I’m currently looking into converting cars to run on water.
This technology is not new. People have been running cars on water since the mid 70′s. If this sounds a little weird for you, please read on. The theory behind water powered cars is simple. Generate hydrogen from water and feed it into the inlet manifold of the engine.
This is a very basic view of how it works. The hardest part of the whole project is getting a current to flow through water with enough electrical zap to generate hydrogen. The next hardest to control is the flow rate of the hydrogen generated. Remember that hydrogen is a very explosive gas. (they make bombs from Hydrogen). Also keeping the Hydrogen from any accidental ignition. “whoops” and it’s all over. That’s the thing with Hydrogen powered vehicles. I don’t understand how your allowed to carry a tank of highly explosive gas around. Gas that is up to 27 times more explosive than petrol in weight. So it’s much more sensible to produce the Hydrogen as you need it and use it straight away.
So back to the free fuel that hydrogen is.
A Water Powered Car is the Free Energy reality we’ve all been hoping and waiting for.
Here are a few videos to get your mind ticking over. I hope as many people as possible follow up on these videos and get the word out about the possibilities of green driving. No fossil fuel burning and no hazardous pollutants. Water is what comes out of your exhaust. Harmless Water!
BUT!
Hydrogen Gas is colourless, odorless, nonmetallic, tasteless and highly flammable. Hydrogen, when ignited, will mostly burn with an invisible flame making it even more hazardous. Breathing pure Hydrogen will kill you. So you need to be very careful when playing with it!

How Explosive is Hydrogen?
Well, Hydrogen is said to be up to  seven (7) times more powerful than petrol. Some claim it to be 20+ times more explosive than most fossil fuels.

Here you can see for yourself.

68 miles per gallon, or, 3 Litres per 100kms.

I will be converting my current car (Mazda Bravo Ute- Dual Fuel) to run on water. The expected fuel economy increase should be about 60%. At the moment it runs at around 15 litres per hundred. That in itself is fairly poor fuel economy. It does have the advantage of a gas conversion. The Fuel Economy with LPG is around 17 litres per 100kms. I hope to get this figure down to around 7 or 8 litres per hundred kilometers. Our Falcon averages 13.8 litres per hundred. Both cars are used around town so the economy rates are fairly high. The falcon will drop to about 8-9 litres per hundred kms on a trip with higher speeds and less stop start traffic. The Bravo Ute goes up in usage because of the low gearing and engine revs at 100 – 110 kmph. It revs at 3200 rpm at 110 kmph. It uses about 20 litres per hundred at this rate. So highway figures should drop down to about 10 litres per hundred kms.

1 litre of water for 80kms of travel!

It will be interesting to see how it works with LPG. Regulating the LPG will be a little bit harder. I may have to tweak the fogger that sends that LPG to the motor and lean it out gradually untill I get it right.
