It's done by filling the gas tank, or custom build tank, with regular H20 and running it into a presureized metal, or PCV piping. When the correct voltage is run through a series of pipes inside the "Tube" it seperates the water(H20 into the seperate components. This "Gas" is then released from the presurized "Tube" into the intake, of the car, and is drawn in by the natural vacume of the car. Inside the engine, the gases are compresed, ignited, and dispeled the same as a normal engine would. Any guesses as to the byproduct of burning hydrogen and oxygen together? Yep, water.

So, you've now got a car that breathes in gas(Hydrogen and Oxygen) and breathes out unburnt Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Water. During the combustion some of the gases re-form into water, but most don't.

So when i say water car, you start with water in the tank, and end up with water(some) coming out your exauhst. The downfall, you rust out the stock system in a month or two if you don't take the right steps. I'm going to turn a boat motor into a water powered motor. Nothing like running out of gas on the lake, and just dumping some lake water into your tank. :-D

Any more skeptics?

Ok, I have a feeling the last post would come back to haunt me, so here's my proof.

Spirit of Maat is a weird, however VERY knowledgable site. Have a way to get an almost never-ending power suply from one 12 volt battery. I can't remember how it worked, but i'll be looking that up sometime, to see if i can use it in any way, shape, or form.
And the pressure and electricity needed for this process come from where exactly?

Here's a nice reality check for you hydrogen power people:

The opening line of the article pretty much sums up the article:

Funny thing about hydrogen cars: If we were all driving them now, the President's FreedomCAR initiative would be anteing up its $1.8 billion to invent the gasoline engine.
