If there are H2o cars why are we still drilling for oil?

Question

WHY! is there not a car available to us... WTF government! :-/

its a fact that they are out there...

Water (H2O) Car Inventor was Murdered in 1998

Answer 1

Water can be used to fuel a car when used as a supplement to gasoline. In fact, very little water is needed! only one quart of water provides over 1800 gallons of HHO gas which can literally last for months and significantly increase your vehicle's fuel efficiently, improve emissions quality, and save you money.

Thousands of successful water-conversions around the world are proof that this technology works and will soon catch on! Some industry insiders say its just a matter of time before this water-burning technology will be standard in new automobiles. One expert estimates most cars will be using this technology by 2012.

Answer 2

My guess is the system is not yet commercially viable. I can not read Japanese, so I cna not look at the tech specs, but it did mention using platinum. Platinum is rather expensive depending on how much would be needed. Obviously the oil companies are not squashing this as the company has plans to proceed, and never mentioned oil company interference. Hopefully, once the technology is tested, we will see these cars on the road.

You do realize that the internal combustion engine has been around for about 100 years, and will not be replaced over night. It is currently the safest and most efficient means of producing energy. Hence the reason we use it to power just about everything (except nuclear, which has safety issues in a car).  

Answer 3

Some people don't want H2O cars.

Answer 4

I wonder what it must be like to live your life in a world filled with conspiracy theories.  It takes so little education to look past these and get on to more important stuff, such as real solutions to the problems at hand.  Schools are teaching way too much computer science and not enough history, real science, and mathematics.  

The water carburetor legend has been around for at least a hundred years.  The legend of the clever inventor killed off by the competition has been around since the ancient Greeks.  

Answer 5

the goverment has been bought by the oil companys

they are getting paid to supperess certain advances in science

thats why it took so long to make a non oil fuel vehical

every time someone makes one they ether go broke and are bought out by oil companys who destroy their creations. or if they dont want to sell they are killed off

Answer 6

The only way you could run on water, is to plug into an electrical DC outlet and electrolyze the wate to hydrogen and oxygen.  Thhen you would have to somehow store the H2 for future use.  It's not practical now. I doubt very much if it will ever be practical.

Answer 7

IF Hydrogen Cars or Water Powered cars can work ( I don't know enough about them to say if they do or not) Most people won't be able to accept the change due to the car being expensive to manufacture, and therefore not cost-effective, if this car cost as much as a normal car, looked like a normal car and worked as well as a normal car, then when gas prices get to high for anyone to bear (I say around...$8-$12), people may start getting this car.

No chance for it to start now, to late. But yes, the huge gas companies don't want competition, the government can't force you to buy a car so why are you blaming them?

Most of you people seem to want a Communism, one where all your idea's are enforced because its "Better"

Answer 8

The inventor is still alive.  I saw a video of him on this website.

http://www.water4fuel.cn/

I'm not sure if it really works.  It said the auto makers were working with him on a commercial version.

You can buy the plans and instructions to build one yourself on that website.

Let us know how it turns out.

Answer 9

Because water powered cars don't work (can't work in fact).

Answer 10

dont believe the c**p you hear about a water powered car. while there are those working on just such a car, it doesnt exist at this time, because there is no economical way to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in the water molecule, and while it can be done even today, you would need a much larger amount of hydrgen than you can get from a mere 20 gallons of water to power the car for any distance.

Answer 11

H2O might not be the best fuel for a car; however, liquid hydrogen that has been removed from the atmosphere and condensed into liquid form is an excellent source of fuel for cars. In fact, GM, Honda, and BMW have created purely hydrogen-fueled cars. The only disadvantage is the fact that hydrogen fueling stations are only found is the L.A. and San Francisco Bay areas. Liquid hydrogen is perfect because it's only exhaust is water vapor and the price to produce liquid hydrogen will continuously drop thanks to new technologies.

Hydrogen(H2) is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere. However, water(H2O) may become scarce in years to come. So, maybe water pure water that could otherwise be used for drinking may not be best suited to fuel a car.

Answer 12

because for the most part they don't work (yet).
