    It does not burn, but it gives more power. There was a water injection on a WWII tank (for boosting) , I 'll try to find it later.

    It will choke and will run rough. But try retarding the timing and placing the water again, it will not run rough. I think Castillio is not lying, you see there is a work around if you are can't be able to produce enough hydrogen to run an engine: you add steam or water. Water has the ability to return the same amount of force that you have given it. You can clearly see it by looking at the ram pump. The possible problem is rust and the water that might get into your crank case if your ring is not strong enough. I once tried to idle a carbed engine using the h2 + o2 from an electrolysis chamber for a few minutes until the plastic containers (reactors ) melted.
    I checked the engine oil afer a month and found out that water escaped through the rings and into the crank case mixing with oil. I stopped experimenting because I don't want my engine to break.

    You said it yourself. Water will not burn.

    If you inject it to your engine... it will just turn into steam due to the extreme heat. And when the combustion chamber compresses, the pressure buildup will be tremendous hence it will escape to the crank case & contaminate your oil.

    Hindi ba it's the gas/air mix ignites then it in turn superheats the water to steam whose expansion is what pushes the piston down?
    If the ring tension isn't enough to seal the higher(?) cylinder pressure from the steam then maybe porting the piston top to allow some of the cylinder pressure to push the rings out might help?

    Science fiction becomes science fact again, just like anti-matter & the magnetic bottle used to contain it.
    Maybe Gene Rodenberry was a seer?

    water powered car? yeah right! ever heard of the first law of thermodynamics? this is not a matter of "thinking out of the box". the laws of physics are not called "laws" because they are still theories, they have been proven and never been disproved. you just can't ignore it and not end up being labled a fool!

    the first law simply states that energy can never be created nor destroyed. it is finite. any so-called "invention" that tries to violate this law is called a "perpetual motion machine" because those are claimed to produce more energy than they consume, WHICH IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. 1+1 is always equal to 2, never greater.

    you'll have more luck trying to turn lead into gold than trying to do something "out of the box" when it comes to thermodynamics.
    YeBO...THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS OF THE ABILITY TO RUN A CAR ON WATER BUT THEY WILL NOT and WILL NEVER ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.

    Any updates on this?

    The main difference is Glen C claims his device will offset the use of diesel/gasoline in our engines which Daniel D claims his design replaces 100% of gasoline use in his test car.

    Ha!. from water powered car to astrophysics. What a creative bunch!. Bravo. Interesting discussion.

    Superluminal speeds (> light speed, actually 10X speed of light) has been observed on distant galaxies for years without any scientific explaination. I think our current know Laws of Physics is our limitation. There is no know mathematics to explain velocities > than speed of light!.

    On getting hydrogen and O2 from water using a 12v battery is definitely possible and most of us have done it in a secondary school lab!. The time to generate each gas and the amount is really the question. Hours just to get 1 litre of the gas. Thats probably enough just to start any engine and thats it!.

    Well, back to the drawing, some enterprising inventors ....go nano, thats a more promising field to be in.

    Here is a fact: Toshiba just figured out a way to charge Lithium ION battery in 1 minute to 10 mins. They used a nano electrode to increase the surface-area of the metal electrode to allow for superfast charging. 1 minute will charge 80% of the power and another 9 mins to charge the remaining 20%!!!. We all will want this on our cell-phones.

    But what is really compelling. Electric cars with 10 min charge will replace the Gas stations with Meralco Charging stations. Now, thats a scary thought!. Drive to the office and charge, drive to the mall and charge while you park. Thats a very nice future!.

    Actually its possible to produce enough hydrogen/oxygen gas (to run a small engine engine) from water by electrolysis if you can provide a big enough electrode surface area and enough electricity to run it.

    Some designs use hi-voltage/low-current while others use low-voltage/high-current. Some variations use power pulsing & ultrasonics to help remove bubbles from the electrode plates.

    To reduce electrode plate size, some use stacking the plates together (similar to how the plates are done in a typical car battery) either horizontally or vertically.

Another water-powered engine. Anybody knows Glenn Castillo?
