Car Running on Water

Wes Unruh

There’s a lot of things I expect to see in my lifetime; personal jetpacks, genehackers, and flying cars being close
to the top of my list. After talking with Paul Laffoley, I also think time travel’s a lot more possible than
I’d previously suspected, and the car that runs on water is another invention just months from impacting the marketplace.

This Japanese news story shows a vehicle running entirely on water:

Japanese inventors are by no means the only ones about to drop this technology
into the marketplace. There’s also Dennis Dingel’s car, which has been around
for a while now:

And there’s also Dennis Klein’s company in Florida which is apparently in talks to
bring a product to market very similar to what Dingel’s car or the Japanese model:

Meanwhile, in New Zealand, Bios Fuel has developed a completely different approach to
a water-based fuel:

Water-based cars have long been a subject of supposed rumors and conspiracy theories. Y explains:

Yeah, at one point the idea of a car running on water was as outlandish as the idea of a flying car. It’s different now. In fact,
here’s a flying car:

There’s also some amazing cars that actually drive on water. Here’s two different models. First, the refurbished classic water car:

Second, the sleek, ultra-sporty high speed version of a car that runs on water:

Watching these videos led a friend of mine to speculate that perhaps an inventor
might put together a car that not only ran on water, but was fueled by water. It seems a natural and efficient way to mesh two really great ideas. One
way or another, I can’t wait until I have a full-sized version of one of these that I could fly and use for water skiing:

For anyone wanting to try this in their garage, here’s Yoshiro Nakamatsu’s ENEREX water engine patent:

Its seeming to be even stranger from this stand point. At the moment atleast I will probably fall asleep and wake up with this happening tommorrow.

Don’t you guys have one OUNCE of shame? This is all the biggest load of horse crap I’ve EVER heard of in my LIFE! Water injection is one thing… get a few more HP out of that flash of steam, and yes, jet engines get a plane off the ground a LOT faster when it’s raining, but that still doesn’t run on water. Make hydrogen from water? Sure. What does that take? LOTS of electricity….so… actually, you’re running a car on electricity. Why don’t you just take the water and hydrogen RIGHT out of the picture and run the car directly on electricity? It doesn’t take a GED education to realize that every time you change from one form of energy to another, some of it is lost. Ask fred flinstone – he eventually figured out that it was a lot better to get the dinosaur to pull the car rather than have to EAT the dinosaur and then run on his own two feet.

yea yeah look at the patent – filed in 1993. Fifteen years old, and we haven’t seen one water car yet. I’ll tell you what we’ve ALL seen so far though – and on the road by the million, and that is the WHISKEY POWERED CAR. NO JOKE. It’s called ethanol, and we’ve all seen the savings that it’s provided (HAHAHAHAHAH!!!) Technically, the gas we put in many cars these days is 20-proof – I wouldn’t drink it though, because I think that remaining 90% mixture of friendly organobenzene nasties will probably kill you before you could count to eleven.

We my need to accept that the key to our energy future may not come from the government or big energy companies, but rather from small research and development companies and individual inventors working on water cars, fuel cells and on board hydrogen fuel generators.

Does anyone really believe that it takes higher gas prices to motivate research and development into alternative fuel sources?

Running your car 100% on water can be complex, but if you convert your car into a water hybrid it is actually quite simple. The idea of converting your car to run on water might sound complex but it doesn’t have to be difficult. The HHO electrolyser uses an electrolysis process to convert water into oxygen gas which is added to the internal combustion engine. It is simple in design and it comes from an on demand system which doesn’t require any plumbing or storage. This system can help you to burn fuel efficiently and it will also decrease the noise of your engine and the wear and tear.

when copious amounts of hydrogen are produced…. they are more than enough to run a vehicle. There isn’t anyone who can say that we don’t have the capabilities to do this when we have some of the technologies that we have today.
When technology advances…. everything is supposed to advance.
