The car than runs with water as a fuel.. Is it true?

Question

and when will it be on the market?

Answer 1

Seems unlikely.

What is the in the exhaust? More water?

Answer 2

I found this you can hook it up to your regular car it runs on half water and half gas. check it out

Answer 3

Maybe i think so i only saw it on a commercial but i think it works it said water vapor so if you you get information about it from a dealership and its not true then you can sue :p

Answer 4

I am 77 and have heard this garbage all my life. There has not been one that worked.

Answer 5

Nope not true.

There are ways to use water in fuel to improve efficiency and there are ways to make a fuel from water, but water itself does not have any energy content that we can access to drive the car.

So:

Add 1-3% of water as micro droplets into diesel fuel and it burns cleaner and produces more useful energy as a result, but the energy is from the diesel, not the water.

Convert the water to hydrogen and oxygen then burn these in your engine or better use them in a fuel cell to produce electricity to drive your car, but the energy came from the energy used to produce the hydrogen and oxygen, not the water (in this case energy put into the system, usually electricity, is a lot more than you get out).

Use the hydrogen in the water in a nuclear fusion reactor to create surplus energy to drive your car. In theory, but no such technology exists yet.

Put a tall tower on your car and place a tank on it, put a turbine at the bottom to drive your car and let the water run down a pipe to drive the turbine. (Do the sums, you need a BIG tank and a TALL tower if you intend to go more than a few metres. But again the energy is not so much in the water as in the energy you put in in lifting it into the tank.

So no, you cannot get energy out of water to power your car, not unless you put it in first from some other source, to do so would allow you to build perpetual motion machines and to create useful energy from where there is none: not going to happen.

Answer 6

No. There is no water fuel. Hydrogen is a possible fuel and is sometimes made by breaking the water molecule down into Hydrogen and Oxygen, then using the H2.

Answer 7

WES technology I saw on TV uses water to corrode metal very fast and deliver enough electricity to run a car at 50mile/hour. They say they ran the car at that speed about for one hour by supplying 1 liter (about 1/4 gallon) of water to it. It is not using water as a fuel. It is using it to corrode. The metal is the fuel. You need to replace the metal every 5 year according to them. It cost about $5000 / 5 years. It comes to about $83 per month. It may be a good alternative for those who don't want to burn oil by yourself or by electric companies. Water is not a fuel here. Isn't it great if we had such a thing? We still need energy to burn water.

Answer 8

Yea, a fuel cell car can split the hydrogen and oxygen and run off the hydrogen.  easily found on the internet

Answer 9

About two years ago saw story in Popular Mechanics about fuel cell that made electricity from water that could power a car. It must have worked because haven't seen anything about it again, and government put couple billion into alternative fuel car research right about time of article. It made the electricity by splitting the water. Don't know if fiction but detailed explanation was impressive.
