Correct. The main issue is the fact that, within the H2O molecule, the oxygen shares electrons with the hydrogen atoms. In order to split them, you need to supply an electron to each of the hydrogen atoms... Thus Faraday's Law.
That being said, I won't discount alternative methods of producing hydrogen, but electrolyzing water would not be it.
Isn’t the guy who created the water powered car “dead”? Thought I saw something about this before where the someone stole the prototype and anything related to it
Equinox 2 Stanley Meyer, there is a part 1& even a 3rd i believe. This man designed, created, & patent a water powered vehicle. Supposedly poisoned dead & patent dissapeared/ changed..??
Awesome post, thanks! This has been an off and on again interest of mine for a number of years now, and haven't seen either of your links before, the 1st one is great, going to watch the 2nd one in a bit.
Edit: Vid was only 1:29, took the time to watch lol. Pretty cool, while the idea seems revolutionary today, it must have really seemed such back then.
Hopefully this gets developed more, great alternative to e-cars, and maybe even able to convert standard cars.
With The Great Awakening revealing many things to humanity, I'm really hoping alternative technologies will be as well. If they haven't been furthered unbeknownst to us, then breaking up the Big companies would allow for development.
There's not nearly enough hydrogen in water to replace hydrocarbons, just look at how much less energy you get burning Ethanol (a C2 hydrocarbon) vs Gasoline (a mix of C8/C9/C10s). The energy density of H2 gas is pathetic so it needs to be stored as a liquid at very high pressure and low temperature to compare.
Water is the "ashes" of burning hydrogen, so saying there is a car that runs on hydrogen from water is... Well... No. It absolutely doesn't, unless there a hydrogen fusion reactorin there.
The link you linked is actually about a car that would be accurately described as powered by calcium carbide. And here's where you put the energy in:
Calcium carbide is produced industrially in an electric arc furnace from a mixture of lime and coke at approximately 2,200 °C (3,990 °F).[5] This is an endothermic reaction requiring 110 kilocalories (460 kJ) per mole[6] and high temperatures to drive off the carbon monoxide. This method has not changed since its invention in 1892:
I hate to be a party pooper, but that claim is so huge it would be equally plausible to say it runs on magical unicorn farts... He was likely mistaken about where the energy was coming from or deliberately lying for some reason. Possibly to hide the real mechanism?
Don't be. Unicorn farts might be an easier sell than the truth of it. Fewer health risks as well. That said, Stan's engine wasn't burning anything...not even imaginary stuff. No oxidation. No chemical reaction. Most of his effort was smoke and mirrors to hide his discovery/invention. There were a few clues. In the end,...rest in peace Stanley.
Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen takes more energy than you get from recombining them.
No free energy at all. Energy has to be added from somewhere else to keep sucha vehicle running.

Ok so who has the designs? How do I retrofit my old Nissan?

Hammond crashes all of them to
Bingo on Big Oil, spot on.

Stanly wasn't burning Hy or anything else. His patient hid the true mechanism well. Folks still scratching their heads.

how many inventions have been kept fom us so their profit engines would keep humming?
when i was in college, some of the grad students modified a gas engine and got a prototype to go hundreds of miles on a single gallon of gas.
must have been bad for the environment right?
