How Water turns into fuel substitute for the gas because gas is makes pollutant in our environment.

I saw in the phiippines the water turns into fuel it can use in the torch to meltdown the metals and its uses for the car to run. Maybe thats the solution in oil price problem the very good way to alternate the gas.

Professor Meyer invented a water cell device, which uses a high voltage low current (15KV - 2mA) to break down the valance band surrounding the oxygen and hydrogen atoms (co-valance band), this hydrogen is then burnt as a pollutant free fuel, the waste product is distilled water and oxygen.

There are two problems with replacing gasoline with water.

First is the conservation of energy problem. As marbledog said, it takes more energy to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen than you're going to get back by burning the hydrogen. Theoretically, these two processes could cancel, but there's always inefficiency. That said, if you had a large source of energy that wasn't useful for transportation purposes (like, perhaps, solar power), this energy could be used to make hydrogen to fuel vehicles.

The second problem, however, still remains. That is the problem of practicality. Not only is hydrogen tricky to exploit for propelling vehicles, not only is it a volatile substance in air, but it is in a low density gaseous form at normal temperature and pressure. This means that it is a hard engineering problem just to arrange a 'gas tank' that can hold a decent amount of it.

These problems are solvable, mind. But it's still a tricky proposition to replace petrol with water.

This is just a guess but since water's two main components are oxygen and hydrogen, and when you run an electrical current to water, it starts to seperate and give off both gases, compress these gases in enough quantity to be utilized in a controlled detonation and voila, you have water as a fuel, although to my knowledge this all theoretical.

It can't be done.

Master_U:
The problem with that cell is that it requires more energy to break down the covalent bonds than you can utilize by burning the hydrogen. Law of Conservation of Energy, my friend. It would be more efficient to simply run the car off of the battery used to break up water molecules.
