Who among you heard of water running an engine.?
IN the Philippines, we have someone who announced that he can run a car with water. But, unfortunately, he died without getting a patent from our incompetent government. Years later, I met someone who showed me an 8 cylinder American Car model 85. These are the big ones like the cadillac. He showed me the car's engine, and I saw a gallon of liquid with bubbles raising. Then he showed me the exhaust pipe and I notice water dripping out of it.
He also told me that he was able to get a partial patent from the technology of that old man who died without getting any support from our government on his "water engine,"
Sort of weird, but, could be true.

It takes more energy to separate the water into hydrogen and oxygen (the only way to burn it) than you get back by recombining it for combustion in an IC engine. So, no, not possible with known technology.

He is running the car on hydrogen. That is done by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen by means of electrolysis. The byproduct of combustion with normal air we breathe and hydrogen is nitrogen and water vapor.

water only works to spin turbine engines, so you would have to have a huge reservoir on the roof to drive it.. but with all that weight the top speed would be very low..
