and to create the electricity that your car runs on you will need to burn fossil fuels in a factory. it wouldn't make a difference.

just tie a few ambulance altenators to your car, like 10 of em, drive em off of some windmill ---- on your roof or a tire, and viola. 2300amps of 12v power. invert that to like 120vdc, and still, 230 amps is pretty amazing

You guys are idiots. I'm going to eat some food, take a nap, and maybe watch some TV. After I do that, I will be happy to explain why you are all idiots.

Ever see water dripping from an exhaust pipe, holmes? Steam out the exhaust on cold mornings? Now where do you think that comes from.
also condensation from when the engine was not running

Nuclear/solar/geothermal/wind, that's what bigwig was explaining above.

I know I have seen somewhere they have some getting 150-200 miles per charge.

As was answered before the engine is not running on water. Water is a by-product of combustion. Oh, and you can't see steam. That would be condensed water vapor.

+1

Apparently you ******* failed chemistry, HHO is not a molecule that would ever exist.

The energy used to turn the alternator to produce the current is never going to be less than the energy released by the hydrogen/ oxygen fuel.

It will save you on gas, but you should watch your voltage appropriately.

Disagree, read Taylor's Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice. Water production is one of the last rxns in the combustion process, and then the water has to have a certain amount of dwell time to absorb heat and become wet steam/expand. Very obviously expressed by how iso-octane based gasolines only make 11% of peak pressure by the time the combustion reaction is 90%+ completed. All the CO2, and other impurities from detergent crap or inefficient rxns, are merely contaminants to the working fluid.
