Water fuel is old technology, with the coming oil crises this technology now rediscovered will help us get through itYou can double your mileage with this simple clean burn technology, greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and you get greater horsepower through water power.
With the world covered to a large extent with salt water fuel of this type would be the best type of clean fuel for the world. If you get a chance check out this great clip on YouTube about saline water gas and is just the most wildest inventions produced in the last hundred years
New Zealand inventor, Steve Ryan, claims to have produced a way of using water used as fuel directly, in contrast to using water as a source of Hydrogen, which then serves as the combustible fuel.
Lately, the company has produced proprietary catalyst
that mixes waste oil with water to produce gas. The combinations are in the process of being tested by the EPA in the U.S., the results of which are expected in the early months of 2008.
Environmentally friendly gas is made by “pressure cooking” low-rank coal to dehydrate the particles and give off waxes and resins, leaving the dust in a safe, high-energy state, with the extracted water holding the suspended particles. The water is treated and then put back to the dried coal. The end product is a viscus liquid fuel that looks and moves like oil: Environmentally friendly fuel.
While you can break water down to ignite there is another way, and they do so in the form of a fuel cell, however it’s for an electric vehicle. It uses electrolysis but rather than using the hydrogen to gas an motor, it’s passed through a membrane which strips it of an electron which is used for the vehicle’s electric system but allows the hydrogen atom to pass and recombine itself with the electron on the other side, also bonding with oxygen atoms creating an exhaust of water.
While a large amount of fuel cell slices are needed to gain a quantum amount of power, which produces a large electrical potential for the electrolysis, gains in battery technology (such as the Lithium Ion batteries used in the 2nd gen. Pruis) and regenerative braking make it a nice alternative.
Zubrin describes the concept in his writings, using NSWR for a round trip mission to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. the chemical form of a soluble salt (uranium tetra-bromide) would fuel the NSWR that would bedissolved in ordinary water at about the same atom number concentration as the salt in sea water.
