Water Powered Car Demonstrated? Water Powered Car Demonstrated?

Denny Klein, an inventor from Florida, has introduced the world’s first water powered car. His own 1994 Ford Escort, labeled “Hydrogen Technology”, can run on a combination of water and gasoline, and Klein says it is possible to develop a system powered purely by water. The prototype is a hybrid car, shown to drive 100 miles using 4 ounces of water, without losing power. "You just drive it like a regular car. The infrastructure is already in place to get it serviced so we don't have to reinvent the wheel," Klein said.

Klein’s “Aquygen” is water or H2O broken down and turned into HHO gas – a process that scientists previously considered impossible to implement. A small device was demonstrated to emit a flame hotter than the surface of the Sun; A flame so intense it can burn a hole through charcoal and turn a brass ball to glowing liquid metal within seconds. While steel, lead, and other metals slice on contact, the tip of the welder remains only slightly warm to touch. Klein says that people don’t believe him, even though it’s a natural electrolysis process. It requires a greater amount of water than the amount of HHO gas produced, but the resulting gas combines the atomic power of hydrogen and the chemical stability of water. “No other gas will do this” –he says. 

Klein and his colleagues are planning to provide a cheap, eco-friendly and practical alternative fuel, which will end the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. An engine that runs on a gasoline-water mix burns 50-percent less gasoline. "The way the water molecule is restructured, it releases a tremendous amount of energy when mixed with a catalyst. The Aquygen can easily be turned back into H2O” - said Klein as he pointed at drops of water running off a sheet of metal. A representative from Klein’s company said that the fuel production cost is estimated at around 70 cents per hour, with 1,500 liters of Aquygen produced in an hour. 

Denny Klein has patented the Aquygen generation process, and his invention is drawing attention worldwide – “Microsoft started from a small garage, why not Hydrogen technology?” - he laughs. Klein was recently invited by members of Congress to demonstrate his invention in Washington. It has been reported that his company is currently developing a gasoline-water hybrid Hummer for the US military. 

The technology is still undergoing various government and independent tests, and company managers say it will be ready to hit the market in about 2 years. In response to the reports, many critics argued that the story is a complete hoax, saying that the energy required to convert H2O to HHO is greater than that provided by burning Aquygen. Others have raised concerns about the long term impact of such an energy source on the car engine. 

In 1995, several shows aired a report about Stanley Meyer – an inventor from Ohio, who also claimed to invent a water fuel cell, which was demonstrated on his dune buggy, powered by water alone. Meyer passed away in 1998, and many say he received threats from oil companies and was poisoned after refusing to abandon his technology.

TFOT recently covered several hydrogen related topics, including a new hydrogen powered bike from China, Ford's Fusion Hydrogen 999, 500-horsepower fuel cell race car, and a new research at Purdue University in Indiana on a method that uses an aluminum alloy to extract hydrogen from water.

you have to be kidding me   (09/27/07 - 13:51 - by kneemoe)
do you guys screen this stuff or just post whatever comes your way?
remember Brown's gas for down under? it was a scam then and its a scam
now, this video was all over the 'net 6 months ago and laughed at
then, what's different now? there's no evidence he's working with the
military, seriously this is just BUNK

interesting   (09/27/07 - 17:33 - by Iddo Genuth)
I actually find the whole thing very interesting even if it is a hoax.
Do note that Sarah wrote: "many critics argued that the story is a
complete hoax...".

We do not accept this blindly (or even at all) however in the very
slim chance that there is something here - this is worth mantioning.

Anyway if this is indeed a hoax of some sort it is also worth
mentioning (and your link is helpful) in debunking the hoax and
prevent people from thinking this is real.

Dont be Stupid   (12/16/07 - 17:51 - by Just Me )
Dont be stupid and say something doesnt work when you have never tried
it yourself i for one believe why? well for one if you take a glass of
water and a battery put the batery in the water with a baggy over it
in about an hour walla hydrogen fills that back and you can take it
off and burn it very simple experiment for you idiots out there so
that being said it only stands to reason that using more electricity
can produce hydrogen at a faster rate now there are some things you
have to consider which i am not going to go into right now however i
am currently experimenting on my own making a hydrogen hybrid just
using your car/car battery gas/water mixture dont say something cant
work just cause you dont understand it truth is out there peace.
REPLY 2 Just Me   (12/27/07 - 8:34 - by me)
Don't forget to count if you spend less money producing hydrogen than
the benefits you recover from using it!
???   (01/02/08 - 13:15 - by Moe)
how much energy do you need to produce one liter of this "HHO"? How
mutch of this energy can be regained when it is burned. How is it
stored, or is it produced while the car is driving? is the secret
soley the high temperature? This article diddnt help me at all to
understand the basic conzept.
cool   (01/09/08 - 8:00 - by angelfish133)
i think that this is kinda cool.
cool   (01/09/08 - 8:12 - by angelfish133)
WOW ITS COOL HOW U CAN MAKE YOUR OWN WATER POWERED CAR.I HOPE PLP WILL
GO WIT CARS LIKE THIS AND SAVE THE WORLD FROM CLOBAL WARMING!

Lets say it is all afake story to get attention, but even if it is why
not try and make it true. it would be great to have acar that runs on
water. Pluse if it is true then we could take it from where it was
left and turne it into something big.
something for noting   (02/02/08 - 11:11 - by Kenny Kuhns)
This is a clear voilation of the second law of thremodynamics.

I have been testing an electrolyzer on my 96 dodge caravan since
dec21/07 and am getting 33.36% better gas mileage. Yes, I took a
reading before installation and keep records. It works extremely well.
peak oil   (02/28/08 - 4:51 - by Baron)
This is completly true and fisible technology ,as a matter of fact
water powered engines designed all over the world dating back to 20
years and all of them silenced with money or other ways, i witnessed
this incident myself when a colegue of my uncle who is nuclear
engineer(designing x-ray machines for ship builders) builded a simple
convertion machine which produced %55-60 horsepower of original
engine using only water(not hybrid)and get death threats shortly
afterwards from very well known unknown! sources and had to abandon
his project,some unlucky ones actually implemented the system in car
and even call a tv station and make live demonstration, and few days
later they were lost! ,go search \"peak oil\" on internet ,oil is 102$
per barrel today it will become unusable when it reach 140~$ ,you will
see more and more miracle project coming out as we get close to 140$
per barrel.

be careful when you post this stuff inventors, some of these websites
are government decoys, so they can find out who you are and delete
you. efficiently. and quietly
about the cost.   (03/29/08 - 20:07 - by Larry)
How much does it cost to find,harvest,pipe,ship(across the ocean),take
to refinery,covert to gasoline,then distribute? That has to cost alot!
this is true   (04/10/08 - 21:35 - by mike)
This is an accurate story. I have seen this in action. As for the
comment that "it the energy required to convert H2O to HHO is greater
than that provided by burning Aquygen" is total rubbish especially
because the entire thing can be powered by solar technology costing
nothing but the startup equipment. See-ya oil companies!!
dumb people   (04/21/08 - 21:23 - by mike)
yes you can run hydrogen into your engine with a battery and water.
Its just like taking the engine power to make a turbo run and throwing
more air into the engine. Yes they do work and yes you can get better
gas milage. Car makers would use this but turbos for your car work
better. They dont make turbos for every car because it would make the
price higher.
the government or oil companies dont care what u do.

To all you that think it is impossible. Whatr do you think we send
rockets and shuttles into space with???? Hydrogen and oxygen.
Can we really run car with water?   (06/21/08 - 1:17 - by johnandrews52)
Can we run our car with water and gas?
Can anybody tell me is the HHO Gas is real working or is another
scam?

This car is run purely by water   (07/09/08 - 10:27 - by arnhold)
i think the first ever car that can run with water as fuel (no
gasoline needed) was first introduced in the Philippines in as early
as 1969. it was invented by Daniel Dingel. You can watch the
demonstration here:

class project water powered cars   (09/16/08 - 3:13 - by Patrick)
I've been doing some research into water powered car the process
appears to be the same that the navy use to make oxygen on submarines
so i don't see why you can't use the hydrogen as an add on fuel
source.
Techonology is so Good   (11/11/08 - 19:10 - by khooper)
As automation technology and Cargo Liners has progressed, especially
in the decades after the invention of the integrated circuit, more and
more functions have been added to automobiles, relieving the driver of
much of the mundane moment-to-moment decision making that may be
regarded as having made driving tedious.
The catch   (11/30/08 - 11:52 - by Craig Linhardt)
The big catch with this system is that you will need to coat your
cylinders with ceramic and replace the valves with stainless steel.
This does not violate the second law of thermo. Internal compustion
engines are at best 37% efficient. There is plenty of energy available
for use. I could see this working, like the way salt peter and sulfer
make coal burn realy fast when ground into a powder (gun powder).
HHO to suppliment fuel   (12/06/08 - 16:36 - by Andy)
Danny Kliens car here uses normal "gas" with his electrolyser. The
products include water vapour as well as "HHO" (Browns gas). Inso
adding these gasses his engine burns much better and on top of that he
can set his "gas" mix to run leaner. His valves not burning out due to
a lean mix are offset by the water vapour absorbing some of the heat
of the flame front to produce dry steam and produce even greater
expansion of gasses. A true win-win situation.

patents are public record, and have been reviewed by US patent
examiners. I would like to look at it for myself to see what the
patented claims are. Why didn\'t the reporter bother to check?

william walton anything is possible as long as you believe!
2 years later   (06/22/09 - 14:28 - by kneemoe)
2 years later folks, and where's this tech? Its still ONLY in this
guy's head - it does not exist outside of that crazy world. If it
were feasible to break water down into its constituent gasses and then
burn it *efficiently* we would be doing it. Electrolysis takes a butt
load of energy, its inescapable. Hydrogen powered cars will likely
exist at some point, but they aren't going to use cathodes to break
water down to achieve it unless there's some "free" energy (solar?)
entering the system.
