Water you riding? Super clean motorcycle runs on H20 from a polluted river and can travel 310 MILES

A water-powered motorbike with the ability to travel up to 310 miles on a litre of H20 is turning heads in Brazil.

Lighter fare for discussion - fleeing the Trump and Planned Parenthood posts...

exactly how does it run on water??

[GeronL]

So that thing does what our car companies have been unable to do?

[Nailbiter]

Better question why is it a land bike and not a water bike

[Da Coyote]

Sorry, not buying this.

The physics appears to be done by glow -bull climate change science flunkees.

[meyer]

I can run 310 miles without any vehicle. Might take a while, however...

[wally_bert]

Where can I get some of this combustible water?

[DBrow]

You won’t get more energy out than the battery contains. The more changes you put the energy through the more losses you get, mostly due to entropy, the rest through inefficiencies.

When you burn H2-O2 you are still constrained by Carnot thermal efficiency.

If he can go 300 miles by electrolysing then burning water, he’d go much furhter on just the battery.

Supposedly it uses electrolysis to separate hydrogen and oxygen but I’m not buying it. Every school kid used to learn how to separate Hydrogen and Oxygen yet no one has managed to effectively produce it at the rate its needed for combustion.

Almost as neat as the Ficsh carburetor

I was going to question this guy until I saw the quality of his bungee cord setup.

[FreedomPoster]

As a trained Thermodynamacist, I heartily concur!

[Still Thinking]

Super clean motorcycle runs on H20 from a polluted river and can travel 310 MILES on a single litre

Repeal the laws of physics much? When you take hydrogen (or hydrocarbons) and burn them, water is one of the products of combustion. Thus water is already the low energy state of a combination of hydrogen and oxygen -- what are you gonna do, burn it again? Who do you think you are, Ebola?

lol

[Nifster]

well said

[Rockpile]

The bike will have an alternator recharging the battery. It will need to in order to fire the spark plugs and burn the gasoline from the hidden tank in the black case.
