Would love some fedback on your thought's

Answer 1

This is a fraud. It has been around for many years. Back in the 1930's my great grandfather told me that shysters were working this scam to try to make people think that cars could be run on nothing but water. Secretly they would add carbide to make acetylene gas, which ran the car for a while. It tends to destroy the motor though. The same scam returned in the 1970's during the gas crisis and now that gasoline is over $3.00/gal it is back again.

If you place calcium carbide in water it gives off acetylene gas, which is flammable. The only common use now are for mining lamps: "Carbide lamps, an important source of portable subterranean illumination for mining and caving, and in the past for lighthouse lamps, work through on-demand production and combustion of acetylene by the metered addition of water to calcium carbide."

You can appear to make a car run on water by using carbide. However it is not useful as a fuel because it takes a great deal of energy to make carbide. You are not getting something for nothing.

The two sites you provided are designed to fool and defraud people. I hope you have not been defrauded by these charlatans.

Answer 2

People open to new ideas are as excited as you are regarding the possibilities...

But just imagine what will happen to all the industry running on petrol/diesel/coal based energy. Who will buy petrol car or a diesel truck... all petrol and diesel engine or generator makers will be out of business...they will always oppose these developments for their own survival.

Hydrogen has few drawbacks... that needs to be addressed like production and distribution of this gas... as it is potentially very explosive, and at present the technology is very costly.
