Camaro that runs on water?
Here is a link to a page about a guy who supposedly was able to make his 1978 350 powered Camaro run on water.
http://waterpoweredcar.com/1978Camaro.html
I haven't read about the "water powered" Camaro yet, so I have no comments about anyone running their Camaro on water. But I figured it would be an interesting read for anyone who likes Camaros. And what a concept that would be: running a Camaro on water!!!

what? is this guy on crack? How the F do you combust water? thats totally ludicrous.
not to mention being electrocuted if you touch that car when its supposedly running, looks more like a "how not to wire" wiring diagram than a water powered car.
is this a joke? am i missing something? am i a tool?

Convert H20 into Hydrogen using Electricity easy to do but takes alot of electricity for little gas. Great idea for fuel cell technology the problem is the power needed to convert.

also nearly impossible to convert enough fast enough to sustain a decently powered motor for more than a few minutes as well before the gas runs out...if you can power the process.
if converting to HHO became more efficient, this would be an excellent hybrid technology, but right now, you will waste more gasoline producing electricity to convert the water and will see no gain.

Apparently not true with the high output alternators new cars are using. I've seen videos of the process working.

I took a peek at this site a few weeks ago: http://www.runyourcaronwater.com/
I don't know much about the process, but it seems to good to be true, so I'm assuming there is a catch somewhere.

i have seen http://www.runyourcaronwater.com/................its realtivley simple we did it on one of my automotive courses at camden county college. With a jump box. You put two dissimaler metals, one negative, one postive into a bucket of water. Then two test tubes upisde down near each negative and postive end. When all the water is gone one test tube will be filled with hydrogen gas and the other oxygen.

You would waste the same amount of energy on electrolysis and propulsion for the car. Didn’t read the article but I don’t believe it.
