How much would these cost? I know it probably says somewhere on the site, but I don't want to search for it.needled24-7
I was wondering this too.
But the video in the site shows that it goes pretty fast. Hopefully this will solve the whole oil ordeal.

they sell the designs here for $25, so you could create your own

There is a danger in this engine scenario: hydrogen is highly explosive.
In other news, the Laws of Thermodynamics are now known as the Optional Guidelines of Thermodynamics.

19th century scientists were a bunch of fascists.

Unlike our modern scientists, who are a bunch of socialists :P.
I hope the cars they make are better than the website they made...:?spazzx625Yea :lol: i'm no website designer but I bet I could make a better one.
Industry has always been about the most profitable as well as cost effective product, not which is best for the environment. Just because you could build something high tech or state of the art doesn't mean you will. It's common practice to keep something up your sleeve for the future. As long as the current product is still in demand and profitable you keep that ace or aces up your sleeve until you need them.
Like Cell Phones, PCs, MP3 Players, TVs, video game consoles and every other mainstream technology. They will only make it is as high tech as it needs to be.

And Kevin Costner will star in it...
And that is when I will have lived too long...who else expects the price of water to increase?i mean like your hydro bills and like buying bottled water.

:lol:
Isn't that basically just hydrogen fuel cell technology? You get energy from combining hydrodgen and oxygen into water, which I have to assume is what they mean. Otherwise they are completely full of it, because it takes energy input to sepearate the elements in a water molecule, which is part of why water is so chemically stable. It doesn't yield energy. That's like Chemistry 101...SpaceMoose
Actually, it does yield some sort of energy if bombared with high frequency radio waves. I believe its enough to power a car. All you need is a car battery and a radio wave generator, and you have something.

Does it yield more energy than the energy of the high frequency radio waves themselves? I don't see how it could, unless I'm missing something here.

Yeah, I've seen this scam before (on the craigslist Science and Math forum); they apparently assume some magical energy-free EM source :)Hyrdogen is highly explosive though.Blitz_Nemesis
There's another highly explosive chemical as well - it's called gasoline, perhaps you've heard of it. :P
Anyway, you're never going to be able to split water into hydrogen and oxygen without it taking more energy to do so than is given off by burning the hydrogen. That means that any car that does this is going to need an external energy input that makes it able to perform the electrolysis. It's for this reason that any scientist worth his salt believes that hydrogen must be coupled with some kind of electrical generator (usually given as nuclear power, although with the advent of those solar panels capable of storing energy, that could be an option too) in order to be viable.

That's where the optional part of Thermodynamics kicks in. If you choose to ignore the energy input and only focus on the energy output... you've got yourself one heck of an engine.
