1. RecycleCindy Said,

   Wonderful news! Sign me up please. I need a car that runs on H2O. I hope they get this out soon.

2. gbs Said,

   youre greatly oversimplifying the problem.
   the energy to break the bonds between the Oxygen and the Hydrogen has to come from somewhere; namely, the same places it comes from now. Also, the process for splitting water into Oxygen and Hydrogen gas is called electrolysis and is done regularly by high school freshmen all over the world.

3. CharlieB Said,

   $3.00? I hope that’s a typo, because over here in the UK, ‘gas’ is about £50 ($100) a tank!

4. Gezza Said,

   Ahhhh, no more - I cant take it…….I’m laughing too hard.

   Sorry boys - basic chemistry says it takes a certain amount of energy to break ( or should that be BRAKE!!! :))) a chemical bond, Then when you recombine the atoms, you get the energy back. Sorry, but this just doesnt give you any free energy - Its yet another hoax, and has been around for years, and will be around while there are still suckers who think they can get something for nothing, and con men selling stuff to gullible people.

5. count ludwig Said,

   I’m not saying it’s a load of nonsense or that HHO gas is non-existent, but I will say that a fool and his money are soon parted.

6. Ken Said,

   The problem is that the oil companies will do everything they can to put a stop to this!

7. Chris Said,

   I hope the resultant H2O goes back into the car’s fuel system and not into the air. if it does, it is not a pollution free vehicle. The H2O put into the air may be a small amount per car, but when you add up all the cars, the amount will be sizeable and I believe will change the weather as more H2O is put into the air by cars. Gesh, people now claim that the CO2 put into the air by cars, although previously considered small, is now the cause of “global warming” (which is questionable in my opinion). Humidity changes have already occurred in desert areas now inhabited by people and are now planting and watering lawns.

8. youareanidiot Said,

   You do know what HHO is, right? Come on america…

9. Will Said,

   Haven’t Honda already released their hybrid that only gives out water as waste? or is this an extremely different process?

   Will

10. Trull Said,

    this is silly. it takes more energy to split the H2O than you can obtain from it.
    this is typical scientifically challenged, new age conspiracy babble… whats next?
    are you going to tell us that the ancient egyptians had perpetual motion machines and that the illuminati have been keeping that technology form the public for 5000 years?

11. Phoenix king Said,

    HHO is different then H2O in the way in which the molecules line up. Also, I’d like to point out that unless they are using solar power to get the molecules to reline up in this more energy producing way, or producing the HHO gas and then putting it in the car, then like gbs is saying, it’d be impossible to get energy out of the equation, simple chemistry, conservation of energy, namely, you cannot create energy out of no where, the energy in a system will always stay the same. So they can’t just reroute the water back into the system. Also, water vapor wouldn’t cause damage to the earth system because it’s taken from the system and put back into it. Fossil fuels are taking carbon that was locked away in oil for millions of years and putting them in the atmosphere, that is what is causing the warming.

12. sammyW Said,

    The major Oil corporations would never allow this on account of they would lose all their profit and would buy them out before they even hit the market.. this needs to be done for the environment before the cosmic repercussions take hold.

13. James Said,

    Please go back to chemistry 101, this doesn’t give you any more energy then you put into it unless the person who “patented” electrolysis discovered magic.

14. James Said,

    Oh and this,

15. bibi Said,

    Food for Thought, folks.
    This may or may not be the thing that changes the way we run our cars and ends the consumption of oil, but the ideas have to keep coming until someone comes up with the real deal.

    Thanks for all the comments, lets keep it interesting and clean…

16. commercially unviable Said,

    Whatever they want to call it, Brown/Klein’s gas doesn’t actually exist. The chemical bonds “scientists” who have found it claim it to have are impossible - a hydrogen atom cannot bond that way. Spectrographic analysis have proven that HHO is nothing but H2+2O2.

    Anyway, H2+202 is pretty useless as a fuel. 3.3 watt hours per liter of energy, and with today’s best engines, that’s 2.7 recoverable. With American made engines, which are far from the best, a liter of gasoline can produce up to 9000 watt hours of recoverable energy. Because you have losses to efficiency at both ends of the process, producing the gas by electrolysis takes more energy than you’ll get back at the end - some is lost at each end in sound, heat, and just gas leaking from the system. So if you actually put water into the car, thermodynamics bites you in the butt and your car will never produce one joule of useful energy.

    The actual commercial potential comes about one step back, from hydrogen. It can be compressed immensely - far beyond the hydrogen/oxygen mix produced by electrolysis, so while it still has a very low energy density compared to gasoline, a vehicle can carry a much greater volume to compensate. The oxygen for the reaction then comes from the same place a gasoline combustion engine gets it - the atmosphere. You still have two points of loss, though, and the energy to produce the energy ultimately comes from the power grid itself, which doesn’t solve the emissions problem, it just centralizes it.

17. bibi Said,

    By the way CharlieB,
    That is not a typo, except for the most expensive cities like San Francisco and New York, most of us have yet to see $3.00. In my area it’s around $2.93. So for most of us $3.00 is a lot. We are not used to the $6.00 you guys pay in Europe.
    I would venture to say that we probably drive longer distances on average than Europeans. So $6.00 would probably bankrupt us.

    Thanks for your comment…

18. yourallidiots Said,

    Already exist as rocket fuel
    the Gov. has already suppressed this technology long ago
    you can’t have it. ( must buy gasoline )
    along with electric vehicle technology
    we already had it. ( must buy gasoline )
    they want us to choke on our own toxic waste.
    haven’t you heard them year after year
    bragging and boasting about their
    MULTI - BILLION DOLLARS in profit.
    They are not gonna give that up for anything.
    They are laughing hard, get use to it !

19. John Said,

    Actually I am pretty sure it is a mistake,” average tank of gas in America will reach $3.00 soon”

    not $3.00 a tank, but $3.00 a gallon.

20. bibi Said,

    Your right that’s $3.00 a gallon, that would be about $45 to $50 a tank, on average. Like CharlieB says in Europe it’s double that about $100 a tank.

    Thanks

21. Don Said,

    > The problem is that the oil companies will do everything they can to put a stop to this!

    Yeah… they started by setting up the physical rules of the universe to make this impossible.

    (That was the oil companies, right? Aren’t they to blame for everything that’s not exactly as we like it?)

    *eyeroll*

22. Ryan Said,

    There are still people trying to violate the 2nd and 3rd laws of thermodynamics? Why aren’t the “eco-friendly” people ever the people who understand basic science?

23. Hal Said,

    Forget the laws of thermodynamics. H20 can be decomposed into it’s diatomic gases - H & O - by using a catalyst to assist the reaction without using large amounts of energy. Then 1.5 volts at 500mA can split water and when put into a PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) would generate more energy than used (eg. 25 watt PEM produces 19.9 Volts at 1.2 AMPS). However, without the catalyst and just using brute force decomposition (large energy) like a Hoffman Apparatus does, uses about 25 Volts at 3 AMPS to produce enough hydrogen to make a “pop” when lit with a match. You need to consider that a 25 watt PEM costs about $500 and that is not very cost effective - a PEM stack large enough to run a car will cost about $5000 to $10000, which may be initially cost effective but it would need to be replaced in about 2000 hours of operation - find a way to reduce cost of PEM and you will become very wealthy. Hard for inventors (I’m one) to experiment when the materials cost so much.

24. morepowerr Said,

    It has little to do with thermodynamics and more to do with you pay at the pump & What it do’s to the environment.

    A combustion engine will obey the rules of thermodynamics no matter what kind of fuel you put in it. Be it gasoline,propane,hydrogen or even corn whiskey. The most efficient 4-stroke motors only have around 43.0% thermal efficiency. That is regardless of the type of fuel you use.

    You not going to be pay any huge some of cash to use a electrolysis system. Only what you pay for parts and water.

    This is because the electrolysis system runs off cars battery. with is charged buy the cars alternator. The cars alternator outputs enough electricity to charge you cars battery. As well as run things like the cars light,radio,fans and the electrolysis device.

    What i find funny is all these people selling the things for so much. When you can DIY one for less then 5 cent on the $ of what they are charging. From parts in you local hardware store.

25. RLFetty Said,

    I’d be a fool not to buy a few shares of stock (Remember Microsoft also took off out of a garage). For now, I’ll just sit back and wait to see it start on the penny stocks, then it’s, somebody lend me some money, for gas? Really, what are we going to do with all of this water rolling across our highways in the winter? Boy’s and Girls, IT’S SLIP AND SLIDE TIME, yall have fun, rick.

26. Greg Said,

    A sucker born every minute. In my experience, the only people who think powering a car from water is viable never took (or passed) even entry level chemistry or physics classes.

    Water is not a fuel.

27. johnandrews52 Said,

    Can we run our car with water and gas?
    Can anybody tell me is the HHO Gas is real working or is another scam?

28. ronaldcollins Said,

    hi there, I use water to fuel a car 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 car fuel efficiently, improve emissions quality, and save money. I found the way through this
    site http://www.runcarsonwater.us i really recommend it to everybody, it’s a nice ebook where you can find the instructions on how to do it! take a look.

29. joeblow Said,

    All those people that are 100% sure that water cannot be use to make a fuel and keep saying, “law of conservation of energy… and you can’t get something for nothing…” are being very narrow minded.

    People should never speak in absoluteness. There is no 100% certainty.

    First off, how are you so sure that water cannot be effectively split into a fuel? Is it that someone else told you in science class. Have you done any research or experimentation on your own? Oh, you don’t need to because you know without a doubt that it is not true.
    I feel a lot of you are the same people that a few hundred years ago would have laughed and mocked someone when they told you the earth was round. HA HA HA! Your a fool! The earth is obviously flat because someone else told me so!
