60minutes tonight (tv3)! (17 October 2005)

[InDeSkyz]

FYI: Bike built to run on water.

[Ixion]

The legnedary Spragthorpe Wheezehound Continental !. Perhaps the company has finally brought out the MK II. Those plans DID survive the blitz.

[froggyfrenchman]

yup, im waiting... have to see this!

[Mental Trousers]

I was wondering when that was on. I caught the last part of the ad and missed which show it was and time etc.

[Mental Trousers]

Ugh. The clown is riding around the carpark without a farken helmet on ffs.

Hope someone around here has taped it and can encode and torrent it.

[k14]

roflmao, that guy has definately sucked in tv3 on that one.

[Monsterbishi]

Hardly worth watching, they chucked a sniffer on the exhaust and it had a typical petrol reading for the CO & HC's, his excuse was that it was because of the oil within the engine was mixing with the water and that was what was causing it!

Even funnier was they burned a paper cup with some of his supposed fuel, and it went out as soon as it reached it, yet somehow a sparkplug manages to ignite it...

[pyrocam]

just watched it.

intresting.

if its a hoax then cool, it will spark intrest and get more people looking at it.
if its not then WOOOHOOO

just give it a proper seat and a headlight wouldnt be a bad idea (you think it was a fairing from inbetween the forks?)

[onearmedbandit]

That was, umm, interesting to say the least.

[ZorsT]

it can't run on water, water will not compress so when the piston comes up, something will break...

He said the only thing he changed was something in the carby...

[N4CR]

Okay... seen this.

First thing was electrolysis used to do something to the water... ok yep make hydrogen, fair enough.

The KEY here was the 'hdd coolers' stuck to the side of the tank, which looked quite icy. If you are a geek you realise they are just large waterblocks used for cooling hard drives with water. http://www.viperlair.com/reviews/coo...ek/blocks/hdd/
Like so.
If he were to supercool them with refridgerant it could alter the water to do something with the hydrogen that comes off through electrolysis. I have no idea what or how... (chemists please) but yeah, seems to work eh.

Or it could just be running on a litre left in the fuel lines


I would love it if this is true.

[tl_tub]

Just remember, people used to believe the world was flat! What does it hurt you to believe in it? Its going to happen eventually, though whatever magical equipment we develop.

[WINJA]

I THINK THAT CLOWN WAS EDDY "THE HEAT" TONGALAHI , EX WORLD CHAMP KICK BOXER ,YOU SHOULD TELL HIM OFF.
FUCK I HOPE THIS ISNT A HOAX , IF THIS GUYS FOR REAL THEN HES GONNA BE RICHER AND MORE RESPECTED THAN ANY ONE IN THE WORLD EVER.
40 YEARS AGO IF YOU SAID YOUVE INVENTED A SYSTEM WHERE INFORMATION IS READ FROM A DISC WITH LIGHT PEOPLE WOULDA SAID BULLSHIT

[tl_tub]

Also.. Why a motorbike.. Does it have something to do with high compression and carburation?

[N4CR]

it can't run on water, water will not compress so when the piston comes up, something will break...

He said the only thing he changed was something in the carby...

If it was sprayed in as vapour from the carbs, it would never be compressed fully (as the piston never goes above TDC which is not 100% compression of the cylinder) before igniting with the hydrogen, or perhaps his process makes it that under pressure the hydrogen comes out and the oxygen IN the water comes out also...
