Is it really possible to run your car with water as fuel?

The idea of filling up your empty car fuel tank with water boggles the mind especially when we hear how water in the fuel tank can actually harm your engine. Imagine the savings one could realize by filling up with the garden hose only! Regardless of what we think, the idea of water fuel for car engines is in fact very real.

Definition of the Water Fuel Cell

According to Wikipedia:

The water fuel cell is a device invented by American Stanley Allen Meyer, which he claimed could convert water into its component elements, hydrogen and oxygen, using less energy than can be obtained by the subsequent combustion of those elements, a process that results the reconstitution of the water molecules. Thus, if the device operated as claimed, the combustion cycle would start and end in the same state while extracting usable energy, thereby violating both the first and second laws of thermodynamics,^[1] allowing operation as a perpetual motion machine. Meyer’s claims about his “Water Fuel Cell” and the car that it powered were found to be fraudulent by an Ohio court in 1996.^[2]

Controversy Over The Death of Water Fuel Cell Inventor

There has been some controversy over Meyer’s death - there is speculation that it may have been murder due to the impact that this type of technology could have had on the oil market.

OK, so you already got the leather case and eagerly take your HP IPAQ 212 PDA with you when you realise that it won’t be easy using it while driving. Not that I advocate tinkering of PDAs while maneuvering a car, it’s just that there are times when you DO need to use your handheld system while on the road.

I’ve always been a Nissan fan, especially after my Nissan Silvia S15 Boy-Racer days. So it was a pleasant surprise to see the new Nissan Skyline 350GT being tested on Melbourne Roads. My initial observation was it doesn’t look too much of a sports car, then again this model may not be the final model that’ll hit the showrooms. Can’t tell you much else as it was just a passing glance.

Anyways looking forward to giving this a whirl in the upcoming months.
