Question

Would it be possible to convert a car to somehow run on water instead of gas?

Answer 1

No.

The ones sold on the Internet are all scams.

The current batch of devices claim to work by using electrolysis to separate hydrogen gas from water then feed it into your intake manifold.  The rip-off is that an automotive electrical system does not produce enough electricity for the system to manufacture enough hydrogen to make any difference.

Stop and think about it.  If there were a device that really worked, the automobile manufacturers would be all over it.  If General Motors, for example, could put a device in their vehicles that would give them a fuel efficiency advantage over their competition, they would buy up the patents and have them in every vehicle they make.

They would not be sold on some obscure website by some person selling them out of their garage.

Answer 2

I don't think it is possible and if it was the greedy gas companies would manage to find a way to charge alot more than what it is worth.  You would find that a 6 oz bottle of water would be running you about $4.05

Answer 3

I doubt it - and if you did - no doubt you would be charged with tax evasion as those who run their vehicles on red diesel are!!

Answer 4

There are kits or instruction sold on the internet to convert your car. They will cost you for the download about 50.00, the parts are and can be obtained from local hardware and or auto stores.  The instruction do require some automotive knowledge, the parts will run you anywhere from 100 to 200 dollars.  We bought one and are now in the process of testing it on one of our vehicles. So far everything seems to be ok as far as running. Installing it wasn't that bad either.  But as far as the claim you can run 400 miles on a pint, NOT.  So far it is running about 400 miles on a 1.5 gallons of water. But all in all it's still a h**l of a lot cheaper than gas.  We are going to test it for 30 days and go from there.  To find information on it search for "HHO"

Answer 5

That's kind of the whole point of hydrogen fuel research
