Running your car with water

[Surf01]

I wonder if this is genuine? See http://www.runyourcarwithwater.com/?hop=1goodchoic

[truckarms]

must be true its on the internet and has been on telly

join the ranks of the other "wonder" mod's

electric superchargers, £5 superchips, fuel line magnets, the turbonator etc etc

if it was that easy cars would be leaving the factories in theirs millions with this system fitted.

and anyway, would you admit to believing what you're told by a 1.5 inch tall woman with fat thighs?

The theory is sound

A few of the road trains down here in oz have a similar system fitted to supplement the high fuel costs. With fuel savings of about 20%

Never seen the system for cars only on trucks.

The Yankie webpage seems a bit dodgy though.

What about trucks (lorries) in the uk are they fitted with water systems

Its true, hydrogen can be used, but to get meaningful amounts you need expensive, potentially dangerous equipment. Water mist injection in order to cool charge temperatures on turbocharged vehicles has been around for years, but it seems to me that the claims being made on that site are HUGELY out of propotion with what you actually get!

Big difference between water injection to make the engine run cooler so you can run higher boost as used on trucks and generating hydrogen from water
yes its in there but stripping it at molecular level to 1 part hydrogen and 2 parts oxygen a whole different story. If it worked there is not one vehicle manufacturer who would not give their eye teeth for the rights.

My second gen ran on water for 2 weeks....

Lots of steam out the back thou and then i got a new cylinder head

Yes I know, I was insinuating that that is all you'll get for $60. Even that is very very cheap for water injection so unlikely to be even doing that properly.

How much do Aquamist's systems start at? About £400?

So, the panel's opinion is - Bullsh1t!

Yeh but we were discussing running your car on water not building web http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/ sites

Didn't somebody post some pics up on here a month or two ago regarding a hydro gen apparently on test in one of their vehicles? (Still taking it with a pinch of salt, personally).

[logey79]

salty water? why would you add salt, that sounds like it would just cause problems - you fool!

It was me.. and its still on test, well we have to build another one as we blew one up with too much gas and no blow off valve.. doh ! Its not salt that you add, its kH0 thats added as a catalyst

I did say that canister was just asking for trouble.
