According to the hypes behind these things. If you chucked in a few HiClones, and a Fuel Catalyst, plus a Vapouriser.... Your car will use almost no fuel, and have almost as much power as it would if you turbo'd it :armsup:

A "water powered car" isn't that far fetched - it just means they are splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen and burning the hydrogen.

The process is old, google "electrolysis", it's just that they can't convert water into hydrogen/oxygen efficiently enough to make it worthwhile because it requires a significant amount of energy to begin with to make enough fuel to keep the car going.

At least that's what they were having problems with last time I read about it.
You are forgetting about the CONSERVATION OF ENERGY. To split water into hydrogen and oxygen takes FAR MORE energy than you get back from burning it.
