Question

Can water be used instead of petrol?

Answer 1

no... if you could then the fuel crisis would be over by now

Answer 2

Only if you seperate it into oxygen and hydrogen first. This would use more energy than than you would gain from burning the gas as a fuel.

Answer 3

No.. water cannot be petrol....

but water can be used as fuel, if you can do controlled fusion. you can generate hydrogen atoms from water molecules .

just by adding some acids making the water coductive and by electrolysis you can get hydrogen gas. use the hydrogen gas in fusion

research is going on controlled cold fusion. refer to journals related to that.

Answer 4

many are saying it can and even showing how . but i am skiddish . i would try on a vehicle it didnt matter if it messed up first to see . I wouldnt try on my only form of transportation that is for sure . or on a real nice car .

Answer 5

Sure and I have swamp land to sell you.

Answer 6

Yes! there are hydrogen generators which separate the oxygen from the hydrogen in water then sent it to your engine. I'm not sure how efficient they are, and I believe most are intended to mix with petrol for better fuel efficiency.

Thay range around $1000 so it may not be worth it, however you can always build your own if you're crafty.

Answer 7

Not for the same purpose, no.
