I have been to band camp. Oh, you were there too. I remember.
During my summer I believe I will have to make a car that runs on water.

you can get hydrogen form water, and one of the byproducts of burning hydoren is water....

Tub.. If the car was running on water, you would not have hydrogen to burn.

It would already be in the compound. So it would not run on water, tub the exhaust would be water.

You get hydrogen from water by performing Electrolysis. Sending electricity in to the water will cause H2O to seperate into H2 and O2's that float up to the surface. You then burn the H2 (hydrogen) and run you car. Burning the hydrogen will then combine with oxygen again, which produces electricity to run your car. Water is the byproduct. Or, plan B, after separating the water apart, you can burn the hydrogen in a modified internal combustion engine, and have oxygen as a byproduct. I think that Plan B is simpler, and I will thus attempt to do that.

Is electrolysis of water energy or cost efficient? Wouldn't it be better to find a different source of H2?

Even though it would take the electricity, water is free and would be cheaper than gasoline.

How would you make the electricity?

From your battery

How would you charge said battery?

by **trumpetprodigy** on Tue May 31, 2005 2:20 pm

As you drive, the power created by the engine would charge the battery, or something. I don't know. I haven't taken mechanics yet in school.

scientists have actually been working on a water powered car for about 50 years now

Hydrogen!!!! It's called a fuel cell.

by **Pimienta** on Tue May 31, 2005 3:21 pm

it's all the same

I heard it while I was on our roof listening to the radio

it said they were getting closer

Some people have created water powered cars. They have not came out to the public, though, because of the danger. You would put so many oil companies out of business that they would hire assasins to kill you or something. That is why we don't hear about them.
