Modern Water Fueled Cars

What Is a Water Fueled Car?

Water fueled cars are one of the byproducts of the race to bring to the market vehicles using stored onboard hydrogen as fuel. Using hydrogen as fuel is one of, and perhaps best, the solutions presented by NASA's effort to develop alternative fuel sources beginning back in the 1960s. Using hydrogen gas in conjunction with an oxidizer, like a oxygen or nitrous oxide, produces incredible motive energy. In addition to the incredible energy produced, emissions are brought down to zero. It both is produced from and returns to water, meaning that we could never run out of it even if we tried. It is easy to see that if we could harness the power safely, it would be the solution we've all been looking for too many of the great ecological dangers we face today.

Water fueled cars are often thought a hoax. Indeed there's enough precedent for it if you look back at the history of the concept. We're going to describe some of the challenges of bringing water fueled cars into production all over the world, and explain the theory and practice behind the current, modern water fueled cars that run on the streets of cities all over the world. Yes they do exist, although probably not the way you think.

When knowing how hydrogen is produced, through the electrolysis of water, the challenges of and inspirations for water powered cars can be easily understood. When realizing how much motive force can be attained using hydrogen and oxygen and the incredible benefits of zero greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with the dangers of using high-pressure hydrogen storage in a vehicle, a water fueled car becomes an inspirational idea. If it were possible we could change the world tomorrow and never fear global warming again.

The rub comes when hydrogen is both produced and used by the same powerplant. Unfortunately, thanks to those pesky laws of thermodynamics, it takes similar amounts of energy to separate hydrogen and oxygen as is produced when it's recombined. There's very little more to it than, you can't really produce and use hydrogen in the same engine. It's too bad, but stored onboard hydrogen as fuel, with all the safety, development and infrastructure challenges that that comes with is the only solution for the future.

But that's not the end of the story. In the development process of water fueled car, one intermediate step was the use of a hybridized engine that utilized both hydrogen and oxygen from electrolysis and regular gasoline or diesel. This engine design produced incredible increases in engine efficiency. Far more than could be explained by current efficiency models of the internal combustion engine. These results caused some manufacturers to jump the gun and announced to the world that they could build a water fueled car. One company even signed government contracts to produce Hummers for the Army. But it was not to be. As it turns out, the air used in modern engines which is the same as the air we breathe, consists mostly of nitrogen, an inert gas. There is just not enough oxygen in the air to properly burn the fuel we use today. When hydrogen and oxygen is piped into the engine in higher percentages fuel efficiency, power and responsiveness are all increased. The results can be more than a little dramatic. 76% on most vehicles, up to 200% on some, and even higher on vehicles that operate at higher altitudes where the air is thinner to begin with.

These modern, real water fueled cars would be more aptly named fuel enhanced cars. Technology is not complicated and it's available to everybody today. For less than 200 bucks a do-it-yourselfer can have this technology in less than a day's work. For everybody else, it's a little more expensive but well worth it. But be careful not every company is equal in the water fueled car world. You should expect to never be asked to modify or damage in any way any engine component. This means do not drill any holes in your engine or modify any parts. The electrolysis unit should sit next to your engine somewhere in the output should be piped directly into your existing air intake without ever needing a whole to be drill, or an engine component to be modified. There are companies out there that understand this necessity and will not risk voiding your warranty.
