Car running on water?

Recommended Posts

We did have a teacher who would throw lumps of sodium into the school pond, but apart from that, look at this article from wikipedia. Most of the methods of generating power on these pages seem to violate one of the mainstays of science - that you can't build a perpetual motion machine, and you certainly can't build a machine which releases more energy than it takes in. Energy cannot be created (or destroyed)

Actually from what I understand, you make the generator run on the same fuel/hydrogen mix you want to use in your car. It still has to be compressed ,and the compressor can use the generator for power also.

I don't think the fuel should be classified as power in the classical sense. As I would call it a byproduct of the reaction. Please keep in mind I'm a total moron with this kind of stuff so I could be wrong biggrin_o.gif
