According to the website layout, it is still in the works and it was seen on TV.

It is not a new idea by any means, it has been around since the 1930s. They used to used it on older planes. Apparently it is is supposed to raise the octane on the fuel going in creating a higher flash point on the fuel. It cools the air fuel mixture allowing it to expand more, since pressure is directly proportional to temperature. The compression turns the water into vapor which also bumps up compression. The change from water to steam also consumes heat (at a rate of about 1,100 calories per gram of the liquid). Did my sophomore term paper on fuel economy and ways to improve it and i briefly touched this subject

it actually works too. you can build a home made version for less than 10 dollars... i'll look for a set of plans

ok found some plans... a friend of mine did it even cheaper, but this looks like a good way to do it:

so you inject water into your combustion chamber with your fuel?????????

[Ruecifur]

no, you separate the hydrogen from the oxygen and then run that.

ah when i have some free time i'll have to read that article in detail. seems interesting

its pretty cool shit

if this is so awesome could somebody tell me why it isn't used everyday

Because people like you would use urine in it.

I want to build a full water one and see if it works. I know the gas/water hybrid systems work, a buddy of mine had one on and you could feel it when you turned it on.

it would work me thinks

it would work me thinks

depending on the concentration


i didn't really look into any of this shit posted, but everything i have heard about these water systems in general lead to people saying it's complete bullshit

depending on the concentration

i read that they will run on saltwater if thats all you have.

Hydrogen? Isn't it very combustible? Explosive?
