Re: Water to Fuel Cars

Wow, if that works like advertised should be cool. However, throughout most of the clip the reporters make it sound like water is the only energy source, but as they say a little ways into it, what they are really doing is forming a combustible (I assume) gas, HHO, from water using electrolysis. Which means you need electricity for this to work. I'm not sure how this process is any more efficient than simply using the raw electricity and running the car off an electric motor, but if they have gotten it this far, there must be something to this that I'm missing.
