Very nicely footed. Wonder if this is true ? What do you think ?

cars will run on petrol until petrol runs out.
Tesla made an electric car in 1931 that ran on electromagnetic waves. No battery, no fuel, completely silent.
Also the electricity supply was free.
It was surpressed because oil companies would go bust.
Look into it and you'll see

It's a nice thought, isn't it? Unfortunately, it's not realistically possible. I had an engineering colleague of mine who sent me a similar utube video of someone else who's invented the exact same thing. Fortunately, there was a reply to the video from a chemistry professor from the U. of Maryland who explained why it doesn't work. It has to do with efficiency. There's a name for this scam, I can't remember, but it's been around since cars were invented. The problem is with the amount of energy you get out versus how much you put in, or efficiency. Of, course, you can NEVER get more out than you put in, and it would be still much more efficient if you just took the electricity you're using to separate the water and just plugged it straight into an electric motor.
It's not that car companies are trying to suppress this technology. It's just that it's very unfeasible.

It would be nice if it were true, but I see no reason to conclude that it does. I've seen any number of over-unity devices out there, and not one of them has ever proven itself.
Nothing in that video makes me believe that he had done anything revolutionary. It was all based on what he said, not based on him running an engine on a dyno, etc. There's just no independently verified data to back up his claims.

These concepts have been around since the '40s.
I've had some first hand knowledge of one.
It was bought and buried by oil companies. The inventor retired super wealthy.
It's very believable and most would concur that a conspiracy exists to prevent it's introduction and use.

What a bunch of crap. No it won't work. I love the flag stuff at the beginning. Nice touch ... sniff sniff.
