I need your keys, boots and motorcycle

Does anyone have a spare bike, some know how and fancy a giggle trying this??? I"d be very interested to see if it would work for a bike.

Heh. Great line from one of the best movies ever.

That would be totally awesome if it worked though. You could get a swimming pool at your house and be set with gas for the rest of your life.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

So he's using electrolysis to split the hydrogen and oxygen in water... then drawing it by vacuum into the air-intake.

I'd hate to see what would happen if that back fired.

fyi,

California have already developed the technology (Water + Electricity = Hydrogen gas) & have been using Hydrogen Fueling stations for a while. The thing is you can run a conventional engine on it. All you need is a storage tank (CNG / LPG bottle) & a tune & you're on your way.

Plenty of info on the web + plenty of crap too.

Check it out on this link.... interseting stuff

i think what hes trying to use is Henry Garrett (?)s idea from the 1930s.
if thats right, then what hes forgetting to mention is that hes basically using 20% or so from the hydrogen combustion from the elctrolysis and the rest from the actual car battery, which is why it may work when hes showing it at the park in LA for about an hour or so, after which he'd have to pull out the jumper cables from the boot, because the battery would die from all that drain and not enough coming back to charge itself..it wouldve been much easier if he just used a battery operated car.lol.nice try...

A bloke in Christchurch did this some years ago even had a patient for the unit that produced the gas, the patent details are on the net somewhere and look just like a hydrogen fuel cell of modern invention, the output of the cars generation system was enough to power it.

Right, tomorrow I'm going to grab the wifes car and give it a crack!

Someone needs a Web Design course. My eyes just melted.

Did the patient survive?

got a mate with one he made in a v 6 sigma
seems to work ok and no difference in running of the motor
will be interestin on how much it saves
keeping a eye on it to see how it all goes

All the details of the patient are out there and I understand it has lapsed, (dont quote me on that) but it would seem a lot of folks are experimenting with the design idea and concept, there are some issues apparently with the science around it, something like getting more energy out that what was put in, but this thinking rules out the potential energy of the water.

Some folks forget we humans do not know everything ... yet. Our notion certain "laws" are perfect forgets to take this basic fact into account, its the old story never say something is impossible just because we dont yet know how to solve the problem.

I think you missed his point. Patient vs Patent.

Whoops ok been a long day will fix that in the post and am hearby ready to accept I stuffed up

I guess I really should be testing the insides of my eyelids for their ability to exclude light but too much to do.

they have safety 'catch' kind of things to stop a big bang.
they had a guy on cambell live who had done it to his falcon and was using about 5l per 100km.
