Default Water powered vehicle quickly becoming a reality

There was a thread a couple months ago when the idea of water as a power source was discussed, but the technology was dismissed by the engineering set as being impractical and not viable. Could the engineers be a little behind the curve? This news report seems to provide the proof of that.

So why exactly is this man NOT a multi-trillionaire, and why is this not in mass production right now?

This just in.... Teddy Klein found dead in his home.

Sign me up for one of the water powered hummers. There was also some rmblings from a guy in Sweeden who claims to have developed a mechanical system that creates more power than what it uses.

The original thread is here with the same video starting it .

http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...ht=water+power

I think it pretty much sums up the pitfalls with water as a viable energy source.

Obviously was not focused on using his technology for the right application. Seemed he was focused on getting the welding and cutting application to market first. Pretty cool stuff IMO.

Interesting idea. The problem I'd imagine is finding that new required resource.

I have a friend who is an engineer and has been working with brawns(sp) gas for some time(years). He and his partners do sell the torches already out of Castlegar and are working the bugs out of using it in a car engine.

There are always ramblings about guys who claim to make a mechanical system that creates more power than it uses, and guess what? They are all crap.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!

Dear God, I can't belive there are still people that think this kind of thing is actually possible. They are called the LAWS of physics (in this case technically thermodynamics) for a reason.

I'm assuming in my own stupidity that hydrogen is the key component here, and your seperating it from oxygen right.

I think I'm going to pass on sitting on a tank full of hydrogen.

This is the way to solve the world's energy crunch.

If this idea were to take off how long do you figure it would take for G.W. Bush to add the oceans of the world to the Axis of Evil?
