Car that run off water?

Question

I beleive i know how to make a car run off of water it very simple to do. but would i be able to get a Pation on it. that if the gas compony dont put a hit on me. what you think my chanced would be

Answer 1

First you want a patent, not General Patton.

Second, you can make a car that runs off of water there are two ways.  The first way is to use electrolysis to separate the oxygen and the hydrogen and burn the hydrogen.  The second way is to create a fusion reaction, like the one that powers our sun.

Separating hydrogen from water is more expensive and requires more power than the potential of any energy produced by burning that hydrogen.  With current methods we are using coal burning power plants (the most polluting sources of power) to create a little hydrogen.  So we are creating twice the pollution to reduce some car pollution.  The equation doesn't work.  Nor will your car I bet.

The gas companies won't put on hit on you because if you find a way to burn water then you will still need a distribution system to package, transport and sell the burnable water.  The gas companies are set up to do all of of this so they would just change over to selling your burning water.

Now if you can handle a stable fusion reaction then we need to talk.

Answer 2

DO YOU BELIEVE OR DO YOU KNOW HOW  TO SEPARATE THE HYDROGEN OUT OF WATER, I BELIEVE NOT! SEARCH THE PAT TEND DATA BASE.

Answer 3

You will not be able to get a patent on it because patents are only issued to workable inventions.  You cannot use water as a fuel, so this is simply not possible and you will not be granted a patent.

Answer 4

Judging by your degree of understanding of the English language, I seriously doubt your ability to understand complex chemical equations.

Based on my conclusion, I think that your odds of patenting the already patented model for a hydrogen fueled engine are fairly slim.

My condolences.

Answer 5

Theres already an invention that allows cars to run off of water. Salt water actually. Even if you had the greatest of the brilliant ideas the oil companies and the government wont allow it. First of all the oil companies like exxon, chevron, shell, wall mart and more are making millions. The only time theyll listen is when the earth is almost gone due to pollution and or we run out of fuels. To look at this salt water powered engine look up saltwater engine on youtube. Then you will see it is possible. Good luck with your invention. And if you care enough about our enviorment and global warning you wont fail.

Answer 6

Many people have thought of the water car.  You're about the 13 millionth person to do so.  Water can be turned into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis.  And yes that could be done via solar power or wind power.  However the rate that it would be converted would probably not be fast enough to compare to even a solar powered car.  However, say had your house totally equipped with solar panels and had it producing oxygen and hydrogen all day from water that might be enough to fill the car up with enough hydrogen to run the car for a descent trip and you could possibly add solar panels to the car to help reconvert some of that water back into hydrogen and oxygen.  

As the other person mentioned there are two ways to change use hydrogen for power.  One way is to combust it as they mention.  The other way isn't fusion.  The other way is called a hydrogen fuel cell.

As far as the hydrogen car goes, you've already been beaten to the punch.  Pretty much every major car maker in the world is already working on one.  Some are working on combustible hydrogen engines that are more easy to make.  While others such as GM and Chrysler are working on hydrogen fuel cell cars which could revolutionize the entire concept of the car as we know it today.

Answer 7

Essentially the way that you do this is you use a process called electrolysis to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in water.

Currently available equipment that you can buy off the shelf requires approximately 50 kilowatt hours of electricity  to produce an amount of hydrogen with the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline.

The Hydrogen Car Company converts existing internal combustion engines to run on hydrogen. You can have them convert your car to run on hydrogen or you can buy a car that has been converted to run on hydrogen from them.

This is much cheaper than using a fuel cell, which will cost you over $100,000 for the smallest fuel cell to operate a very small economy car to over $200,000 for a fuel cell large enough to operate a mid size sedan

,

Ford Motor Company has a fleet of 12 passenger buses buses with 6.8L internal combustion engines that have been converted to run on hydrogen in operation around the country to test the performance of internal combustion engines that have been converted to run on hydrogen.

Ford says they expect to matket vehicles with internal combustion engines designed to run on hydrogen in about five years.

If the electricity that you use for electrolysis is produced by wind power, then you have no carbon dioxide pollution.

The production of electricity by windpower curently costs approximately 4 cents per kilowatt hour. Your cost of production of an amount of hydrogen with the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline is approximately two dollars, which is competitive with the cost of gasoline.

If you use solar photovoltaic cells to produce the electricity, the cost is approximately 10 times higher.
