Default Water Fuel!

Theoretical, this has some logic, but is it really true?

If this is true then this should be in world news.

I totally agree, but it seems like people don't get as crazed or world changing technology like they used to. Maybe it'll be world news when an auto company uses the engine.

HHO? WTF? 2 H(Hydrogen) and 1 one O(Oxygen) isnīt the same as H2O?

Its not a first time I see info about it and its probably true, water as I heard some time ago must be the strongest explosive too. Donno how and why thou.

Well it's the hydrogen in the water thats highly explosive, but you have to seperate it from the oxygen to do that. But it takes more energy to seperate it then it creates, so it totally defeats the purpose (theoretically that is).

Nope, not necessarily. The electrolosis he does breaks the bonds which hold water as H2O, so what they're calling HHO may be free floating hydrogen and oxygen atoms, which is odd since hydrogen is most stable as H2.

very interesting what this guy has managed on his own. seems like a very efficient process, so hopefully he'll get employed by (or sell ideas to) some major manufacturer someday.

I find it hilarious that major car companies spend billions of dollars on developing Hydrogen technology and this schmo in his garage just solved the world's energy crisis.

Life sure is funny

the problem is, these auto manufactuers are trying to develop a completely new system. all this guy did was retrofit his engine. which really just makes it a bolt on component, not a whole new system.

Actually...as I understand it, the Pantone engine doesn't do that at all. From what I've read, it runs precisely the same as a normal petrol engine except for the small fact that instead of spraying atomized, liquid fuel into the combustion chamber, gasoline fumes are used instead. Theoretically (according to Mr. Pantone) the result of this process is that the engine can reach 2-3 times the efficiency of a standard gasoline engine. I don't really know that I believe this to be true, but it's a nice thought all the same. I'll do some more research and post some links when I've got some free time.[/i]
