I heard that someone found a way to use water as a fuel source, is this true?

I know you would have to start by modifying the entire fuel system, but is there any reason why the basic engine couldn't handle it?

I was just wondering this because i know that the planes and jets we have today use a huge amount of fuel and are disastrous to our environment. And i am talking about better planes that can hold many people like the ones we have today.
email me if you want more clarification

AN ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE WHICH WAS HAULING NEARLY 15 CARS STOPPED WHEN A PERSON PULLED AN ALARM CHAIN . IT COULD NOT START AS THE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE EXACTLY STOPPED IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE AND PEOPLE HAD TO GET DOWN AND PUSH THE CARS TO MAKE THE LOCOMOTIVE MOVE AWAY FROM THE NEUTRAL ZONE. AS SOON AS IT EXITED FROM THE NEUTRAL ZONE THE LOCOMOTIVE GOT BACK THE POWER. i WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE SHOULD BE NEUTRAL ZONE AND WHETHER IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF ELECTRIC TRACTION.

would you support converting coastal wetlands to sugar cane crop? the production of ethonal is more efficient at sea level. sugar cane contains more glucose which would covert to ethonal. if we are going to get very deep into ethonal then the distilation has to be done along the coasts, preferably near the production of the glucose source.

Plug-In Electric Hybrids are vehicles that have, in addition to a gas motor, an electric motor which runs off an onboard battery that can be charged at home. The problem is that battery technology to store enough power for any appreciable range is extremely expensive. But I do wonder whether our highways can be economically electrified so that PHEVs can pull their power from the road, while charging their batteries at the same time. Then much of our travel miles could be electrically powered without the huge up front cost of extensive battery storage.

NYC uses large crown vics, which looks like they burn a lot MPG, but most of the time they're stuck in traffic (wasting fuel)

A hybrid shuts down when it's parked, uses wasted kinetic energy to charge batteries, and at slow speeds, uses an electric motor.

It would be a great investment. Cities would be quieter, and reduce smog (and also gas). Are any cities doing this?

Here's a picture:

It's a solar powered electric car. I'm wondering where I could buy one, and if it's fast enough to drive on the street.

Russia has fossil fuel stored away since the cold war and perhaps beyond. You already about the middle east. As seeing that gas prices is now over 3 bucks a gallon, I don't see why someone hasn't come up with alternatives such as soy bean or making biodiesel more consumer friendly. Fossil fuels won't last forever. Hyrdrogen may be a good source but hard to keep it pressurized and cooled. There has to be some other viable fuel source. How far do you think electric cars can go? We will have a fuel shortage at the end of our life time for us thirtysomethings. Does anyone have any answers?

Hicknorant, its a mix between hick and ignorant, you pretty much can not separate the two. Most hicknorant people voted for bush and as I stated in one answer, no person should have voted for bush if they didnt have 10 percent of their stock portfolio in oil I think I know why they voted for bush. Nascar. Hicknorants love nascar, but they dont know that electric cars run faster.

Is anyone else enraged by the fact that electric cars were taken off assembly lines in America? We had a chance to change history and pollution levels in a dynamic fashion. Now, they are releasing 'hybrids' in America that get an average of only 25/mpg, which is a mokery of electric car's fuel-free performance.

Where do we go from here after such injustice by so many contributors (motor companies, government, ignorant consumers, California Air Resource board)? It makes me lose faith in our country.

How come with the technology that's over 50 years old ( that I know of ) are we still waiting for an automobile that runs on Hydrogen ??? .
I know their out there but we're still letting Detroit push gas guzzling monsters on us and then turn around and blames us for using what they design and build , we can't build our own automobiles , if we did some of the oil company's would go belly up along with some of the automobile company's .
