Run your seven on water. Snake oil?

Hi Bob,

This is good stuff, now I don't have to fix my fuel leak. I'll just take out the gas tank and put it out with the trash.

Wow, I'm so glad that they finally found a way to repeal the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

 

The third law was smashed last year, and I bet someone will find a way to do something about that pesky first law sometime in the next 6 months......

 

Free lunch for everyone! Only 29.99 plus tax, shipping, handling, fuel surcharge, disposal surcharge, environmental cleanup initiative fee, and early withdrawal fee. But don't answer yet because if you call in the next 10 minutes we will include this free gold certificate with "I am a moron" printed right next to your name.... :rofl:

Just imagine the benefits of combining this with the "magnets around the fuel line" and "vortex inlet swirler" technologies...

 

... darn car might even PRODUCE energy as it moves :)

The funniest part about that is that as supporting info they have a video clip of a guy pitching a "water-powered" fuel cell power source that uses an entirely unrelated principle of operation.

 

The engine solution pitches electrolysis of water (gee...wonder where they get the electricity from), while the fuel cell guy reacts chemical hydrides with water.

 

 

The fuel cell is mildly interesting except for the economics. 270Whr for a $20 = $74/kWh going cost :crazy:

 

The specific energy is solid at somewhere between 100 Whr/kg and 310 Whr/kg depending on duration. But compare with a high-performance Li-Poly battery which can give you >100Whr/kg for a going cost of more or less your electricity rate.

 

The specific power of the fuel cell sucks too, though. 25W/2.68kg = 9.3W/kg vs. the Li-Poly battery which I'd guess could give 100W/kg (including mass of the inverter)

Another good one.
