It only works properly if you have one of these Electric Turbos

No oil needed, no pollution, zero cost apart this guy's converter
...Come on!! give me a break
water for fuel could only work if you can have a well controlled thermonuclear reaction inside your engine that transforms the forces within the H neutrons into heat...that would mean endless energy at nearly zero cost, apart the tecnology.
Only con is that the best men of science are working around the globe on this project since half century without succeding (yet)...

With A Bit More Applied Technology...I Do Not See Why This Could Not Suppliment The Use Of Gasoline...... It Does Not Seem To Much Different From A Propane/Butane Set-up...(Short Of The Gas Generation) .....G.M. Bought The Patient In The Late 60's... That Converted The Liquid Gasoline To A Gas Fuel....They Refered To It As The 100 Mile Per Gallon Carberator System.....Not Much Different Than A Propane/Butane Set-up...(Short Of The Gas Generation)....

The solution to the energy crisis and the greenhouse gas issue is to take carbon dioxide (the major greenhouse gas) and separate it into 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms using the carbon (coal) as a fuel source and the oxygen to burn the coal. I just have to figure out how top do it.
Maybe then I could make enough $ to finish my vette.

Wow…it takes all kinds. The science of that little thing is as good as the electric blower. Yes you can separate the Hydrogen and Oxygen in water by using electricity; however it takes a lot of electricity. What is more likely happening is that the vacuum placed on the water jar is pulling air through the water. That puts a little water vapor into the fuel mixture. The addition of a little water may have the benefit of adding a little cooler running air charge, and may help, but no more then driving in the fog.

100% money back if not completely satisfied. That's great! I can get my $50.00 back, Can't go wrong! What about the cost of a new motor because I was stupid enough to put water in the gas tank. Let alone the humiliation of having to explain it to my insurance company and local repair shop.
I have an engine that runs on moon light too!

You know what I've learned about all this global warming do-do is that most of these "ideas" are sounding more and more unbelievable every day. The next one is worse than the last(or funnier). People will soon realize what it's really all about.

they used engines like that back in the 1800's. they were called steam engines and you had to fired up a boiler using wood or a coal fire. So if you build a vette big enough to run a steam boiler and carry a cord of wood. yea its possible. "engines running on water"

I suggest you find the "Mythbusters" episode that tests all kinds of alternative fuels. Water did not cut it at all. They tried 4 or 5 different types of fuels and the only thing that really worked was old cooking oil from McDonalds.

The water in oxygen out engine has existed in theory since WWII. Only now with todays microprocessors can it become a reality. So why isn't the water fueled vehicle on the market today? Becauce noboby's figured a way to charge $6 a gal. on all the worlds fresh water....yet.

I still remember a guy coming in a gas station I worked at and showed me the "Turbo" the the previous owner used as a selling point. It was the emissions air pump .....
