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.

July 4th, 2005 10:07 AM #43Hindi 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?

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.

August 24th, 2005 11:23 PM #48Ha!. 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.Last edited by ghosthunter; August 25th, 2005 at 04:08 PM.
