running your evo on water?

I see the ebay kits to run you car on water. Has anyone ever put one on a boosted car? I know they work on a n/a car but i'm not sure how it would act under boost. It converts the water into hydron

Actually it doesn't convert water to H2. It takes an electrolytic reaction to do that. And besides, you could not introduce H2 to a regular combustion engine and expect it to run.

This ebay thing is a scam.

This makes me mental. Before anyone makes the claim that this works, like one of my friends does, please show me an actual working example. It does not exist! I'm sure this has to do with the government/big business conspiracy that resulted in the death of the water car guy that's all over the web.

Please, stop the b.s. Everything you read on the internet is NOT true, despite your wishes to the contrary.

That and the fact that you can't create h2 as fast as the car would eat it wthout odles of technology.

looks legit to me .. I say go ahead and order the kit for your Evo ...

Were you 1 of many Enron investors back in early 2001 ? If so, I say go for it. What do you have to loose ?

Lets not forget the amount of energy required to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. That pretty much negates any energy you would get from burning hydrogen and oxygen. Old and busted.

Why not forget about that and all scientific knowledge that proves this won't work? That's the only way the guy on ebay can feed his family.

True man, let's put our heads together and make some money. At least we know that whatever we come up with, whether it works or not, we can always sell on ebay.

Think about it, it WILL WORK! If water is also injected with the gas, as it combust in the cylinders, the water will evaporate into Oxygen and hydrogen gas right? Both are flammable gas!

So you'll get more power and have to use less gasoline!



kidding.
