The vehicle was driven around White Rock Lake using 1 gallon of water from the lake. It was later driven all over Dallas with no problems or engine damage to the 4 cylinder engine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hydrogen in internal combustion engines This is a translation of an article that appeared in the magazine "IMPLOSION" in german language, in 1983. The title of the article is WATER - FUEL OF THE FUTURE? and I would like to make this information available as it describes one of the simplest methods of separating water into hydrogen and oxygen for use as fuel in an internal combustion engine, with an expenditure of electrical energy much inferior to the energy content of the hydrogen gas obtained. Here is the text of the article: Almost all drivers have made the experience that the motor runs better when it rains. This is also a reason why our parents sprayed coal with water to make it burn better. Therefore it is no wonder that for years some drivers have used a kind of water spray injector, which is very simple. It is a container of plastic or glass, which can be closed airtight. A thin pipe with an acquarium valve leads through the top cover down close to the bottom of the container. A second pipe enters only about 5 cm into the container from the top cover and is connected with the carburetor or the air filter. The container is filled with water to just below the level of the second pipe. The suction of the carburetor pulls air through the water in the container and so adds hydrogen and oxygen to the gas mixture, which results in a lowered consumption of gasoline. This simple mechanism was improved by the New Zealand inventor Archie Blue with some additions so that the water vapor alone can run an internal combustion engine, without gasoline. It runs about 40 km with 1 liter of water. His American patent (number 4,124,463) is so simple that anyone with mechanical skills can produce it. On the non-metallic air pipe that enters the container, are mounted at equidistant intervals eight corrosion free round metallic plates, which have been perforated with numerous holes. They are electrified alternately with positive and negative DC voltage from the car battery (12 Volt, 2-3 Amp). The resulting electrolysis separates the water into oxygen and hydrogen which attach to the metal plates in small bubbles. The air bubbles forced through the water by the suction of the carburetor take those small bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen with them to the top of the container. The energy thus obtained is three times that of gasoline per weight. No poisonous exhaust gases are produced because the end product of combustion is water vapor. The air needs only 4 % of enrichment with these gases to burn hotter and faster than natural gas. Warm water is easier to electrolyse and therefore a heating element is mounted in the bottom of the container.
