So there's this car, that runs on water.

I dont exactly know what to make of this

I don't think passing a household current through water will produce enough amount of hydrogen to effectively run a hydrogen powered car.... for day..
I'm a chem undergrad, I know this stuff. If it was the easy it would of honestly been done. To efficiently produce hydrogen, collect, store, and distribute is not an easy or affordable procedure..

Household current is a fuckload of energy last time I checked. Go put your finger in a socket and see how it compares to holding both terminals of a car battery.
Please, really, I'd love to see this clandestine truth about being able to separate water and burn the hydrogen products. But theres this nasty thing about free energy that keeps getting in the way, someone please cage it for us all?

I guess, but the electrolysis of water of only takes about 1.5V or something but it is not a speedy process. The problem arises then to prevent the water from heating up and boiling, decreasing efficiency. A super high voltage through water that is kept at a constant low temp will produce the highest yield. I don't know much about hydrogen and hydrolysis but its not as easy as it sounds.

Yeah, but to produce enough hydrogen to burn at the rate of an engine, you would need a shitload of power. You can separate the substance using minimal voltage, no question, its just the scale that you'd have to be doing it at. Really, when i first ran across this a year ago it intrigued me, so I looked deeper, but at the end of the road there are unanswered questions and highly suspicious 'science'.

I just drive the hummer, pure diesel is all that baby needs. problem solved.

well it would be sick to drive a big fuckin truck, but it would just be fuck loads cheaper... but i guess if you can afford a hummer you can pretty much afford the gas too, so whatever... fuck bitches get money free tibet no grapes.

We did the experiment in grade 10 science class. Yes it is enough, and it HAS been done. Its not cheap, and you have to have a way to store/burn it.

Well consider Thomas Savery invented the steam engine in 1698 so we've had this idea for about 300 years, now we can just use it in a car without coal.

Totally diffferent bro - steam power is pressurized steam which drives a turbine. This is the burning of hydrogen gas obtained from the electrolysis of water.
They have official hydrogen powered cars, they're just not so popular with the big boys in power, because they get their power from Oil
