But first, what about the guy who supposedly invented this technology back in the 90's?

I would like to invest in these, but unfortunately, all my money is tied up in snake oil.

Water to hydrogen takes energy. Plus you have to keep doofuses like me from blowing up.

Already had these. They were called steam cars.

Ahh, you’ve been listening to biden’s investment advisor I see.

I don’t know if this kind of thing will ever become a reality. If it does, what does that do to the water supply that’s strained in many places already. Does the water simply turn into vapor then come back to earth in the form of rain and condensation? Does the hydrogen somehow return to the water or does it lessen over time.

Hydrogen powered cars are already a reality. The problem is getting the hydrogen and the energy it takes to make it. It seems like a dedicated nuclear plant could provide that energy if the real goal is to reduce emissions.

Technically, a steam car is water-driven, not water powered.

Years ago my father told me that there was someone who drove around the Newark area in a working model when he was a kid (the 1930’s).

I’ve been seeing stories about water engines for decades.

Not sure what to make of this except that the car exec moves up the status of the story about the way ufo stories have been upgraded by official government acknowledgement of them.

A mini-nuke plant and a simple steam turbine engine would be fine. Add a tablespoonful of fuel every few years…

Power = (force × distance) ÷ time. As the working fluid in a steam engine, the steam under pressure is a component of power.

What an amazingly information free video. Water has very little energy. The energy was released when the hydrogen and oxygen combined. Using water as an "energy source" is like starting the soapbox derby at the bottom of the hill - you aren't going anywhere unless you have another energy source.

Now, I have heard of a six-stroke engine with the extra two strokes as water injection and steam expansion followed by steam exhaust to give two power strokes out of six instead of one out of four. It has problems with corrosion and destroying the lubricating oil. Energy isn't coming from the water, but from the engine heated by the fuel being cooled by the injected water rather than the coolant water outside the cylinder.

No problem. The E-CAT cold fusion generator is just around the corner and can supply all the energy needed at nearly zero cost. Coupled with relatively free water, should be arriving in your local dealer’s showroom any time now.

A six-stroke engine would have one (and only one) power stroke for every six.

Hydrogen gas a nasty habit of leaking out of containers, too.
