Fight Gas Rape With A Water Car Conversion
A motor vehicle in which the fuel is water without any other energy output is called a water-fuelled car. The fuel in water-fuelled cars is hydrogen, from the compound of water. This type of vehicle is not a steam engine due to using the hydrogen as energy not steam.
A steam engine is one where a source, such as wood or coal, is burned to heat up water. After the water is heated, it becomes steam, which then moves the engine. The fuel source in this case is the wood or coal, not the water.
Because water is a waste product, it is hard to convert it into fuel. Petrol (gas), wood or coal converts fuel into a substance with less energy. Energy is converted by being released when unstable bonds are converted into stable bonds.
Water is a very stable bond already. Due to its stability, water resists most reactions. For water to be converted into energy, a high-energy compound must be added.
Adding calcium carbide to water makes a fuel called acetylene. In this stance, the fuel is the calcium carbine not the actual water. The only real way to make water a fuel is by electrolysis.
Electrolysis is a process of a current of power is sent through the water to separate the bond. The hydrogen then from the compound of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen, is used as the energy source. It takes a lot of power to separate the bond.
It is not completely considered a water-fuelled engine because this type of engine needs a battery to be able to convert the water into energy by electrolysis. An efficiency of 50-70% is the conversion of hydrogen. The vehicle does not stay moving very long because using that much energy from the battery does not allow it to last very long.
A proper and successful water fuelled car has yet to be designed. Creating a truly water-fuelled vehicle is blocked by the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Many vehicles that have been created with the idea that they are water-fuelled have been classified as perpetual motion machines due to the strictness of these two laws.
A true water-fuelled car could possibly be an invention in Japan this year, but it has yet to receive its patent. An invention must have a patent in order to be proved of good quality and marketed. A company gets a patent in order to keep from being copied.
It is possible that they have finally found a way to use the abundant resource of water for fuel with the Japanese company trying to hard to get their patent. Then the millions around the world who have been hurt by the raise of the price of petrol can breathe a little more easily if this is the case. We will have a cleaner and cheaper way to get around in the not so distant future.
Other manufacturers have not yet been leaked the information on this water-fuelled car. The Japanese are able to keep a secret to themselves. Within the next ten years it is believed that there will be water-fuelled cars on the market, once the patent has been obtained.
