How'd the Illuminati Miss This Guy?

Man invents water-powered car. No, really.

This is setting off my bullshit-o-meter, because I find it hard to believe you can crack water molecules into an energetic gas without there being a greater energy cost somewhere along the way. OTOH if it actually works as advertized... Well, you can kiss the oil companies, coal companies, nuclear power industry, and who know who else buh-bye...

Yeah its kinda far fetched but I thought it was cool. The media can definitly blow things out of proportion. Although with a big enough magnito and alternator you should be able to crack the water as fast as needed. Then its a qustion of pressure into the system to run the engine. As an additive like they say on their website it makes little difference. If you could run the vehicle off f the hydrogen alone.... that would be a breakthough of monumental proportions and he would disapear real quick never to be heard from again.

An alternator powered with, say, gasoline? Sheesh.
