How do you make a car run on water?

Answer 1

You seal it up real tight on the bottom, put in a marine transmission and a couple of props.

Answer 2

The process of separating H2O actually releases more energy than when the two bond together. So, the separation is where you get more power. See, so when you have a system that can separate and re-bond, you're money ahead. Most systems, power plant, engines and the like take chemical energy and convert it to heat energy then into mechanical energy, etc... Well heat loss is energy loss, losses due to mechanical friction is energy lost. A Car engine may be only 85-90% energy efficient, ( gasoline) due to the energy losses I just described. I doubt the oil companies would like the public running vehicles without their pricey fuels, plus Prez. Bush and the VP are big oil men. By the way, the first Hydro powered car that I am aware of was produced back in 1967. Yes, they knew of this technology back then. Consider the "H" bomb. Hydrogen can produce a lot of power!

Answer 3

Depends on which way you want it to run on water.

1. Put pontoons on it and hook up a propeller, like what the Cubans did with their seagoing truck.

2. Install a fusion reactor under the hood - they're the only engine even theoretically capable of using water as an energy source.

Answer 4

BMW is releasing the first hydrogen engine vehicle available to consumers. It will run partly on hydrogen and partly on gas. They can only release it in the 7-series because of space requirements. Its a little harder to run a car on water though. Hydrogen engines have hydrogen cells, they dont hold water. In current technology in order to convert H2O into just hydrogen you would need a lot of engine space. We havent figured out how to convert water to hydrogen in a small space yet. There are such engines by themselves, now all we need to do is get them smaller. But for now BMW has the marked on the hydrogen engine cars.

Answer 5

Well, the myths I've heard are that you generate hydrogen gas with the water and the engine actually runs on the hydrogen gas much like they run on propane, but it takes LOTS of hydrogen to get a car down the road. Check out freeenergy.com or mother-earth news Good luck.

Answer 6

Buy a car specifically built for that which you actually can otherwise your a mechanic or some kind of engineer I wouldnt even try

Answer 7

Somewhat controversial, but there does seem to be some MILITARY and governmental interest in the process.
Here is a link to some information on the process------->

Good Luck

Answer 8

Pontoons and a propeller!

Answer 9

currently you don't....but there is hope for hydrogen driven engines ...volatile system but it has been done by few

Answer 10

drive on ice
