    Alternative to petrol

    I know there was a big discussion a short while ago about that guy on tv that claimed to be able to run a bike on water using a special process. Here's something else on running a vehicle on water. I'm not a chemist so I have no idea of the validity of the process these guys use. Anyone here familiar with what they're talking about??

    It's about a car, but I'm sure it's applicable to bikes as well.

    ummm, maybe this works

    This system seems to be an advanced version of dropping (oops - placing) metals into acid which react in a similar fashion as described in the article thus producinh hydrogen. The major drawback to this that I can see, is, how often does the fuel rod (for want of a better term) need to be replaced?

    Didn't mentioned any mileage of this system.. nor how much this type of fuel would actually costs road users... and what happens in a crash accident.. You'd get chemical burns etc... not exactly an inert system
    You can't fight sleep.. if you feel tired, stop and rest!

    The hydrogen is made on the fly and is used as it's produced, you'd more likely get burnt from the super heated water.
