with an O in the tank, it will oxidize the H2 in a violent manner very rapidly to H20. I call, as I did, BS on this.

To call the "repost alert"... you must first provide a link to the original post.

For your first infraction of the Repost alert system, we will only issue you a warning... however for the next infraction, you will be put on probation and will have to pay a fine.

That is all... have a nice day.

Does seniority trump rank? I dont think so...

H <---has lots of seniority but not much rank

It depends on if G|A? is unionized.

I look at it this way. GW may be president of the US, but his mom can still slap him upside the head at her leasure.

Heh... I doubt that.

You done fell off... and let others go around ya. There are people who been on the job 30 years who never got past being "clerical" or "kitchen help"...

Now, that being said... go get your "foodservice quality" latex gloves on and whip me up some curly fries.

If we are going with Navy ranks.. Then it's Rank before Age.

We have a Second Class that has been in the navy for 18 years, But since he is still a in relative terms "Lowly" Second Class.. He has no authority whatsoever. If he were to pick up speed and get to say Chief or Above, that would change. Laziness got him nowhere. Except he will recieve somewhat of a retirement check for the rest of his life because he didn't get kicked out.

So yeah, As the Secretary of the Navy, DF Wins this battle.
