How much would these cost? I know it probably says somewhere on the site, but I don't want to search for it.

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.

There is a danger in this engine scenario: hydrogen is highly explosive.

So they're using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and then burning it? They should just build electric cars instead.

Yes, they're called the first and second "RULE" of Thermodynamics but they're still only guidelines ^.^ you can follow them as you see fit.

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.

Hyrdogen is highly explosive though. if one of these cars happens to explode it would not only kill the driver but alot of people around them. plus imagine if alot of people were driving these and one explodes. chain reaction of explosion leading to the dead of thousands................but at least we'll save money on gas:P

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...

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 :)

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.

I watched the videos in that link and was impressed. I hope they come up with better designed cars if they do hit the market.
