Cars Really Can Run Themselves On Water

Without any other energy output, a motor vehicle that in which the fuel is water is called a water-fuelled car. Hydrogen is the fuel in water-fuelled cars; it is a part of the compound that makes water. The hydrogen being used as the fuel does not make this vehicle a steam engine.

A source, such as wood or coal, is burned to heat up the water in a steam engine. The water becomes steam, which then moves the engine after the water has been heated. The water is not the fuel source in this case, the wood or coal is.

It is hard to convert water into fuel because it is a waste product. A substance with less energy must be made, as such with petrol (gas), wood or coal. When the substance with less energy is made, the unstable bonds convert into stable bonds.

It is hard to convert water because it is already a very stable bond. Water resists most reactions due to its stability. A high-energy compound must be added for water to be converted into energy.

A fuel called acetylene is made by adding calcium carbide to water. The fuel is the calcium carbine not the actual water in this instance. Electrolysis is the only real way to make water a fuel.

Electrolysis is the separation of the bond of water when a current of power is passed through the water. The energy source is the hydrogen that is taken from the compound of two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen to make the water. It takes a lot of power to separate this very strong bond.

The hydrogen can be converted at an efficiency of 50-70%. However, it takes a battery to break the bonds of water, therefore this is not considered a water-fuelled car but a battery operated one. Because the battery uses so much energy to break the bonds, there is not enough energy to keep the process moving for very long.

A proper and successful water fuelled car has yet to be designed. Creating a truly water-fuelled vehicle is blocked by the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Many vehicles that have been created with the idea that they are water-fuelled have been classified as perpetual motion machines due to the strictness of these two laws.

A true water-fuelled car could possibly be an invention in Japan this year, but it has yet to receive its patent. An invention must have a patent in order to be proved of good quality and marketed. A company gets a patent in order to keep from being copied.

It is possible that they have finally found a way to use the abundant resource of water for fuel with the Japanese company trying to hard to get their patent. Then the millions around the world who have been hurt by the raise of the price of petrol can breathe a little more easily if this is the case. We will have a cleaner and cheaper way to get around in the not so distant future.

Other manufacturers have not yet been leaked the information on this water-fuelled car. The Japanese are able to keep a secret to themselves. Within the next ten years it is believed that there will be water-fuelled cars on the market, once the patent has been obtained.

We all now realize gas prices are through the roof. Saving on fuel costs is on everyone's mind. People are even converting their cars to a water gas hybrid. You get increased gas mileage, and it's not that expensive. car running on water
