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

I will get my boots on. I smell bovine excrement.
Story seems to be long on hype and short on real information. “Sao Paulo-based public officer Ricardo Azevedo” I don’t know what a Public Officer is, but I suspect he is a government employ or something. That in it self tell me a lot.
Now, another story about the 300mph H2R Kawasaki would be well worth reading.
Electricity can be used to separate the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of a water molecule. The atoms can be “burned” in an internal combustion engine making water and heat. I don’t know how strongly exothermic the reaction is but it can run an engine. Hydrogen storage is difficult as the atom is small and permeable.
[[exactly how does it run on water??]]
It’s got a perpetual motion device which stirs the water counter clockwise- the faster you go, the faster the perpetual motion device spins, and the faster the water spins- you just have to watch out for water spouts, as they have been known to cause havoc from time to time
I knew a guy who claimed wrestling was real and football was fake. He was so dumb I didn’t know how serious he was. He also claimed to be a biker but didn’t own a bike.
Cuyahoga River, not Cayuga. And it was long before Dennis the Menace Kucinich was mayor. Carl Stokes, the "first Black mayor of a major city", was mayor. And you know what happens to a city when that happens.
It won’t work in Australia.
:-P
oh dang, that’s right- Darn my uni-directional perpetual motion device
The trick is to steal energy from the fabric of spacetime itself....
I stand corrected. Fuzzy memory after too much pizza at someone’s party I guess. Thank you.
Funny thread! As I expected. A final thought though: even IF this fantasy were real (which it can’t be or else it’s the battery used here that’s the real star of this show not the water) then this little project would still incur the wrath of the environmental wackos. Why? Because water vapor is an even BETTER “greenhouse gas” than CO2!
So this solves nothing, as far as appeasing the environmental wackos. Even if it were true. Which it’s not.
Apparently consulted with Dr. White of NASA upon extracting energy from the vacuum. The water issue is a cover story for an “impulse engine” being road tested. (S)
