Water Power!
Hopefully this isn't a repost (although it is a bit old) but I stumbled upon this video again and wanted to share it with you guys.

Wow, simply amazing. I was hoping they would get into details of the Escort... dyno that s#!t! lol
I have a bit of skepticism and a bit of concern over that guy's safety.

Remember, he said it he turns water into HHO gas with electricity, so it's not like the car is running on water alone. Might as well just make it run on electricity.

Yeah....this is really old....but still very interesting.
I remember reading about it awhile ago. I think the reason it never took off was because it was totally inefficient and impractical.
I guess that turned out to be true, or we'd all be using it by now.
I think he started this back in the 80's.
It would be really cool if they could make it practical though.

Either way it would reduce dependency on oil, even if it isn't more efficient.

Yeah, and it would increase dependency on electrition, so instead of gas companies ripping us off, the electric companies will.

you can make hydrogen cleanly, cheaply, and safely using a nuclear power plant but people in the US still think nuclear = bad, based on 1st generation nuclear power plants, and have no idea that 5th generation plants cannot melt down by their very design.

I guess people would rather breathe in the coal we burn rather than contain the waste in a place we can control it.

The system makes its own electricity.

If it would net Uncle Sam with the same number of tax dollars that gasoline does, we'd all be using it by now.

No matter what the point of view... everyone's a cynic.
