How to convert your car to run on water

[David]

Hey guys

I'm just letting you know about a new product I ordered yesterday, and
thought I'd let you know about it.

Run Your Car With Water Today - Double your gas mileage by running
your vehicle on a combination of water and gas. http://www.runyourcarwithwatertoday.com

It costs $49 to buy the document/plans, but hopefully I'll recover
that cost quickly with the gas saving. I haven't set it all up yet,
and I don't think it will save me 50% in gas, but I've read
independent sources and believe it's feasible to save around 10-20%.

I think the fact it's helping the environment by reducing emmissions,
spurred me into buying the product too.

Anyway, like I said, I thought I'd let you know, because I know a lot
of people are doing it tough with the increasing gas prices.

Have a good day,

Dave Tayler

Nice scam. But $50 is highway robbery. I've seen prices as low as $5.

If anyone is actually interested, free instructions can be found on the
interweb thingie.

Hi,

P.T. Barnum was right...

Why don't you send ME $25 and I'll tell you how to travel without using
any gas at all!

I think the only practical way you could truly run on water would be
to use electrolysis to isolate the hydrogen then feed it back to a
fuel cell to power an electric motor. Of course, the electricity
you'd need for the electrolysis would exceed the amount produced in
the process. Unless you had super high efficiency photo-voltaic cells
to use sunlight to power the electrolysis, you can't beat the basic
equation and produce more energy than you start with.

However, water injection can make a car more efficient. We used to
add water (or water/methanol mixture, ie. windshield antifreeze) mist
injection to the intake of racing corvairs to cool the air and
increase the charge density. Since the engines ran very hot and
pinged on the low-octane unleaded fuel available everywhere but at the
racetracks, it did seem to help, at least in reducing the pinging and
lowering the octance requirement to enable then to run on standard
pump octane.

This idea has been around for a long time; pretty sure the oil
companies bought up the original patents, which are probably expiring
by now.

Water injection has been demonstrated to improve both power delivery
and fuel economy, at least on carbureted engines. Something to do with
the resulting steam improving volumetric efficiency IIRC, also
improves fuel atomization and distribution.

Also cools the intake charge, always a good thing.

That said, an EFI car isn't gonna have the same fuel atomization
issues, the injectors do a pretty good job, and modern engines
typically have pretty good volumetric efficiency numbers stock.
Cooling the intake charge can offer a pretty decent boost, tho
depending on how poorly the OEM intake/airbox is designed. What's the
first thing that goes on a street racer? A cold-air intake (CAI), eh?

Write back and let us know how it works , Dave. I, at least, would
love to hear from someone who has tried this.

Oh, that old urban legend again. Shouldn't be any trouble at all for
you to prove that, since all patents are on file with the US Patent Office.

Naw, I'm older than that. This subject _way_ predates the personal
computer, the internet, and "urban legends". Seems like some of the
circle track guys were messing with water injection on their cars as
far back as the late '60s, and the oil companies have a long, cloudy
history of manipulating energy research spending. Ask the nuclear
power folks if you don't believe me.

Besides, I feel no need to "prove" anything. Way more fun to simply
assign blame; especially to the damned oil barons ;-)

Water injection isn't what the scam is about; it's about creating "free hydrogen
gas" to offset the fuel usage.

Basically; it takes more energy to get the gas than it generates... Why not just
add an electric motor to help the gas engine at times... oh,wait; that's been
done....

I love the people on the web that show pictures of tehir generators -- 6 glass
bottles duct taped together "I'm getting over 100mpg now" bullshit

You still sound like an old hippy lib. If this was a panacea the auto
manufacturers would have found ways around any patents and adapted the
technology by now.
