I hope they hurry up with this... The water powered car has been around in one form or another since the 70s and not much progress yet.
Yet another example of a great idea that nobody can get to work.
Atomic filter seperates the hydrogen and oxygen, hydrogen is burned as fuel, car burps out pure oxygen out of its tail pipe.
In the 80s, I don't remember if it was Pop Sci or Pop Mech, but there was a piece on how it was going, and they had a big breakthrough when they had a test car that weighed almost four thousand pounds drive I think it was like 30 or 40 feet on several hundred gallons of water. In the 90s, there was a few more quiet victories. The atomic seperation equipment was made considerably lighter and better, which would allow for cars in the 1000 pound range.
If somebody would just dump a few million or even a few billion dollars in to this project, I bet it could be refined in the space of just a few years. I know I would like to see it work.
And speaking of water powered cars, I think steam might make a bit of a comeback. I was reading not to long ago how some student from one of those big colleges, might have been MIT or Mellon, made a steam engine that could run on average 100 miles per gallon on biofuel. Biofuel powers a small engine, which powers a small copper wire wrapped motor, which produces electricity, which in turn runs a boiler. Along with coasting and a flywheel mechanism that I fail to understand, the motor uses electricity to keep the water boiling.
I feel as though we have been on the brink of something great and something has held us back.
I know somebody that just converted their old 60s model VW microbus to a biodiesel. They get 80 to 90 mpg now that the engine is burned in. Reeks like french fries.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
